Why not surrender?
17Then Jeremiah said… 'If you surrender… your life will be
spared and this city will not be burned down; you and your family will live.
18But if you will not surrender… this city will be handed
over… and they will burn it down; you yourself will not escape from their
hands.' "
-Jeremiah 38
I do not like to enter into discussions about geopolitical
issues and especially war. I'm no expert. But as I pray about the conflict in the Holy
Land one thought continues to come to mind. I know there is a constant call for
an Israeli ceasefire but why is there never a call for Hamas to surrender?
Hamas is the
governing authority in Gaza and they would have the power to surrender and end
the conflict. This never is brought up. I wonder why that is? I wonder why after
seeing all the devastation and death that has been brought upon that land why
wouldn’t they surrender?
What are they still trying to hold on to? I know this is not
the politically correct question to ask but I simply must ask it. When I think
about what happened in Japan after the atomic bomb was dropped the Japanese
government realized that level of destruction must stop and they surrendered.
Doesn’t Hamas see what is happening? Are they really
committed to sacrificing the lives of so many people in the name of their war.
This is just a question that needs to be asked-so I’m asking it-why isn’t Hamas
being pressed by the world to surrender?
This article from the Washington post states this question
even better:
