The Security Council has a longstanding practice of condemning terrorism, no matter the victims, no matter the location, no matter the perpetrator, no matter the motivation." Unless it's Israel and Jews that are being attacked. Why the double standard? Why do we keep trying to work with the UN? The nations are in an uproar...I know it appears we have no other alternative on earth than the UN. So how do we pray? I know of no other words than to pray for the peace of Jerusalem...but even in that prayer I am told in the Tanakh that the people cry, "Peace, peace, but there is no peace." Please don't misread, I do not despair. I know our only hope is in Messiah and I do not believe he will rescue us through the UN. I think that we put our trust in a false hope when we look to the world for peace. “Which is why, Mr. President, it was so sad and disturbing that the Council could not condemn the terrorist attack.
