This cartoon by Legal Insurrection cartoonist A.F. Branco is titled “Crash of Civilization.”

Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry appears shocked that Hamas violated the ceasefire today.

Who really thought Hamas would honor the cease fire?
Well, other than John Kerry.

Condemn in the strongest possible terms today’s attack in #Gaza – an outrageous violation of ceasefire negotiated over past several days.

#Hamas must immediately & unconditionally release missing Israeli soldier. Call on those w/ influence over Hamas to reinforce this message.
