Taking Sides


Last weekend two demonstrations about the Hamas-Israel war faced off in our town square, one in support of Palestinians and a much smaller one in support of Israelis. 

What is going on in Gaza and Israel is hard to process. 

Do these California demonstrations help create a path to peace in West Asia? Is a path to peace what matters?

What might create a path?

According to Captain Thirdrate, a path to peace will require a government in Israel that cares deeply about meeting the needs of Palestinians. And Hamas, with a history of unspeakable savagery, would have to be replaced by credible Arab leaders. 

Then negotiations for peace could start.
