Recently there has been the terrible news that four Israelis in Tel Aviv have been murdered in a terrorist shooting rampage. Two suspects have been arrested. This is a terrible crime. It is most terrible to murder civilians like this.
Although the suspects have been apprehended it is, alas, certain that similar terrible things are bound to occur so long as the political crisis that fueled this murderous rampage continues. Since October 2015 about 200 Palestinians and 30 Israelis have been killed in this latest round of violence. Police methods can only do so much. Only a political solution can put an end to such violence.
Sadly the COGs insist that such violence is fated to be the lot of all those living in the Holy Land until Christ's return. They insist there is no hope that this terrible violence end until Christ's return. They seek to take away from those who mourn and suffer the hope that something can be done about this terrible violence.
This attitude is wrong. Considering the many other things the COGs got wrong over the years why should we accept this dire, hope destroying idea they propagate? Peace is possible. A political agreement is needed to end this violence.
May peace soon come to the Holy Land.
