P. A. Chacko S. J.
The world stands in need of sanity. Mindless wars have destroyed people’s lives. One horrifying result is the swelling number of war orphans.
In 2015 the number was 140 million. In 2025 it is nothing less than 200 million.
Who cares! War mongering nations want to engage in aggressive ways of using more and more modern weapons to kill, to annihilate, and to destroy.
Israel’s war in Gaza alone has turned over one million children orphans. Many of them are disabled, injured, mentally traumatised, homeless, and human wrecks.
Do some of us still glorify terrorist leaders of nations who have bible in one hand and nuclear arcenal in the other. Netanyahu quotes the Holy Bible saying God told the wandering Israelites to wage war against the defending Amelakites and capture their land. Today’s Amelakites are the Palestinians who need to be wiped out so that Israel will have an expanded territory. With what conscience can we support such devils on the parade?
Think of the 200 million war orphans who languish in misery, nursing mutilated minds and disabled bodies!
Tell the bloodthirsty war mongers that enough is enough! Tell your God you believe in to arrest the war devils on their tracks. Tell Him, enough is enough!
