Why am I not writing? My heart hurts for Gaza's children.

And I refuse to pretend that apartheid anywhere is acceptable. Since speaking on the subject labels me anti-Semite, why don't I just listen. I've been sad about this to the point I'm speechless. I'll be a Jimmy Carter-loving outsider any day. I'm tired of the hypocrisy. Peace means nothing to me right now as long as this country I love and support decides to wholeheartedly, unequivocally, unilaterally, and quite ridiculously love and support apartheid. I don't have hope. 2009 is so much worse than a bad economy. As nothing is done with Mugabe and nothing is done for Palestine....then I really have nothing to say right now. I just really wish people would listen to really intelligent world leaders trying to do the right thing, and hoping America will do the same. Intelligent thing to do: have a heart for children suffering and dying needlessly. Their voices aren't heard much, but they are there, if you listen.
