A couple of posts ago I mentioned how the British Imperialism of the late 19th and early 20th centuries gave roots to many conflicts that we see ongoing today. Perhaps the largest of these conflicts is between the Israelis and Palestinians.

Now, read closely here, The Brits don't get all the blame for this conflict that has been ongoing basically since Isaac and Ishmael. Still when the Brits dumped the hotly contested area into the lap of the United Nations in 1947, the poorly handled release of territory turned up the heat on the boiling pot. Shortly after the creation of Israel, 726,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes. Today over 4 million Palestinian refugees live in refugee camps in the West Bank or Gaza, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq, and elsewhere.

Today the only possible solution for peace involves two states. This separation of states will give a homeland to both the Jews and the Palestinians. A two state solution with some mutual control over Jerusalem is the only hope for the resolution of conflict that is still ongoing but buried on the evening news.

OneVoice has set a goal to have a two state solution in place within one year from today. I'd ask that as you pray for God's will to be done on earth as it is in heaven, that you include a prayer for peace in this region of the world. Only through God can this land and people find shalom.
