This morning, driving to work, I saw the above bumper sticker. This is truly the height of naiivity, for it assumes that every breed of every group represented by these symbols wants to coexist...a thought that is truly a pipe dream.Case in point: The continuing flow of Palestinians from Gaza, over the breached security wall, across the Philadelphia Corridor, into Egypt's Sinai Desert...and the return to Gaza of weapons that will be used against Israel.
An interesting Israeli perspective can be heard here at this streaming podcast from Marty Roberts, a New Yorker now living in Israel, and host of The Marty Roberts Show. Given the potential disaster for Israel that is unfolding, it gives an alternate perspective to the post I submitted yesterday. Egypt, it seems, is incapable or unwilling to control the flow from "Hamastan," although in fairness, it appears that Israel is equally paralyzed.
I fear that the situation will get much worse before it gets better. John Lennon wrote:
Imagine there's no countriesYeah, imagine. Fat chance!
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
