you probably already know this, but...
Why do we borrow money and give it to countries that don't need it?
So I don't claim to know who the Incontiguous Brick is, but he makes a good point. I was at wordpress.com this morning to publish some of our intern blogs and found this article staring me in the face. I thought you should all read it too.
Don't bother with the comments, they'll just get you angry, but the blog itself raises some really Good Questions as to why we (the USA in general and US Taxpayers in particular) send so much freaking money to Israel to support their habit of blowing up homes of Palestinians - most of whom are innocent and many of whom have more history in the land than do the soldiers who are forcing them from their beds and homes.
Here's a prayer request I received this morning from a student at the Bethlehem Bible College. He was here a year ago with the choir and they sang in our office. One of my colleagues has kept in contact with him:

i was going home from the bible college and there was Israeli soldiers and lots of Jeeps provented me to go in the way of my home, so one person asked me to stay there for a while, until this israeli attack finish ...
so am here now for almost 2 hours hearing shooting and bombs all over AND I WAS TRYING TO CALL HOME (few) AND THERE WAS NO ANSWER !!!!!!!!!!!!!
in the end my mom called me and told me that ....... many Israeli armed soldiers entered our home and THEY PUT ALL MY FAMILY IN ONE ROOM AND THEY TOOK THE WHOLE HOUSE UNTIL THEY WILL DESTROY A HOUSE NEXT TO ME ...
so at this moment one or more family will have no home in this very cold weather or shelter and my family and me don't know when this thing going to finish ...

I LOVE YOU ALL AND LETS TRUST GOD FOR A MIRACLE
