For whatever good it will do, I just e-mailed this to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Israel):

"I am pro Israel. Have been all my life. I understand your response to the recent kidnappings and attacks. But please, in the name of all that is holy, cease fire and allow non combatants to get out of Gaza and Lebanon. World opinion is beginning to see Israel as the terrorist. Please understand, I hate Hezbollah. They are bastards. I think the same of Hamas. I don't want to think the same of Israel. Please allow the people to get out. Cease fire for that length of time. I beg you."

Hope you all have a good evening.
