Monday, March 22, 2004 Israel in FearNormally, CNN news in the mornings is terribly boring; re-runs after re-runs of old or inconsequential news. This morning, I awoke to the rather significant news of the Israeli assassination of the Hamas leader, Sheik Yassin, killed leaving a mosque at dawn in his wheelchair in Gaza.All the interviews since have warned of impending terror on Israelis (eg. one moderate Palestinian peace-negotiator says 'violence breeds violence; bullets breed bullets' - too true). I'm just wondering how the average Israeli feels right now, knowing it's coming, and waiting not knowing where, who will be affected, not enjoying the peace and certainty we have come to expect in our daily lives. While I'm in general a supporter of Israel and it's causes, I don't like such state-sanctioned assassinations (state-terror?!), neither by Israelis, Yanks nor by Australia as we go about our current government's role as lickspittle to the US. The only comfort in all this is the confidence that it's all working out as sovereign God wants it to. BTW, can anyone point me to where in the bible there's the prophecy that both kingdoms of Israel (Israel , the northern kingdom, and Judah the two tribes that split off in the south) will one day be re-united? I think it may be in Isaiah. Gary, David??? # posted by geoff @ 5:27 pm 0 comments
