Gaza and despairing of peace

This is the Sojourners "Quote of the Week":

The darkness has fallen and invaded all of the Gaza Strip. We tried to protest against the war today, but gunmen shot at us when we tried to cross the street. This was a peaceful demonstration to try to get these gunmen to stop killing our future, to stop killing our hope. The darkness has fallen. There are no other words. Gaza is not a place for human beings anymore.

- Hossam al-Madhoun, lifelong Gaza resident
