Restoration
"Cold" Peace or Real Peace?
It is tragic when terrorists attack innocent civilians, whatever the "cause." It is doubly sad when it is done to coincide with the biblical Holy Days that foreshadow peace among all peoples.
Last month on Oct. 7, a pickup loaded with explosives detonated at a Hilton hotel in Taba, a popular Red Sea resort area. Thirty-two people died and more than a hundred were injured by the blast. It was the worst attack on Egyptian soil in more than six years, but it wasn't an attack on Egyptians. Thousands of Israeli tourists were enjoying the holiday season there, in spite of their government's warning of the high possibility of attack. One Israeli said, "Until [the blast] it was so great, peaceful and quiet, with beautiful sea and friendly people. It was a dream holiday. In a thunderclap it became a nightmare."
Beyond the human toll is the damage to Israeli-Egyptian relations. The two nations have had an uncertain peace since signing a treaty in March 1979. Egyptian President Anwar Sadat paid for that overture with his life when Islamic terrorists from within his own people assassinated him in 1981. Some say it is a "cold" peace that exists today between the two nations.
