Dawn Eden posts a clip from an Israeli blogger with some of her own comments, with which I agree: View from Israel.
What I find interesting is the blogger's observation:
I know I may upset some people by what I am going to write. But it seems the history of Popes to call for prayers for peace is only when Israel strikes back. Where were the calls for peace and pressure on the Palestinians for the last 11 months as they fired rockets out of Gaza.

It's only to be expected that the Holy Father would call for redoubled prayer and penance for peace when the continuing problems in the Middle East grow in magnitude and danger. The Pope called for prayer and penance after 9/11, and he called for prayer and penance when we attacked the Taliban, and he called for prayer and penance when we went to war against Saddam Hussein. That Israeli blogger is naturally a little biased and a but provincial in perspective, and not quite up to speed on how the Holy See has responded to these kinds of crises in the past.
