I am without words at the horrific attacks on innocent Israelis and peoples by the terrorist group, Hamas.  So many innocent people were slaughtered and kidnapped.  Our own Americans have been slaughtered and at least 20 are being held as hostages.  There are so many people missing, so many parents and families who are hurting because of this brutal attack by these terriorits.
