Peace is important, but there are different types of peace. Most people seek temporal peace, which many times is at the expense of lasting peace (e.g. drugs, sin, fornication, compromise, etc.). They throw out love, truth, and faith, to grasp a fleeting temporal peace, not realizing that it only makes lasting peace more difficult to obtain.

The paradox is that lasting peace must be fought for because everything in the world militates against it. True lasting peace only comes from one place: the Prince of Peace (Jesus Christ). It is His peace that keeps people from seeking the temporal fleeting peace that brings destruction. How can Israel make peace with groups who delegitimize their existence and want to kill them? The answer is you cannot. How can the west make peace with Islam, a religion committed to global totalitarian rule? The answer is it cannot, unless it submits to Allah.

The Bible shows that those who are willing to fight for eternal peace through faith, hope, love, and truth, will find it. But those who seek temporal peace in this world, without fighting, will only find destruction...

1 Thessalonians 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say , Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child * ; and they shall not escape. 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

Political correctness needs to die soon. Or be slaughtered sooner.

An earlier article, linked to by the above article, clarifies what was being talked about.

If Palestinians were throwing rocks or molotov cocktails at passing cars, Israeli soldiers were previously allowed to shoot-to-wound.

Now, they are only allowed to shoot if there is “real danger of loss of life” -- but are expected to figure this out as a split-second decision.

The Leftist calling the shots on these policies will be seen as traitors who are protecting the Muzzies.

After the first couple of IDF soldiers die from this new ROE I will not be surprised if those soldiers start turning on their commanders and then start taking care of the situation properly.

I’m telling you right now that this new ROE isn’t going to last long at all.
