Israel & the Gaza Strip

We hope you will join us as we stand  in solidarity with the state of Israel and it's response to the daily rocket attacks from the terrorist organization Hamas. Our prayers are with the families of the region as we  mourn the loss of innocent lives of both Israeli's and Palestinians.  Israel has been left with no other choice but to protect her citizens. While Hamas uses  innocent men women and especially children as decoys. Israel's prime minister Olmert made an appeal a few days ago to avoid a military response but was met with deaf ears.  Contrary to the media's horrific portrayal of Israel it appears that Hamas is not satisfied with their presence on the Gaza strip but would like to see the destruction of all of Israel. Although it seems like an insurmountable task we pray for peace for the New Year in Israel and the Middle East and around the world!  What are your thoughts about Israel's response to the Hamas rocket fire?
