Peace is not the absence of conflict but the ability to cope with conflict by peaceful means.
Ronald Reagan

As people of faith it becomes us to cling to compassion for the victims of war by honoring our principles and praying for peace. This is no time for judgement. We don't have the solutions. We need only to pray and do deeds of loving kindness for as many people as we can, within our reach. May God bless the victims, the peacemakers, and may God bless us all.

Dear God, protect the innocent victims who have been betrayed by their leaders. The cruel and vicious men who plotted against their own people, to put them in harm's way, to starve them, and to forsake them for personal gain and glory. May all Your children soon live together in peace and harmony, safety and security in the holy land of Your
promise.

for the israelis

Dear God, their grief is mixed with joy. They mourn the dead and celebrate the living. The people speak in a somber tone, mingled with hope for the future. O, Israel, so complex, yet so simple. Only to fulfill Your commandment. May they always serve You in the holy land of Your promise.

for the palestinians

Dear God, protect the innocent victims who have been betrayed by their leaders. The cruel and vicious men who plotted against their own people, to put them in harm's way, to starve them, and to forsake them for personal gain and glory. May all Your children soon live together in peace and harmony, safety and security in the holy land of Your promise.
