Gut-wrenching Contrasts

In response to Israel’s threat to invade Gaza, Hamas says, “Bring it on.”

Of course they do, because that is the testosterone-fueled thing to say, the proper hate-filled response. It doesn’t consider the thousands of Gazans who want nothing to do with Hamas and are caught in the middle—the ones who face the relentless bombardment and scarcity of essentials that will keep them alive.

Hamas, it appears, doesn’t really care about all those people. They just hate Israel and want them to “bring it on.”

I so love my morning coffee and a quiet start to my day. It seems the simplest of pleasures. Somehow, lately, a guilty pleasure.
