Israel and Palestinian Cease Fire

The land of Israel is a turbulent one.  The Palestinians in Gaza have a much different take on the future of Jerusalem and the entire region than does the Israelis.  At least this is true for the Hamas which has taken control of the Palestinian authority.  How else should the Jewish land of Israel react to decades of threats and violence?

We can argue Middle East history till dawn and beyond but what cannot be disputed is the fact that the Jewish people have been under constant threat of annihilation for thousands of years.  It is true that the nations have converged against Israel.  If you were a trapped animal wouldn't your survival instincts take over?  It's the same here only the Israeli people still put their faith in that Higher Power to sustain them and to justify them in the end.

There is a point of "enough is enough" and the pursuit of engaging the enemy must and should progress till the end.  In any conflict there will be innocent casualties.  HOWEVER, let us not forget which side uses their own people as shields not only to protect their own weapons but also to gain global sympathy.  Let's not forget that as the world readily condemns Israel for the massive amounts of innocent dead.  Let us not forget!

Being of the tribe of Manasseh I am proud to have the association of Israel.  The Palestinian people are blessed as well but the world needs to understand that we all have the right to survive as long as we covenant to coexist in peace.  Being all our planet, those who cannot sustain the foundation of coexistence should be suppressed in their expansion of terrorism and moral decay.

The Hamas tunnels are an imminent threat toward Israel.  The operation of Israel's offensive is to render mute these tunnels.  It is my belief that Israel has the right, and obligation to it's people, to expand their offensive until the mission is declared finished.

I am all for the cease fires that have and continue to take place.  It should be used by both sides as an opportunity to reflect on the right course of action not for the present but rather for the long term.  It is to bury the dead with dignity and tend to the lame and infirm.  It is to assess the future of both peoples.  Will the cease fire hold in the end.  Probably not any time soon.  The religious extreme and anti-Semitism is strong and has a foundation on many people.  To learn to coexist is to have a personal conversion to a light they've never known.

Hoorah Israel is my take, but hoorah true peace is my hope and prayer.
