The Middle East

Posted at 2:02 PM, Tuesday, August 22, 2006

Lately the top news on CNN has been the Israel and Lebanon conflict. Most news channels are focusing on that war. Many lives have been lost, and soo much destroyed. Poeple end up pointing fingers at each other, but they never realize that it all started because of something either one or both of each side did. The recent events in the middle east were quite disturbing....Pray to God there will be peace and that His will be done. It's sad to see people dying like this. I hate wars, but I know that sometimes a country is left with no other choice. I don't wish to justify anyone that goes to war, it's only God that knows our thoughts, and only Jesus who will judge us in the end. But I can't help feeling sorry for those who get involved in these disastrous conflicts. Yet I know that Jesus loves them and cares for everyone more than I or anyone ever could. I thought about writing an entry on the events in the middle east, and just before I started, I read this entry from one of the AU blogs in Washington DC. This student also writes about the Israel-Lebanon conflict. I guess you could go check out his blog. http://admissions.american.edu/public/contentPage/contentPage.asp?navID=17&parId=2944&docID=2824

However, I did realize something from these events, the media never tells the whole story. I was watching CBN and TBN last weekend and I heard news that CNN and other major channels had left-out. I mean I don't know why the media always chooses (or prefers rather) to leave out certian information. In the Israel and Lebanon war for example, it was not made clear that the war started because of the hezbollah firing rockets into Israel (I didn't know how to spell hezbollah, got it off Kay's blog). Israel didn't just start war for no reason, they were trying to defend themselves. Of course wars are never good and I pray they never happen, but I know that God's will is the best. Thank God Israel withdrew, now there might be peace. I do know that almost everyone has a problem with Israel, and that's why they try to harm the Israeli people. It's been happening ever since God bought Israel up out of Egypt lead by Moses. As for me, I totally love the Israelites. I feel they are very special and I just love them all a lot. I just wish everyone would live peacefully, but I guess that won't be till this earth passes away. Anyway, I don't know the whole truth about the recent events in the middle-east, but I can say that what the media portrays is only half of it (mostly biased). I do believe that in the end the truth will be revealed to us, at judgment that is.

There's an American univeristy in the middle east, hope all is well there. And BTW, I know this entry is completely off AAUN, but thought I'd just add it, afterall, these events are talked of everywhere.

War is not the answer, I just wish everyone could understand that. Of course not everyone knows the truth so not everyone can understand that, but may the Lord Jesus reveal the truth to to us all. I know my saying this will upset or anger many of you reading this entry, but I know the Lord I serve, and I believe in him. I'm not ashamed of saying this and I never will be, because I know who I have to answer to in the end..... I can look stupid before men, but not before God.

The Middle East

I pity the State of Israel period. Israel is in a geographical location where 98% of her neighbor want to annihilate her from the universe and the remaining 2% are tacitly friendly to her. On wander hoe she managed to survived all this years in that neighborhood. That is easy to know. She has a backing of one powerful entity that no human-being can go against - God.

You mentioned CNN in your write up. Do you know that there are two version of CNN? The CNN we watch here in U.S and CNN International. The CNN International and the BBC waged public opinion war with Israel while she fought the physical war with the terrorist. Why do Nations always cry foul when Israel defended herself from attack? This past war in Lebanon, Israel should not be blame at all. The government of Lebanon should wake up and see that Iran and Syria using them as a test field for their own political agenda. At home, they failed their citizens and to divert attention from that problem, pick a fight with Israel ti weep up the Arab and muslim sentiments. That is the Game of the Day in the Middle East.
