Of War in Gaza

Living under occupation and not national sovereignty (picture source)


It has been a while since I blogged. Much has happened in our family, our country and elsewhere. Top on my thoughts - the Israeli invasion of Gaza. While think I understand the situation the and the reasons for the attacks, I do not agree to it - violence is never the answer, or response. This action perpetuates the conflicts even further. Lives are lost, suffering a plenty. I personally think that an opportunity to respond with non-violence was lost. It seems that the easy way to resolve problems is by sending in the rockets and guns. Pretty barbaric!

My heart and prayer goes out to the suffering of the Palestinians people. I also read that many Israeli people opposes the war. My prayer goes to them too.

May peace prevail!
