Let Them Eat Cake (and pasta)!
Please do not construe this rant as anti-Israel or pro-Palestine— I’m neither. I’m PRO-PEOPLE!!! No, acts of terrorism, violence or hatred against any person, group, country— should be tolerated, and should be punished to the full extent of the law. But I must confess, hunger breeds unrest— I myself get a bit cranky if I skip a meal or two. No child in our country or in our world should go hungry— EVER! And certainly not because of some arbitrary ruling that prevents food stuffs from crossing borders to feed hungry civilians. Honestly, macaroni used as a weapon?!? The only danger perhaps is to burgeoning waistlines— but who is obese in war-ravaged neighborhoods?!?
Let’s be practical, hungry persons will not direct their anger towards the terrorist organization whose activities are perhaps being diverted by limiting supplies to the region, law-abiding citizens, who are starving, will channel hostility toward those who are seen as preventing them from feeding their needy children!!
Dish with us on this issue and whatever else is on your plate…

Are we all feeling ever so slightyly vindicated now?
Re: Sista’s post: there is no excuse for withholding food …ever..from anyone. It’ll be interesting to see what Hillary does with the Israel/Gaza disaster. I’m sure she’s got a plan.

great post, sista.
i totally agree with you…
and as to the article about schools punishing children’s deadbeat parents, I’m appalled.
i’m a retired public school teacher, and i can tell you there are two things that set a child apart from his/her peers: what they’re wearing and what they’re eating for lunch.
not to sound like a “commie”, but i think children should wear uniform clothing provided for them and be served the same school cuisine. Children Need to feel secure in their school environment, not set apart from it. It’s really beyond cruel when a child experiences being “different” because of worn-out faded clothes, etc. …life is so hard for so many of these children…why punish them more? jeeze.
Those school systems involved in serving “cold”, are just that! shame on them!

everything hinges on middle east peace process resuming…without that on track, no other conflict in the region can be resolved.
on February 27th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
i agree with that..it’s the starting point.and if it can be done HILLARY will do it!
