Israel, Lebanon, and the Questions of the Day
The United States and numerous other countries are calling for “a 21-day ceasefire along the Israel-Lebanon border.”
Ceasefire wishes are always understandable. Peaceful people desire peace both at home and abroad. We see the press coverage of flattened houses, shattered apartment buildings, and emergency responders treating crying families. Our hearts go out to them.
We long for a peaceful world.
But this is a political issue; we cannot give in to the temptation to think with our hearts. We must think with our heads.
