Palestinian sources: 154 dead. Over 270 wounded. Thousands are panicked.
Over here: nonstop shooting, one dead, few woundeds. Thousands are within shelters. Demonstrations against Israeli aggression began within Israel. The moment they'll become demonstrations against violence on both sides, I'm there, but for now, it's hypocrisy and ignoring the last 8 years on the Israeli side with nonstop shooting.
Egypt: layered its border with Gaza with machine guns, in case Palestinians tries to escape there.
My place: trying to understand wtf my sis won't wear flak jacket, I'm having divine hyssop cookies, and waiting for the muffins I've baked to come out of the oven. I can't believe how little this attack actually has to do with my plans tonight.
Oh, wait. I almost forgot to tell: they called this operation "cast(ed?) lead". It's taken from a Hanukkah song. I'm gobsmacked.
OK, I'll be out in 30 minutes from my parents back to Jerusalem (hopefully the peace would last there and there won't be lots of riots).
For further updates in English from here I recommend this, this, this and if it'll be updated, this.
I hear they're recruiting reserves, but it's mostly unconfirmed. I'm on that list, with extremely low chances of being called: they didn't call me the last war, and nobody said it's war yet.
Peace, Bitches.
Raq, I'm glad to hear about your aunt!
{{{{{{Shir}}}}}}} and {{{{{{Shir's Family}}}}}}}
So very much this.
Oh Shir, I'm just sick about this. All the ~ma in the world to you and your family, and everyone around. Ugh.
Oh, Shir. Please stay safe. All the ~ma to you.
Prayers for you and your area, Shir. Thanks for the updates and links.
Shir thoughts are with you.
Oh Shir.
So ugly, when we've all been hoping and praying for peace.
{{{{{Shir&family}}}}
{{Shir and family}} May more thoughtful and peace-minded people prevail in your current troubles. (Could I get more alliterative?) Stay safe.
That's great news, Raq! May the Buffista~ma keep bringing good things to people. After all, it's the least that 2008 owes us.
This weather is killing me. I've had an unproductive asthmatic cough for weeks now and this morning I woke up with a sinus headache. Winter can end anytime soon, I think.
