In nearly all the public and private tirades against Israel, Hamas is generally ignored, or statistics are thrown around that 1200 dead Israelis do not justify 20,000+ dead Palestinians. It is disproportionate we are told. This is a very transactional view of human lives, but it makes bad press for Israel and fails to add that if you build tunnels under hospitals and schools, hide behind ordinary citizens while firing rockets at the IDF, don't expect ordinary citizens not to die.

Its bishops have done the unthinkable; they have turned away from the gospel of Jesus Christ and embraced sin. Jesus must be weeping. Never mind that prominent LGBT activist Jayne Ozanne has claimed that repentance is not central to the gospel. Positioning herself as a "gay evangelical" Christian, she argued that "if repentance is not a salvation matter" then the church doesn't need to uphold biblical sexual ethics. That should tell you all you need to know. She is not alone.

A letter signed by 10 of the province's 12 bishops, demanded Matsinhe's resignation as archbishop of the Anglican church for failing to perform his civic duties as the president of the National Elections Commission. (CNE) A Nov. 14 meeting of the Standing Committee of the 23rd Session of the Diocesan Synod of the Anglican Church that had Matsinhe's fate as the only agenda item was postponed after the defendant insisted on having armed guard accompany him to the meeting.

A "comprehensive ceasefire" that leaves even the remnants of Hamas in place is a non-starter for Israel. Sooner rather than later the rockets would start up again and no one, not even the UN will care if local Israeli towns, even Haifa is hit with a rocket. The world will yawn. This is a local squabble that Israel and Hamas can work out, they would say. Pay no mind.
