Lord bring peace to the Palestinians and freedom from the vicarious shackles of sick America and her British underdogs, responsible for the deaths of 20 000 Afrikaner women and children in concentration camps and the subjugation of their nation of peasant-like farmers with the appropriation of their sheep and cattle and the destruction of their homes and crops through the Crown’s policy of “scorched earth. “ ( A decade later the combined Anzac forces in World War I totaled 26 000 and the few who died are still remembered ).
Vivid memories these soul destroying and heart breaking events were a bar to our gracious Ouma Smuts, wife of Field-Marshall Jan Christiaan Smuts, consenting to being introduced to the British Royal family when they visited South Africa in 1947. Instead their Royal Highnesses , showing commendable compassion, journeyed to “ Irene “, their farm near Pretoria, to meet Ouma Smuts in her simple wood and corrugated iron home.

Lord, forgive us for the deaths of the 1 300 Palestinians shelled in Gaza in a single month over December 2008 and January 2009 of whom a third were children and the 1 900 shelled in July 2014. While the British public have rightfully been mortified and brought to tears by the death of a soldier on their home soil, they stand condemned in the face of their indifference and inaction to the deaths and sufferings of the Palestinian people at the hands of their international kinsmen. Lord what have you spawned? British morality and Christianity are in bed with weevils.
The ongoing deaths and sufferings of the Palestinian people will surely be visited upon the white English-speaking peoples and there will be no escape.
Lord, may thy will be done. The horrors of our actions and inactions cannot be redeemed by those virtues of which we may still be blessed, but only by thy forgiveness.
