Where are the shepherds? Where is the wisdom? From Bill Bonner at bonnerprivateresearch.com:
Old Testament justice and mass murder in the Holy Land…

Homo homini lupus est.
~ Latin proverb: man is a wolf to man
Last week, all of a sudden, explosions…gunfire…bodies…mayhem – and as the dust settled, there was Truth, blindingly obvious…yet, still shocking. Truth about the past…and a warning about the future.
Stephen Pinker famously argues that we are all becoming lambs now. But now the wolf is back…snarling; and what big white teeth he has. All the world startled awake last week. Yes, it was an old-fashioned eye for an eye…mass murder in the Holy Land. Hamas attacked Israel. Israel retaliated. Now, with the whole world on edge, the Israeli Defense Forces are preparing what threatens to be a massacre…ethnic cleansing… genocide. We don’t know exactly what is happening because the Israelis cut off food, water and electricity to Gaza. Nothing gets in. But no information comes out, either.
We are also watching ‘the West’ handle a major foreign policy problem. Pay attention, because this is how it will handle its major domestic challenge (debt) too.
