If you are a Lebanese citizen, not affiliated with an organization like Hezbolloah or Hamas, I have nothing but the most heartfelt sympathy for what is happening to your country. Hezbollah must be damaged to the point where they will no longer be an effective entity in Lebanon. Better, still, most of them should leave, and go to Iran or whereever else they will be accepted. There is no reason why Israel and Lebanon cannot be at peace with each other - like Israel and Turkey. Even a cold or luke-warm peace is better than no peace. You might read the open letter to the people of Lebanon I posted on this blog site a few days ago. There are a lot of sites available to express opinions, and you are welcome to write to both the Jerusalem Post and the English version of Haaretz newspaper as well. The JPost letters address is letters@jpost.com and Haaretz is letters@haaretz.co.il Good luck and keep you head down! Dear V John,

I'm looking for Israeli internet blogs and forums through which I can talk to with Israelis on the net. I've read your blogs, but I'd love to go into a discussion, not just comments, so I hope you can guide me throught this. I think it is highly important to communicate with Israelis in the climax of this conflict. Big thanks. Be safe V. John Lebanon Hello;

Today I was blessed with a book entitled "Gift of Life" written by a man named Henri Landwirth. Mr. Landwirth is a holocaust survivor who went on to become Founder of the Give Kids the World Foundation. Quite an amazing story, quite an amazing individual. One of my first thoughts was to send you all a book. Tell me how and when, and I will. That you would end your post with these words…

One thing is certain, God sees things much differently than we do. Maybe because He has power over death and we do not. He has already seen the begining and the end, and we have not. I do believe, one day, we will all understand. For now, we'll just have to trust. I know for myself, when "bad" things have happened to me, they have served to bring me closer to Him. And I pray this will be the case for all those who are suffering loss through this battle. We all are, to one degree or another, they are not weeping alone.
