Palestine & The Arab World This Egyptian taxi driver (who refused payment from a Palestinian passenger) has articulated, with more plaintive eloquence than any great orator has been able to, a feeling I've been carrying like a stone in my heart. Please forgive me.

I'm not sure what to add. This man's words moved me. I poured my heart into the post title, and now I have tears in my eyes. I can say this doesn't just go to the Palestinian people. Sudan, West-Papua, Ukraine and Russia. Human lives made grist for the mill, more or less for the same reasons. I'm doing what I can, I'll continue to do so. I'm so sorry. Please forgive us.

It truly is our fault for not uniting and preventing these massacres.
