Say some prayers for Israel and the acts of war that surround them … the Gaza Strip and Palastinian Territories in the south and the Lebananon conflict in the north.
Today some Lebaneese rockets struck Haifa …
The attack came soon after two rockets struck the northern Israeli port of Haifa on a day of spiraling violence and deepening crisis.
Israel Defense Forces said the Haifa rockets came from Lebanon and blamed the strike on Hezbollah, whose guerrillas triggered the violence when they attacked inside Israel on Wednesday, killing eight Israeli soldiers and capturing two more.
Of course, this blast comes after the Israeli Defense Force bombed Beirut International Airport.
I do not believe that the fighting on either side is correct nor beneficial, and if pressed to choose a side, I would most deffinitly side with the Israelies. However, this is hard to watch. The news of rockets bombing Haifa made me sick to my stomach. As many of you know, just two months ago I spent quite a bit of time in Israel, and a good chunk amount of that time in Haifa. I have a friend there, and I also have made many more friends and met even more beautiful people in that city.
I am sure that the people who have deep connections with Lebanon and the city of Beirut feel no differently.
Either way, this is truly a sad and sickening thing to watch. Be on your knees and pray, pray you Jews, Christians, Muslims. Pray and work towards peace to your neighbor you Bah’ai followers, Kaballahist Jews, and Wiccans.
Maybe it is written that Israel will never see peace again.
