The hippies don't care anymore

Right now, sitting in my room in front of my computer, I hear overhead helicopters. Since I live a few kilometers from the Gaza strip, I often hear Israeli air force flying objects on their way to and from Gaza. Usually I don't pay much attention. Usually, I don't know exactly why they're there. This time I do.

The IDF went into Gaza last night in order to uncover and destroy rocket workshops. On the way out, one of their APCs (armored personnel carrier) was bombed, 6 soldiers were killed. Several Hamas people were killed and, naturally, innocent bystanders were hurt.
Now the Israelis are concerned about the soldiers' body parts. They really wouldn't wanna have to negotiate with Hamas right now.

In all this, people who were against Sharon's Gaza withdrawal plan claim that what happened today just goes to show they were right. People who supported the plan, naturally, same the exact same thing.

Over a dozen young people died today in Gaza and everyone wants a piece of it for their PR. They'll all get it too. Until the next time people die, today will be absolute proof that the Hamas, PLO, Sharon, Arafat, yesha and everyone else, left and right, peace and war, everyone's right.

And in the mean time, the Palestinian people are getting more and more desperate and the Israeli people are going more and more numb.
Even the hippies don't care anymore.
