Friday the Thirteenth

Thank goodness Hamas has mostly small katyusha rockets. In Gaza, Israel says that they (Israel) are using precision guided bombs. Problem is that the precision guided bombs they use are humongous. Using bombs that large in residential neighborhoods indicates a total disregard for civilian life. Both sides are intentionally attacking civilians. One side is much more capable at it. Peace be upon us. All of us.
