What a great attempt at sparing innocent lives. So many had already been lost. Today let the leader of Hamas confront Netanyahu and, ideally, determine the outcome some other way than with violence. Let love triumph and a peaceful solution. Let those who started the war end it.

This article describes people brave enough to oppose Hamas, in word and deed, and seek far better solutions than bloodshed and destruction.
