This is from a post at Jeffrey Goldberg’s blog called “Why I’m Not Blogging More About Gaza.” So the words aren’t mine. I’ve merely put them into nice little verses.

Why I’m Not Blogging More About Gaza

Gaza has overdetermined

me into paralysis.

I actually feel too close to

this problem,

a problem

that symbolizes

all problems.

It’s true: I have friends in Gaza

about whom I worry a great deal;

I’ve seen many people killed in Gaza;

I’ve served in the Israeli Army in Gaza;

I’ve been kidnapped in Gaza;

I’ve reported for years from Gaza;

I hope my former army doesn’t kill the wrong people in Gaza;

I hope Israeli soldiers all leave Gaza alive;

I know they’ll be back in Gaza;

I think this operation will work;

and I have no actual hope that it will work

for very long, because nothing works

for very long in the Middle East.

Gaza is where dreams

of reconciliation go to die.

Gaza is where the dream

of Palestinian statehood

goes to die;

Gaza is where the Zionist dream

might yet die. Or,

more to the point,

might be murdered.

I’m not a J Street moral-equivalence sort of guy.

Yes, Israel makes constant

mistakes, which I note rather frequently,

but this conflict reminds me once again that

Israel is up against an implacable force, namely,

an interpretation of Islam that disallows the

idea

of Jewish national equality.

My paralysis isn’t

an analytical paralysis.

It’s the paralysis

that comes from thinking

that maybe there’s no way out.

Not out of Gaza, out of

the whole thing.

The “Center for Reclaiming America for Christ” has shuttered its ‘mo hatin windows this week after laying off a whole bunch of Anti-Gay Army of Christ Soldiers employees.

From the Orlando Sentinel:

The offshoot of Coral Ridge Ministries laid off an undisclosed number of workers Thursday at its headquarters here and at an office in Washington in what was called “streamlining.”

“We’re getting back to our core competency, the production of media,” said Brian Fisher, executive vice president at Coral Ridge, which was founded by the Rev. D. James Kennedy. “Our heart and soul is the teaching of Dr. Kennedy, and getting it to more people than those who come to church.”

Oh the teachings of D. James Kennedy! So why wasn’t the organization called “Center for Reclaiming America for Dr. Kennedy (no relation to Ted)”?
