Im honestly having trouble understanding this.
Casualties in Lebanon over 1000
Casualties in Israel about 100
As the numbers keep climbing they maintain a 10 to 1 ratio.
A majority of Lebanese killed are civilians.
The US says it's working for sustainable peace.
The US is supplying, and at times, expediting weapons to Israel.
So friends, help me if I'm missing something.
But shouldn't there be an outcry from the people to our elected officials:
"Do not send our bombs to Israel"
Shouldn't our military strength be leveraged to stop killing?
Did I miss the efforts made by Israel to find resolution through diplomatic intervention and multi-national census?
Do we think that this will improve the tense relations between the Arab and Western world?
Seriously, what am I missing?
Because right now, I am so ashamed to be an American.

this post made me cry. because i agree with you. and because i think it's going to get worse. i'm not saying it's wrong for americans, or christians, to support israel. but it is grieviously wrong to do it mindlessly, because it's a familiar word from the bible or because a pastor or politician has told us so.
Pastor John,
You are the bomb!
(a peaceful bomb...
you know what I mean).
I think you are missing that this is deeper rooted than your or I can comprehend growing up in western culture.
