Whilst the events in Israel are escalating, I thought that I would share my thoughts on them.

On Sunday, July 2, Cpl. Gilad Shalit was kidnapped when Palestinian Hamas terrorists used an underground tunnel to infiltrate his outpost in Kerem Shalom near southern Gaza, killing two of his comrades before escaping back to Gaza. Since then, there has been no word of his fate.

10 days later Hizbullah fighters based in southern Lebanon launch Katyusha rockets across the border with Israel, targeting the town of Shlomi and in a cross-border raid, the terrorists seized two Israeli soldiers before retreating back into Lebanon, insisting on a prisoner exchange and warning against confrontation.

This final insult spat into the face of the Israeli people was not to be ignored!  This was an advancement across an internationally recognised border by an army from a foreign country and was clearly an act of war.  These terrorists have kidnapped soldiers and they have fired rockets on Israeli towns where both Jew and Muslim live side by side.

I am proud of the actions of Israel and I hope that every country around the world is watching with awe of the actions of a country that treats every soldier as important as the next and will do anything for their security and protection whilst they are protecting there people from the tentacles of terror.

I cannot put into words what I am feeling at the minute about the events occuring in and around Israel, but suffice to say that I am now seriously thinking about moving to Israel after graduating from University so that I can help in any way that I can in this never ending struggle against those that will see my people destroyed.
