Do you feel or believe that East Jerusalem is part of Israeli or is it Palestinian land that is occupied by Israel since 1967?

Do you believe Israel's sovereignty over East Jerusalem is recognized under international law?

Do you believe settling Israeli civilians in occupied land is a war crime?

Do you think the Jerusalem District Court has the right to evict Palestinians out of their homes in occupied land?

I see you marking anything that talks about displacing Palestinians with a red X, so I am genuinely curious what your thoughts are.
Will get back to you once I get this cough under control. <3 I don't use the red x so make sure its my posts you are talking about.

He looks for things which support his antisemetism

In order to prove preterism there has to be a guilty party that worshiped the image,received the mark the AOD ect.ect. prior to the siege in ad70, that is all these need be fulfilled prior to the destruction of the Temple in ad70. The issue is that the Jews revolted against Caesar and Rome which is the opposite of worshiping Caesar or Rome as God(=first,second and third Jewish revolt)... After one taking the position that the Jews of the first century were the guilty party who fulfilled these Scriptures without proof then requires maintenance which leads to antisemitism and Holocaust denial...one is the product of the other.

Many are, they're having big demonstrations all over the world claiming they don't.... and sadly some claiming to be Christians are in agreement with the claim Israel has no right to defend themselves.
They certainly have a right to self defense. My only arguement is. Where do you cross over from self defense into wanton destruction?

Absolutely not true, it does not lead to anti-semitism, it does take away racism which is the by product when one group has more rights than another.

Jerusalem is Babylon not Rome.
Not all revolted if you read the history, there was a faction who revolted.

As mentioned earlier... God in OT times destroyed entire nations in self defense of Israel.

Because that was the only solution since these folks have such hatred for the Jews they will never stop trying to destroy them.

The muslims today are the same way... some of them must be utterly destroyed because if they aren't them they will never stop trying to destroy Israel.

Since the muslims continually say publicaly they are hell bent on destroying Israel... they must be utterly destroyed!

No, it's not a nice thought but in this world sometimes it comes down to kill... or be killed.

In that situation we have to make a choice.... let the demon possessed idiots murder us, or do we want to whack them before they whack us?

This is the state of affairs for Israel right now.

Sadly some of so weak mentally and emotionally they would like to see Israel wiped off the map rather than hamas being wiped off the map.

You say this but every time in the past when I ask you who received the mark and worshiped the image in Revelation 13 you never explain who it was prior to ad70 that did it. To me it would be fairly simple for someone who had been taught in preterism to explain who it was they were told. Again would it not put an end to the confusion if someone that was preterit was to just say outright who it was that received the beast mark and worshiped it's image?

That's the point in what I'm saying, that is in full preterism we are told that they see all of these prophecies being fulfilled by ad70. So I thought "okay I'll entertain the idea" and began asking where and when they saw these things being fulfilled prior to ad70. Many preterist told me that I should read the writings of Josephus and that afterwards I would understand who took the mark and worshiped it's image because they always implied it was the Jews.

Now so after reading Josephus writings something else happened in that instead of seeing undeniable proof that the Jews had in fact worshiped the Caesars of Rome as God and worshiped it's image I found that in fact they did the exact opposite they revolted(revolt does not mean worship). It is easy to see after reading Wars 2 that the reason that the Jews revolted against Rome and it's Caesars was because they wanted them to place their images in the Jewish synagogues,Temple ect. and to offer sacrifices to Caesar. Now I'm not sure if you have ever read Wars 2 or if you have just taken the opinions of others on this so I'll provide you with it so you can read it yourself.

http://penelope.uchicago.edu/josephus/war-2.html and as for them buying and selling with the money of Rome the Jews minted their own coins because they had issue with the pagan images on Romes coins https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Jewish_Revolt_coinage So then the Jews involved in the first Jewish revolt and the siege of Jerusalem if fact did not fulfill what is in Revelation 13:11-18 https://biblehub.com/interlinear/revelation/13.htm That is though unless you have an idea how or who it was that fulfilled these things prior to ad70 I have ask preterist over and over for years about this and so far no one will answer the question.

A better place to start is to forget all that you have been taught and go back to scripture and let it say what it says.
Let scripture define the time and the meaning of what the imagery portrays. The book of Revelation is an incredible book.
Btw...who exactly was being worshipped by 1st century Jews in the temple after the resurrection?

Or seek and receive Holy Spirit power to experience His palpable confirmation, He never lies.
As you read His word, ask Him to reveal it to you.
He desires relationship , not religion, 24/7/365, we are no longer our own when we are His.
bless you friend

Indeed the Scriptures that is in Revelation 17 the angel explains to John that five were,one is ect. afterwards he told John that at that time the seventh was still coming but would only last a short while, Then he tells him of an eighth head that would also come and that the ten kings had received no kingdom as yet. https://biblehub.com/interlinear/revelation/17.htm

So the angel explained to John a place marker in time where they were at in the beast that were to hold rule over the earth(and the Jews). That is that of the nations(beast) that were to rule them they were in the times of the sixth head(one is) and so the others were to rise and rule afterwards in time.

In Romans 13 https://biblehub.com/interlinear/romans/13.htm Paul tells them that they were to see the authorities over them(Rome at that time) as ordained by God. Again in Ephesians 6:5-9 and 1Peter 2:18-20 they said to the Christians obey those masters. On the other hand it seems that not only did the Jews not understand Jesus is the Messiah they also did not see to accomplish the servitude they were told they would accomplish under the four beast in Daniel. They suffered through Assyria and Babylon, then Persia and Greece but when it came to Rome the fourth beast they revolted(1st Jewish revolt) and tried to cast off that rule that was allocated by God. They did not understand to obey those authorities as ordained by God as the Christians did and that they were in the times of the sixth head and that there were an seventh,an eighth,ten kings and a little horn yet to come.

Not sure I remember the details of the conversation but I think we covered this before.

I feel like you have to take care of the big picture first and then chip away at the details, I would start with the Oliver discourse and see how that fits into being fulfilled.

Some say Nero but not sure I am completely convinced.

So what do you make of all that?
And still curious who you believe was being worshipped in the temple by 1st century Jews after the resurrection.
 
this does not negate they were attached and have a right to defend themselves
You are looking at this from a verry narrow point of view.
Before I give my answer, I do agree that the Hamas attack had no objective in mind, or at least I have not heard of one. It was wrong and sadly many will suffer as a result. In my view they are lashing out because they are not being heard and yet it is wrong to take anyone’s life, period.
In my view the leader of Israel wants to wipe them all out. If the world was not watching, BiBi would have already sent in his tanks to kill anyone they saw and destroy whatever they could. And yes, it would have been and still may become a genocide.
Back to my original statement. There were three (3) terrorist groups called the Hagana, Irgun & Stern gangs.

It is what it is
 
Well they were and God keeps His promise.
SCATTER THEN GATHERED THEN JUDGED
First, they were scattered.

(Jer 24:9 KJV) And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them.

Second, they were gathered for judgment.
(Ezek 36:24 KJV) For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
King James Bible
And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.
(Ezek 36:17 KJV) Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their ..own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman.
(Ezek 36:18 KJV) Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it.
(Ezek 36:22 KJV) Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went.
(Ezek 36:24 KJV) For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
(Ezek 36:31 KJV) Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.
(Ezek 36:32 KJV) Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord GOD, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel.

Then the Lord, God Tells the Israeli that He has had enough, and so it will be done; in our lifetime.

And last but not least, the Lord God removes them from their memory

King James Bible
Ezekiel 21:32
Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no more remembered: for I the LORD have spoken it.
THE END
