Ths situation rightly continues to occupy my daily prayers. The cynic within me thinks of the timing of this conflict. Both sides are guilty of violence and terror and it is the innocent in the middle that so often pays the heavy price.
What ever provoked Israel, the retaliation meted out is extreme. The US has been silent on its call for restraint amid the readiness for a change over of power in Captiol Hill. Are we witnessing the last minute dash for time and violence before the change over takes palce and perhaps a more intollerant attitude to revenge takes charge at the Whitehouse?
My prayer is that the US will take a more peaceful route and more condemnatory stance over its influence of Israeli 'foreign' policy.
sorry mate - not totally relevant to this post! but if you go to www.trinity-media.org.uk it has the five sessions Eddie Gibbs did last week - mp3s and slides!!
