The world watched silently as sobbing Jews were dragged from their homes, schools and even more disturbing, their synagogues simply because they were Jews.
The contrasts were vivid: Terrified children, with no understanding of the upheaval in their lives, clinging to distraught parents. Elderly Jews shuffling toward an unknown future...facing certain death at the hands of the enemy.
Now, the Quartet is issuing demands for even more concessions on Israel’s part, more upheavals, more land for peace, a tactic that has yet to work in Israel’s favor, and stop the terrorists’ attacks. Have we not learned anything from the years of demanding that Israel sacrifice every more of their tiny land mass to appease the terrorists that surround them?
Weeping men tear their garments in anguish as a Jewish ritual of mourning. Rabbis clutch their prayer shawls and pray for a miracle. Many professing Christians stand silently by, heads turned away, eyes and ears closed to the tragedy that is about to unfold before them.
The pictures are endless, the pain unendurable, the loss faced by those who will be uprooted incalculable, the scars permanent.
A picture of King David in II Samuel 15:30 is especially poignant today: “David walked up the road that led to the Mount of Olives, weeping as he went. His head was covered and his feet were bare as a sign of mourning. And the people who were with him covered their heads and wept as they climbed the mountain.” (II Samuel 15:30)
“I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curses thee.” (Genesis 12:3)
Please bless the Jewish people today.
Thank you,
