oh boy.
that was painful to watch.
there's two things that really pain my heart:
first, you dont have to have the gift of prophecy to see, clearly, a religious war is already kindled, and threatening to burst into full flame.
that grieves me no end.
and the second thing is this: it really pains me to contemplate the fact, that we may have to defend this homeland, as the Israeli's have to do, by shedding blood.
Golda Meir said privately to Anwar Sadat, and i paraphrase, "its not the fact that your sons killed our sons, its the tragedy that our sons HAD to kill yours.
here is a brief clip from that first press conference: (i loved Golda so much, she and my grandmother, who raised me, could have been twin sisters. Golda was a great leader)
