Two State Solution?

Hamas and Israel cannot seem to coexist without each feeling the need to destroy the other. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken supports a Two State Solution, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas do not. Others advocate a Two State Solution, where both coexist as sovereign political entities. I heard a clip of America’s former Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, who maintained that she never heard at the UN (from the nations surrounding Israel) that anyone but Israel (at that time, and of course, the Palestinian Authority) was supporting a Two State Solution. As a candidate for the Republican nomination for President of the United States (2024), she is advocating letting Israel seek a solution to insure the safety of their borders. Would America feel the same about a terrorist threat on our own borders? “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets” (Matthew 7:12 KJV).

Climate Change Is Happening

Climate change is happening, according to most Republicans and Democrats surveyed by The NY Times in 2014 and 2016. How to regulate human activity causing the carbon emissions is the divide between party politics and between economically developed and emerging nations. The same advice Christ gave individuals should be heeded by political parties and nations. Treat others the way you want to be treated. “And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise” (Luke 6:31 KJV). May God give us wisdom to meet the challenge of climate change.
