What are your thoughts on what's happening in the middle east and the war?

I am taken back by all the protest against Israel and the support for the Hamas.

5 million Palestinians have left. They are now in Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. They can't return and that is a very important factor in making the decision. Also because of that there is a lot of political pressure on them from Arabs not to leave.

I think there is a very easy comparison between Israel and the Palestinians and Americans and the Native Americans. I also think it is quite Biblical to say that those who are judging Israel and yet live in the US, Australia or New Zealand are judging themselves.

In fact the Lord said "with what judgement you judge you shall be judged" so I think that proves we can compare out situation to that of others that we might be judging. You don't like the way Israel has treated the Palestinians? How about the way you have treated someone that you have had issues with?

Yes, I made this comparison early on in this thread. There is nothing wrong with saying things your ancestors did were immoral if they were in fact immoral.

You can condemn what Israeli is doing in addition to things the US has done in other words.

Hello! One of the events that must happen before the return of the Lord is that all Jews must return to Israel.

Jeremiah 31:10 “Hear the word of the Lord, you nations; proclaim it in distant coastlands: ‘He who scattered Israel will gather them
and will watch over his flock like a shepherd.’

The rise of satanically inspired Anti-Semitisim in places like the USA, Europe, Australia and Britain and the poor government response to this conduct will cause Jewish people to feel unsafe in previously friendly countries, they will emigrate to Israel. Only yesterday I watched a News interview with a young Jewish lady from London who said she was afraid to live in England any longer and would be emigrating to Israel imminently.

It's all a sign that the return of the Lord is close, do not be afraid. Stand firm. Share hope with those you meet. God Bless You

Prepare to meet your God.

Hamas is using children as human shields, blame Hamas.

So you aren't going to answer the question?

I find it wild that someone would feel more safe in Israel than in London right now. Perhaps more wild would be anyone who would terrorize a Jewish person to fear for their lives so much so that they feel they need to seek refuge in one of the most hostile and unstable parts of the world.

What do you expect Israel to do?

Are you getting anxious about what is happening? Are you following events day by day?

I am taken back by all the protest against Israel and the support for the Hamas.

I think what is happening is like, 1 Kings 22:22 - 23. Then a spirit came forward, stood before the LORD, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ ‘By what means?’ asked the LORD. And he replied, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.’ ‘You will surely entice him and prevail,’ said the LORD. ‘Go and do it.’

A hint at "For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie ...2 Thessalonians 2:11

Hello! For Jewish people Israel might be under threat, tiny and unstable but at least it's their under threat, tiny and unstable land. The Jewish homeland, the Arabs have ninety homelands, the Jews only one. God gave it to them as the Holy Bible records in numerous places. God's faithfulness to Israel serves as an illustration of God's faithfulness to us, for example God's promises to Israel as recorded in Jeremiah 33. He has chosen them and will not reject them, one day all Israel will be saved, not because of anything they have done but because of his mercy.

As for England being unsafe, I have a relative in London who tried to walk down a certain street with friends and was confronted by a group of angry men from a certain religion, they were told there was a mosque on the street and 'kufars' were not permitted to walk down it. My relative being a former police officer and aware of the anaemic response of the authorities to such intimidation rightly retreated, her friends visibly shaken. I have made my last visit there. You can see clips on the news from London of angry beardy men waving Palestinian flags and shouting 'Jihad' and other violent slogans about Israel, the police standing watching them. How should a Jewish person feel experiencing this? At least in Tel Aviv their neighbours will be neighours, God Bless You

Will you please answer my question first? I responded to your post substantively and was hoping you'd return the favor. Afterwards, I'll answer yours. I would like to have a fruitful discussion where we can respond and answer two-ways.

Here is my original response to you:

They are paying the price for Hamas not giving up. This is all on Hamas.

Let me know if I understand your stance.

Because Hamas doesn't give up, Israel bombs/airstrikes Gaza killing more civilians (most of which are children) than Hamas terrorists, and it's NOT Israel's fault whatsoever? The fault is entirely on Hamas even though Israel knows full well they will end up killing more civilians?

Hamas has one goal, destroy Israel at all cost. Tell Hamas to stop hiding behind women and children.
