#3 I'm hoping Jesse will personally go to try to bring about a ceasefire. If you do go Jesse, I don't think there is such a thing as "friendly fire" over there. It's all unfriendly.

#4 Actually, I think the leaders have told their followers to cease fire already. It didn't work. Jesse will probably have even less effect.

Oops, I mean your mouth. Sorry, get them confused.

#6 I agree JohnQC. Jesse should open a Rainbow PUSH office in Gaza and stay there until everybody gets along. As a man of peace, there is no doubt he will help those well meaning Paleo victims find their better angels.

Of course, if this plan doesn't work out and he gets kidnapped or shot, that would be positive in a different way: it would make me chuckle.

#7 It's not gonna work Jesse. You've got to be on the ground in Gaza to have any meaningful effect.

Good luck and ....

#8 Hey, we all know that fundamentalist Muslims are gonna listen to whatever a black Christian says. Send him over there to negotiate a settlement right now!

#9 This must be Jesse's way of doing pro bono work; I figure his usual shakedown schtick in this situation's like getting blood from a rock.
