Flotilla Thoughts...

I am troubled by the proliferation of (facebook) postings of Fox News clips from people I know consider Fox News to be something short of journalism. My friends we must ask ourselves some tough questions. Fox comes at every issue from the same point, they don't change. We have to ask ourselves, why do we only agree with Fox when it comes to Israel? How could it be that they get everything else wrong, but get this one right. Or maybe we are not viewing Israel with the same eyes we use to see the rest of the world...

Do we hold our own to a different standard than we hold the rest of the world? I mean, if Fox is right about Israel maybe they are right about America? Right about Iraq? This is the network of Hannity and Beck people, don't forget that. And if you, as I, find yourselves nodding in agreement with either of those two...get up and walk to the closest mirror and look deeply into your own eyes, into your own soul. Are you still being true to yourself? To your beliefs? To your people?

Sending love and prayers to all those around the world who are feeling such pain over this incident. May this be a restful and healing Shabbat.
