Dear Editor;
I would like to comment on your May
29th, "Suicide Bomber in Isreal.” This young man called his mother to
say farewell, and this is what she said, " O son, I hope your operation
will succeed." Her husband added, " . . . I wished he had
carried a nuclear bomb." This is the mentality of literally
thousands among the Palestinians toward Israel. How can peace be
possible with hatred like this in the hearts of people? Peace is
associated with love and good will toward others.
It is most unprofitable to
talk about a peace summit with this hatred existing toward
others. The only solution to the problem is to change the hearts
of people toward one another. This is something that man has
utterly failed to do in the course of history.
The Bible is clear that there
is " . . . no peace to the wicked" Isaiah 57:21. Man
at his best does not know peace. "And the way of peace have they
not known" Romans 3:17
Jesus has made peace for us
through the blood of the cross. "And, having made peace
through the blood of his cross," Colossians 1:20 If Jews or
Gentiles would trust Christ as their Saviour then they would have peace
with God and one another. "Therefore being justified by faith, we
have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" Romans 5:1
Submitted respectfully,
Harold Smith
