Rebecca's Rules - some one has to be the "big guy" in Gaza

Raining down rockets and bombs on each other cannot bring justice or mercy for anyone. Both sides need peace. Both sides should just take a step back and say - we want peace now!

A friend of mine told me about all the fights she and her sister had while growing up. Even as their mother lay dying in her last few weeks, neither would visit their mother at the same time. The mother's (Rebeca) advice: Marcella don't keep score, someone has to be the big guy and apologize even if it's not your fault. So Marcella apologized to her sister and the two of them were then able to spend the last week of their mother's life all together.

So, to both sides: someone has to be the big guy and stop your violence, apologize and say let's talk - OK. Otherwise people just keep dying because you can't be the "big guy."
