I’m sorry. I’ve got no single mother schtick for you tonight.
All I can think about tonight is the suffering of the people trapped in the Gaza Strip. No matter how far on the side of Israel you might find yourself to be, have a thought for the women, children, men trapped by the blockade, living without the basic infrastructure that makes our lives so easy. And pray that there is a solution to this mess that doesn’t include the mass murder of an entire people, on either side of the equation.
