They say that it's the fault of Hamas for firing rockets from civilian buildings. Same old same old. perhaps that is something Hamas is doing, but nothing justifies the purposeful shelling of children. Nothing.
Proud to be a public school teacher for 26 years, I see teaching as a radical act. Practitioner of Neo-schoolmarmism. School Library Media Specialist. I am a convinced Quaker, born again agnostic, mother of 3 daughters, passionate about issues of peace and social justice. My mom was a "red diaper baby", my dad was a conscientious objector during WW2, and I grew up in the thick of anti-war protests in Madison, Wisconsin in the sixties. Not a Republican bone in my body and not many Democratic ones either.

The words for the second one are easy.
War. Crime.
Of course, the very phrase is redundant...
I believe those words apply to both instances. And you're right. "War crimes" is an oxymoron in my mind.
David, it's good to hear from you I have been remiss in not making blog rounds. Blame it on the full time job! Or Facebook.
In answer to your question posed on my blog, no, today I'm not feeling that "we" will ever learn.....
I feel ill - terribly ill.
And very angry.
