:'(

i can't stop crying. i just cry and cry. i cry going to bed, and i cry in the car on my way to work, and i even lock myself in the bathroom and cry AT work. i shake. my hands literally shake. i need to stop being so emotional about this.

on leaflets passed out to civilians in lebanon, israel says: "Because of terrorist acts against the state of Israel which come from your villages, the Israeli Army must respond to these attacks. For your security, you must leave your villages immediately. Signed, The State of Israel. In the coastal town of Tyre, residents say they they've received similar warnings in the form of phone calls with a recorded message in Arabic ordering them to flee. But yesterday, on the outskirts of Tyre, Israeli aircraft bombed three carloads of Lebanese families who were all trying to do just that." -NPR

and thus, i cry again.
