Earlier this week an Israeli family was murdered in their homes in the West Bank by Palestinian terrorists.
This was quickly glossed over or minimized by the media; or worse the victims themselves were blamed for living where they did.
I usually try to keep the politics and preaching off of here - leaving people free to choose their own way.
But this case is different.
I've spent extended periods of time in Israel, and have good friends amongst Israelis. I also have Arab friends I've made during my time in those nations.
Argue everything else you want - there is one side in this conflict that tries to protect innocents, and one that seeks to harm them.
The link here goes to graphic pictures of the attack. I won't post them here out of respect for how the family is dealing with this; but they want the information shared.
Take the time. Look. Absorb the evil which could do this to innocent children and families, sleeping in their homes.
This is what Israel has faced every day since 1947 (and before, when the Mandate was still in effect). People who seek to kill them simply for the crime of existing.
Remember this when you are deciding which side you are on in life.

I completely missed it, of course. Appalling, and that word just isn't strong enough.
I have for a long time been on the side of the people who canceled air strikes if they spotted families near their targets, and against the side of people who creep across the border to murder families in their beds.
