God this photo kills me. The granfather reminds me of my Dad. He looks so weak...

1. This is too sad...

I am hoping that this madness ends soon. It just seems that this world has really been thrown into chaos and I don't know how much more I will be able to stand.

Now you see why I don't watch the news? It's just too damn depressing.

5. Madness is an understatement

but we must not believe photos even though Israel is throwing leaflets telling them to get out of their homes or die. I am fugging sick of it and I am no longer sure if it is the barbarian slaughter or the responses which sickens me more.

What did that old man do to Israel and the US -what??

Here's a link from the UN Daily Noon Press Briefing: By the Office of the Spokesman for the Secretary-General. I listen to these daily for some objective news.
