Gaza War: "Life must go on..."


If you haven't seen it, check out this blog called "Life must go on in Gaza and Sderot."

It's written by two men, one called "Hope Man" who lives in the Israeli town of Sderot, just east of the border with the Gaza Strip. The other, "Peace Man," lives in Gaza City.

They started their blog as electronic acquaintances wanting to provide 2 sides of the story of their perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Sderot is the town in greatest danger of being struck by Hamas' homemade missiles, and Gaza is, well, Gaza.

Obviously this blog has gotten even more insightful in the past week or so.
