I do not know
how it is in your household, but in mine we have developed the practice over
the past nine months of reciting to one another the most appalling of the news
bulletins from Gaza that come our way from a great variety of sources. It is
rather miserable to think life has come to this, reading aloud daily accounts
of atrocities, but there is no turning away from the depths to which terrorist
Israel has dragged the whole of humanity.
