Only love can stop

1) This morning, I opened my web browser and typed cnn.com. When I reached the website, I read this headline,"Girl killed, 49 burned after Israeli shelling". I knew this is an expected headline. 

2) The conflicts and war between Israel and Gaza is no secret. All major newspaper and websites put the news about the war as their headlines.
3) Meanwhile, thousands of demonstrators marched through London, England to protest Israel's ongoing attacks on Gaza.
4) War starts because both sides hate each other. Israeli hate people in Gaza and vice versa.

5) I remembered one buddhist told me that only love can stop hate. Hate itself can't stop hate.

6) Although I am not a Christian, I knew Jesus Christ once said,"Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you."

7) If everyone in the world can love their enemy, I believe there will be no war and conflicts anymore.

    i think that the only way to stop this conflict between Israel and Gaza is that both sides have to cease fire ...

    Now, the world is keep asking the Israel to stop attacking the Palestin.

    But I keep asking myself bout why nobody ask Palestin to cease fire ? Why no one blame both sides for starting this war ?

    Although the Palestins may defend themselves that they only attack the Jewish by using some old and useless RPG from the Soviet Union era and the Israel counter back with those high tech weapons, they are wrong in the first place. They started attack the Israel first.

    There is a Malay proverbs says that "bertepuk sebelah tangan tidak akan berbunyi" describe the condition perfectly.

    #6. is absolutely correct. Did you know that this war has gone on for thousands of years and it will continue until the end of time as we know it. Jesus is going to return to earth and then everything will be settled once and for all. Israel should have never given up Gaza in the first place. They knew this would happen and they would be attacked and they are. The Palestinians destroyed what would have been a wonderful living for them if they had not destroyed everything in Gaza.
