Independence Day

Today Palestinians celebrate Independence Day - even though they have no independent state. The streets are packed with Palestinians, and so with the Israeli soldiers. Last night fireworks were fired but only a short while. Gaza has run out of food but they still keep bombing missiles into Israel for the 2nd or 3rd day running. http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1226404732385&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull This only causes the checkpoint to be closed and no food can enter Gaza. The checkpoint in Nablus is also closed so we cannot help buy fuel for the orphanage inside. There must be a way. God cannot be blind to such suffering.
