Killing in the Middle East by Israel has been real to me from days of my youth, growing up with Syrian-American kids at the Greek Orthodox church in Peoria, Ill. I understood more deeply when I later got to know Palestinians who were my fellow parishioners at the Antiochian church in Chicago. But never was the impact greater than when Israeli ships on Memorial Day killed peace activists bringing humanitarian aid to Gaza.
