his toes were covered in a white fungus and his toenails were thick. I tried to jab him off. My hips ached in the seat and Illa's head was heavy on my shoulder. But it wasn't a gun. I'd dissolve on and off trying to breathe steady and not give into sobbing for fear of waking her. Her loss was radiating down my arm. I could only breathe and wait for the sun. My eyes were raw and sticky. I thought about taking the Valium but i didn't want to miss seeing the light change. And it was all yellow.

This week there have been 1500 Israeli strikes in Gaza and Palestine launched 1400 missiles. Long range missiles were fired into Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. There was a bus bomb. Most of the deaths on both sides were civilian. The ceasefire deal was mediated by Egypt and included a promise to end hostilities, relax border crossings and end the Gaza Blockades. Jerusalem and her borders, the right of return for Palestinian refugees are far from resolved but for now after 8 days of bombing, as dawn breaks the fishermen of Gaza anchor on the horizon and recast their nets upon the sea.
