Half a million people in London right now. Jewish activists in New York last night. Polls in both countries overwhelmingly support a ceasefire in Gaza. Cannot imagine this level of support even five years ago. Whatever happens, the Palestinians are no longer alone.

When I was a little boy, the Japanese military attacked Pearl Harbor. It was a surprise attack, and thousands of U.S. servicemembers perished. As a nation, we were stunned. And we vowed to strike back. Revenge was understandably on everyone’s mind, including many Americans of Japanese descent

My priest has to regularly remind me that, yes, the fight is important, but I cannot give everything to it.
This poem is for everyone else who could probably do with that reminder too:
"Lord, you have made me
for war, and I have no idea
what to do with the gift
of all I was fighting for."
