What has been reported as thousands of Palestine people conducted a march along the border with Israel. Israeli soldiers opened fire on them. 16 people have been reported as killed. Many have been reported as injured. The list of dead and injured may change. Please pray or keep in your positive thoughts the victims, their families and friends.
A long history of animosity lies between these two groups of people. The only ones suffering are the youth who see, hear, and feel the pain in their heart. This perpetuates the animosity. Fault lies on both sides of the line.
Somebody has to be the bigger person and stand up. I mean stand up and say enough. Do what faith practice requires and forgive. Try to get the other party to the peace table. If that fails, appeal to the United Nations. News articles show numerous countries are offering to broker peace talks.
It may or may not work. No more will die than what is happening now. Somebody needs to think of others first.
