Servus Iesu said:The only real peace is the Peace of Christ in the Kingdom of Christ. Only when the Jews and the Muslims give up their false religions will their be peace in the Middle East. It is that simple.
Andy Broadley said:Because everyone kows that Christians never go to war against Christians. (Want a list?)
Besides, this war has nothing to do with religion any longer. It is political.

Paladin, my Grammy used to tell me that when isreal converted, that was IT!
But I dont know where she got her info.
The Israeli violence and aggression of this present moment is without proportion or justification.
An Israeli soldier was taken prisoner in combat. A Jewish settler was kidnapped and killed. As a response, Israeli forces destroy three bridges and a power station, causing millions of dollars in damage and leaving up to 750 000 people without electricity or water in Gaza. Moreover, Israeli forces abducted 84 people, among them seven Cabinet Ministers and 21 members of the Palestinian Legislative Council. This comes after a week in which 48 Palestinians were killed, including 27 innocent civilians. The horrific statistic includes nine children and a pregnant woman.
Today, we Christian heads of the Churches in Jerusalem, say: " Events in our land are against law and reason. It is our duty as religious leaders to keepsaying this to the authorities. It is against law and reason that you remain on and you keep us on the ways of death. "The Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no justice. He saw that there was no one, and was appalled that there was no one to intervene. ( Isaiah 59: 16)
We condemn the abduction of the Israeli soldier, the killing of the settler youth, as we condemn the daily abduction and killing of dozens of Palestinians as well as the incarceration of thousands of them in prisons. All human beings, Israelis and Palestinians, have the same dignity and must be treated equally. All violence and aggression against human dignity, whether Israeli or Palestinian must stop.
Our suffering, both Israeli and Palestinian, will end when the truth on both sides is recognized. The right of Israel to have security must be recognized. At the same time, there must be recognition that the core of the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians arises from the deprivation of freedom to the Palestinian people. We firmly support the fight against terrorism, but we remind equally firmly that this fight begins by eradicating the root cause of all violence, which is the deprivation of the freedom of the Palestinian people...

Thank you.Credo said:You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Servus Iesu again.
There is definetly no condemnation of Israel's actions on the part of America from what I have heard on the Beeb.copticorthodoxy said:The Arab media show that the Americans support Isreal , is that right ??
No. Hamas is the government of Palestine. Israel is a different country, Palestine's neighbour.alucardr said:Between Israel and Hamas? Isn't Hamas the (terrorist) government of Israel?

WordofGod said:Isreal was provoked into action by Hamas's first and is continued to be provoked by Hamas and it's supporters. Isreal kept it's agreements but Hamas obviously doesn't keep any agreements but you most likily know that since you live in that part of the world.
What is the Eygptian press reporting about who Eygpt supports?
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Christian Aid, Oxfam International and Save the Children UK fear that escalating violence in Gaza will lead to a humanitarian crisis for over 1.3 million Palestinians.
Without electricity, following the military strike on Gazas sole power station, three key sewage treatments plants are now out of action and over one hundred municipal water wells can no longer operate normally. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The agencies warn of an increasing scarcity of clean water, an increase in water -borne diseases from untreated sewage, and of a health system under extreme stress without stable power supplies.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Action must be taken by both Israel and the Palestinians to stop this deteriorating situation and bring a peaceful end to the crisis. All parties, including the international community, have a responsibility to protect civilians from violence.
The Government of Israel must end its continuing destruction of civilian infrastructure, including electrical generators and water pipelines necessary for survival and immediately restore supplies of food, medicine, electricity, fuel and water as well as opening the Karni crossing for goods.
Palestinian armed groups must stop indiscriminate attacks on Israel that harm civilians, including firing Qassam rockets into Israel. The international community also has a duty under international law to ensure the protection of all civilians.
Adam Leach, regional director from Oxfam said: 'Ordinary Palestinians are suffering from the destruction of bridges, water pipelines and electricity supplies - all things that civilians are entitled to and depend upon. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]'Hundreds of thousands of people are without a regular supply of water. Many of our vital water projects had already been interrupted because of prolonged Israeli restrictions stopping supplies entering Gaza. Peoples basic rights are being denied - this does nothing to secure a just and lasting peace in the region.'[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Mr Leach said: 'The crisis comes as tens of thousands of families in Gaza and the West Bank are struggling to survive without an income because of the suspension of tax payments by the Government of Israel and aid by the international community to the Palestinian Authority.'
Jasmine Whitbread, Chief Executive of Save the Children added: 'In May, Save the Children warned of a rapidly deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza. Today we fear that the situation is sliding towards a humanitarian catastrophe. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]'Children are suffering from acute anxiety and fear from ongoing Israeli military attacks and aerial bombardment. These attacks have also targeted civilian structures, including schools. Families, warned of new incursions, are already preparing to flee from targeted areas. Children as always are most affected.'[/FONT]
