Em,

I realize you have a side in this fight, but I'm just handicapping it.

My issues go to the larger breakdown of the West in general, with the US piling up another trillion debt every six months and Europe seeming to slide into anarchy.

Personally, coming from the Baltimore area, I'm related to more Jews than I even know Palestinians.

Though there does seem to be a certain queasiness over this whole situation. I recall seeing a fair number of Ukrainian flags in the area, back in 22 and 23, but I just don't see any Israeli flags and find that somewhat surprising.
