In an ironic twist, Yerushalayim – the City of Peace – has seen much violence since the time of Melchi-Tzedic (Gn 14).

Israel War Update – Day 93
At a rally for the remaining hostages, Agam Goldstein-Almog, a 17-year-old who was released from Hamas captivity after being held in Gaza for 51 days, spoke of her time in captivity, and said “One day we moved from a house to a tunnel. Suddenly the door opened and we met six girls. Many girls experienced severe gender* abuse, they are injured with very severe and complex injuries that are not treated. I can’t even imagine what their situation is and what hope they are holding on to.”

Israel War Update: Day 65
Meanwhile, more reports came from Gaza of mass surrenders by Hamas terrorists, lately in Jabaliya. After people unfamiliar with war and terrorism complained about photos of the surrendered terrorists stripped to their underwear, the IDF Spokesman explained that this is done to ensure that they’re not hiding weapons or wearing explosives under their clothing. (Note: The terrorists treated the hostages much worse: underwear, no shoes, beatings, and sexual assaults. Should Israel do the same?)
