Why has the church been virtually silent about the suffering of our brethren?” [...] Two ships are current headed for the Gaza Strip and the Israeli government is prepared to stop them. [...] The Shalit case represents the classic struggle between heart and mind. Israel can expect to pay a terrible price for this exchange given that the deal to free Gilad Shalit involves reducing the life sentences of two hundred and eighty mass murderers responsible for hundreds of Israeli deaths. [...] Essentially all of the evidence so far seems to indicate that they don't. [...] Why is the U.S. government interfering in Glenn Beck's rally in Jerusalem, telling Americans not to attend it?
