The value of life

On 11th of October, an important negotiation between a government of Israel and Hamas, an Islamic militant group, was succeeded. It was a prisoner swap between them. They decided to release 1,027 Palestinians from Israel. How many Israeli was released from Palestinian Territory? The answer is only one. 1027 people were released only for one Sergeant Sharid, Guilad who was abducted in Gaza in June, 2006.

Why did Israel accept this condition? Palestinians pressed ahead with suicide attack and the government of Israel agreed to hold a negotiation that releases 1027 Palestinians for 1 Israeli.

Aside from whether you are pro-Israel or not, it is clear that the value of life on both sides is different. Eternal life Jesus gives us is more valuable than this. It is more than anything in this world.

Mathew 16:26
