Your chance to help
There is a lot of suffering in the Middle East because of the fighting, with innocent men, women, and children on both sides of the fight being hurt and killed.
One group is raising funds to help:
Canadian and American Jewish federations are raising funds to help move children in Israel's north further south, so that they may be out of range of Hezballah's rockets.
There are local chapters all over the US and Canada taking donations. From the New York chapter:
Every dollar will help send children in the danger zone to summer camps in safer regions of Israel in the south and middle of the country.
Some might ask what help can be provided to the civilians of Lebanon. Until Hezbollah is ejected from the region, I suspect very little, which just compounds the guilt of that terrorist organization. But not being able to help everybody is not an excuse not to help somebody.
So whatever your feelings on who is responsible for the current fighting, I encourage you help relieve at least some of the suffering.

i got an idea...why not ejecting those motherfucking Israelis' into a pot of boiling oil. Or an oven like the olden days. That way, there will be no turmoil in the Middle East. Simple.

Sadly it isn't wise to send any type of aid to a country harbouring terrorists. It's bewildering and sickening to hear opposition to Israel in this conflict coming from the loopy left but it's predictable. We have a serious problem when people in our country, let alone MP's are on side with the terrorist Hezbollah faction in Lebanon against the democratic state of Israel trying to defend itself from constant attacks. Our Prime Minister is right on this one and he is being torn down by the same band of blocked off bird brains. Adam Daifallah, careful there, your playing into their hands.

How about we collect to send Jack, Alexa and the bunch over to the war zone on a peace-keeping, love-in, group hug-fest mission,that should about do it, peace and love in the middle east forever. Simple minds, simple solution.
