"I believe it is peace for our time….” said the British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain on September 30, 1938, after signing a peace pact with Nazi Germany. What followed in the next few years would result in the loss of millions of lives and is now part of a dark chapter of mankind's history.
When you appease a monster and a mass murderer in the hope of peace, just as the Chamberlain's government were willing to do in 1938, you create a future which will only bring untold miseries to many millions. This is a lesson we must all remember as we rush headlong and celebrate peace and forget the recent past.
I pray that the coming days will bring happiness and tears of joy to many in the war-torn areas of the Middle East but a part of me is also troubled to see killers like Netanyahu walk away with their heads held high and deals being done as if the lives lost meant nothing to anyone.
