A friend passed along this wonderfully
(un)insightful petition to stop the violence. Note the
firmness of the stand taken in the text:
I support immediate and strong U.S.-led diplomatic efforts to
urgently reinstate a meaningful ceasefire that ends all
military operations, stops the rockets aimed at Israel and
lifts the blockade of Gaza. This is in the best interests of
Israel, the Palestinian people and the United States.
If only diplomats had thought of this before! A petition! To stop
the violence! In fact, if only we could soften the cruel visions
of violence with cute captions, in the style of
ICanHasCheezeburger. Let's give it a shot:
Man. Solving international crises is exhausting. I'm going to go
take a nap.
