I recently made a few comments on my Twitter feed regarding the Israel – Gaza conflict which I’ve consolidated below for your reference.

Regarding Israel and Gaza: Part 1 1-Israel has "a right to defend itself from rocket attacks that terrorize its people." (I agree w/ Obama)

The kindest thing one can do for the people of Gaza is remove Godless leadership (btw…that is true everywhere, even 'round these parts)
