In light of all the recent BS going on in the Middle East, I gave pause as I read Ezekiel 13.
10 " 'Because they lead my people astray, saying, "Peace," when there is no peace, and because, when a flimsy wall is built, they cover it with whitewash, 11 therefore tell those who cover it with whitewash that it is going to fall. Rain will come in torrents, and I will send hailstones hurtling down, and violent winds will burst forth. 12 When the wall collapses, will people not ask you, "Where is the whitewash you covered it with?"
Sometimes, peace is an illusion.
What good is there to have a temporary cessation of hostilities, some fragile accord between groups, some illustrious "road map" when the underlying problem, the very CONFLICT of minds and souls that causes the physical violence is itself ignored?
So what if a gun isn't fired today? So what if for a few weeks no children die from Palestinian bombs.
If you do not address the actual conflict, you are whitewashing the problem!
