Great afflictions have befallen Gazan Palestinians who refuse to let go of their resentment, hatred and murderous agenda toward Jews. They are, finally, reaping the whirlwind, as do all those who live by the sword. Their collective, never-ending rage against Israel has filled the cup of divine wrath poured out upon them, and refusal to alter their path leads to self-destruction.
We are witnessing today in the Palestinian enclave a reenactment of the biblical narratives and the repercussions awaiting all those who embrace a life of violent rage, in particular against Israel.

Loving others for the glory of God is anathema to them. Bring a proposal that Jews, Christians, Humanists and Muslims can support for the reconstruction of Gaza.
