The world has been torn apart by the current war in Gaza. President-elect Barack Obama finally broke his silence on the attacks today, after an Israeli strike killed 30 people who were seeking refuge at a United Nations school. Another 55 were injured in the attack. "The loss of civilian life in Gaza and in Israel is a source of deep concern for me," he said, vowing to search for world peace when he takes the reigns on January 20th. "Starting at the beginning of our administration," he told reporters, "we are going to be engaged effectively and consistently in trying to resolve the conflict in the Middle East."

Everyone in the Obama family is hoping for peace, as his girls Sasha and Malia were recently spotted sporting the peace sign, as noticed by the Huffington Post. It's a small sign of protest, but supporting peace is nothing to shy away from. Sasha even sported a peace-sigh hoodie on her first day of school. Here's hoping Mr. Soon-to-be-President has peace on his mind as he takes a cue from the kids.
