Israeli 'pause' of Gaza attacks woefully inadequate.

Israeli 'pause' of Gaza attacks woefully inadequate. Why are we still waiting for cease-fire?

Perhaps beyond the excruciating pain of this moment, we can pray for healing, opening up space for the courage to challenge our communities to live up to a vision of justice, mercy, equity and peace.

Thursday’s White House announcement of daily four-hour "pauses” of Israeli attacks in light of the carnage and destruction Gazans have endured over the past month is woefully inadequate given the magnitude of the devastation.

The bombing campaign has led United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to declare that the Gaza Strip, one of the most impoverished and densely concentrated open-air prisons in the world, is now becoming “a graveyard for children.”

Unlike other horrific spaces of suffering right now such as Sudan, Congo and Ethiopia, it is U.S. weapons and U.S. money bankrolling Israel's war machine with billions of dollars annually. Yet when President Joe Biden was asked Thursday what the chances of a cease-fire were, he answered, “None.”
