Shadesofgrey: This is exactly why I posted this article. I'm trying to bring a better understanding to the Palestinian cause and yes, even sympathy. When one doesn't thoroughly understand both sides of the issue, one cannot very well discern what is going on or what should happen.
I pray for the peace of Jerusalem, which in turn means Israel (but also the many groups who lay claim to the holy city) ... and I do pray the country makes wise decisions with its military, government, et cetera. I don't think this exactly corners all my human sympathy to Israel only. I truly ache with deep pain in my heart when I see the photos of children, families, the elderly who are tormented by this on-going feud -- from both sides. I sympathize with the war-torn and ravaged on both sides as they are equally human. I pray for the poor and the ones in need of God's strength, healing, and intervention without favorites. Maybe that claifies your worries about my prayer life. I'm sorry if I was too vague on that.
I do greatly sympathize with these people; otherwise, I'd not have posted their viewpoints on my blog. I also greatly recommend seeing the photos on this site. If you wish to support the man, Mohammed, who takes these photos, often risking his life, please go to his site and email him, telling him you'd be glad to do so. It would be a worth-while cause.
