This is a New York Times press photo of Rafa residents in the Israeli occupied Gaza Strip onto which I've embroidered silk rainbows highlighting the boys. When we fail to see the humanity in each other we lay the ground for mass atrocities. This past year and more has been sickening. What was done to innocent Israelis was a horrific tragedy committed by Hamas terrorists. Remaining hostages must be returned. It is horrendous when terrorists commit acts of terror. That does not make state sanctioned terror, mass indiscriminate killing of innocent civilians, the withholding of aid and medicine and bombing of hospitals and schools in any way forgivable. Israel's disproportionate retaliation on an entire captive populace makes it a terroritst state. Netanyahu will surely go down in history as a war criminal. I hope that Israel can rise up and reject him and all that stand with him and work towards peace and a two state solution.
