I should have watched the Golden Bachelor. We watched Anderson Cooper's blow by blow account of the massacre at the music festival. I'm torn apart. Hamas brought this war to them. It was a certainty. Probably part of the plan. Maybe even a trap. On the other hand I cannot stand to see what appears to be bombing of all of Gaza. I proposed an idea which has so far been scoffed at. Hamas returns the hostages in exchange for a humanitarian cease fire on both sides.

Who on earth scoffs?

Bizarre and tragic seem to be the words which characterize our world. My heart aches for the Israeli people who suffered such unspeakable savagery. My heart aches also for the hundreds, thousands, perhaps millions of poor, innocent Palestinian held hostage in this maelstrom by terrorists. Sixty five years ago, my Aunt Jane served in Gaza with UN … Will there NEVER be Peace ??

I must admit, Esther... I’ve never sunk to watching The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, The Golden Bachelor, or any other public sale of flesh. Not even a terrible war can will drive me there. 😣
