No matter your politics, deep inside, you must have compassion. And this diary from inside the Gaza strip during a 50-day "conflict" can only raise your hackles that the world powers play with words to hide their deeds. If I'm conflicted over what I'll have for dinner. No one dies. Israel and Palestine are conflicted over who should own what land. Slaughter. Indiscriminate, eeny-meeny-miney-moe, you hold the short straw slaughter. I never read such an intimate non-political rendering of trying to persist day-to-day buying food and separating your family so that at least some of them might survive. God save us all
