Sunday

there have been other viral pics of sick kids, as well as pics from places like yemen, where no 1 seems to notice the famine.
and the part where everything is blamed on israel and almost nothing on hamas makes my blood boil.
i do wish there were more credible journos there.

and ftr, i was a hospice volunteer for 5 yrs, and saw kids, here in chicago, w all the medical care in the world, who looked like they were starving.
