When I saw this dead 3 year old little Palestinian girl, I asked myself why? 

The answer is probably complex and goes way back to the days when the Israelian's left Egypt, possibly during the second intermediate period (1650 - 1550  BC). Palestinians and Israelis have a very similar history, and after thousands of years Israel was given to the Israelis by UN 1947. On 14 May 1948 David Ben-Gurion, the Executive Head of the World Zionist Organization and president of the Jewish Agency for Palestinedeclared "the establishment of a Jewish state in Eretz Israel, to be known as the State of Israel"

Today Israel attack ships on international water, and more or less on a daily basis kill children in Gaza or the West Bank without any particular objections from UN. Most of these children never make any head lines. Sadly of course, a few Israelis are killed too, and most of them will make the head lines.

These statistics about numbers of dead children does speak on it's own. For every Israelian child, 11 Palestinians are killed.


From a spiritual perspective things will be resolved. It is unfortunately very clear that something very bad will happen in the Middle East before we can finally see peace. The combination of Israel, Iran, the Arab world, and foreign politics, will make sure that millions of people are going to die before all this is over. 

We all need to pray for all these children killed every day, whether it's Syria, Israel or Palestine. To create love and forgiveness in this environment is going to be extremely demanding.
