This backlash is exactly what has Israel vulnerable in the first place. It is outrageous !

Can't Israel accept the decisions of its own leaders? That is crazy. What is wrong with everyone?

How long have I heard from the Prime Minister of Israel there can be no pre-conditions to any ceasefire? It seems like forever. That is exactly what has occurred here and now people are stating he is not worthy of their loyalty? That makes no sense.

All these people are heroes to their nations. The leaders involved have done the impossible.

There are no winners or losers here, there are simply people alive. Haven't enough died? Over decades, haven't enough died?

CNN's Carol Costello read a remark by those responsible for the bombing of the bus stating it was in revenge of the deaths of the al-Dallu family. I ran across this picture in the Los Angeles Times. Ms. Costello also asked, "Who is the al-Dallu family?" during her broadcast.

This was one of the homes hit during the targeting of militants in Gaza. From reading reports there were four children involved. 

I am grateful for #Occupy

Since early (cick here) Wednesday morning, Norman Kai Lee, owner of Stable House Bar and Café in Bedford-Stuyvesant, has been busy overseeing nearly 30 food preppers at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Fort Hamilton. Some cooks chopped fruits and vegetables while others cleaned, seasoned and brined turkeys in what has become a major hub of food distribution for Occupy Sandy.
