The events that have already unfolded—and are currently unfolding—in the Gaza Strip are truly historic. The Israeli government decided to evacuate Gaza of its 9,000 Jewish settlers as part of a unilateral disengagement plan by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. Now Israeli soldiers are forcefully evicting their fellow Jews from their homes, and the rest of Israel along with the rest of the world watch in awe and amazement.
Perhaps the most important outcome I hope the Gaza pullout brings is an era of lasting and comprehensive peace. For far too long, this land so holy to Jews, Christians, and Muslims has been poisoned by the blood of innocents. For far too long, the pristine vistas of this land where the footsteps of the Prophets have tread have been clouded by the choking smoke of warfare. For far too long, mothers and fathers have wept over sons and daughters, and funeral processions have become a woefully mundane part of life.The children of Abraham have been fighting each other for far too long. I hope and pray that the Gaza pullout will be the first step toward a future of hope and peace rather than guns and bombs for Israelis and Palestinians for generations to come. In Your Most Holy Name I ask this, O ALLAH. Amin...
