Israel Declares War

Oversimplification. Gaza has received vast amounts of money, most of which has gone to Hamas to fund their terror organisation. Hamas attacked Israel almost as soon as they were elected to rule Gaza. Hamas does not recognise the right of Israel to exist. That's hardly a basis for peaceful relationships. Gaza could be prosperous. They surely have had enough resources. Israel allowed 18,000 Gazans to work in Israel. Those workers provided intelligence to Hamas which allowed them to choose the softest targets.

Gaza could become economically independent. Israel would welcome a peaceful neighbour instead of a hotbed of strife. It won't happen because the Arabs are descended from Ishmael and conflict is in their genetic makeup. Can Arabs and Israelis co-exist? Sure. 25% of Israel's population is Arab. Most are Muslim. They are free to worship their "Allah", who is Satan in reality. There has been a mass exodus of Jews from most of the world and Jews in the majority of Muslim countries are almost unheard of. The reason is simple. Jews are persecuted in Muslim countries but Muslims have not been driven out of Israel.

Americans should consider China a threat because it is a threat. And the good ole USA enabled the rise of China, vainly believing that China would adopt democracy and become a model world citizen. I like the Chinese people. They are smart, hard working and friendly. Their rulers, not so much. China has outwitted the West. Australia is having to spend inordinate amounts on defence because successive governments failed to recognise China's ambitions. China manipulates Australia with ease. They send students here to learn and to steal IP. They negotiate deals then refuse ships permission to unload their cargoes. The only thing unaffected is iron ore. They use this to make steel for ships that threaten the peace of South East Asia.

Around 40 years ago, there was a joke going around about a predictive computer. It was asked who would be Australia's prime minister in the distant future. After hours of processing, the answer came. They asked the IT guy, "What does it say?" He replied, "I can't read it. It's in Chinese". It does not seem so funny now.

Actually, I've seen more queers support Israel as they remind the world how "Israel is the only nation in the Middle East to support LGBT rights". Crazy enough, proclaiming Christians repeat the same garbage as if God is pleased with it.

"Oversimplification" when you completely exclude the full story from being told. You tell it with absolute zero objectivity.

As for the rest of your long winded post, it's just a repeat of some things I actually agree with mixed with some flat out inaccuracies. We can't even come to an agreement about the Nakba... You think Palestinians weren't murdered, displaced, or kicked out of their homes in spite of both sides saying this happened. You acknowledge it's currently going on right now, but that God promised the land to the Jews so it's justifiable to kick Palestinians out of their homes in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. It's insanity to believe such a thing. I don't think we will get anywhere unless we can agree on historical facts and that just because God promised the land to the Jews, does not mean homes and all the possessions of Palestinians within the land also belong to Jews.

The starting point is Ishmael and Isaac. Ishmael is the child of the flesh, Isaac the child of God's promise. Russia/Ukraine is quite simple. Russia invaded a sovereign nation. They had no right to do so. End of story.

Again your ignorance of history is obvious. Israel is a nation according to international law, as proclaimed by the UN. You don't have to like it, but it's the truth. Do you know how America gained its independence? How about the evils of slavery? Where do you live? In cuckoo land, obviously. Nations have been fought over, blood has been shed and injustices done since early human history. You seem to think that it excuses Hamas. I wonder how you would respond if your country was attacked by an aggrieved neighbour. Some sources suggest Russia want Alaska back. Do you support them in that? How about the Mexican lands illegally taken by America? Should they be handed back?

Israel is the regathering of the scattered according to God's promise. God did not say that they would be some kind of righteous beacon on the earth. They blew that when they crucified Lord Jesus. There are many Jews who have accepted Christ as the Messiah. They are born again and acceptable God in the Beloved.

Israelis are no more or no less righteous than any other unbeliever. However, the nation stands as a silent witness to God's power to fulfill His word no matter what. And that is why the "goat" world hates Israel. That's all. And that's why I support Israel, because the nation exists according to God's will. Could they do better in the conduct of the war? Probably. They are human, not machines. No doubt revenge colours some judgements. That does not make the actions of Hamas acceptable or warrant the condemnation of the whole world. When you get queers supporting Hamas, you know something is desperately wrong. Hamas would kill them, after falling about laughing at their stupidity.

I won't tire of repeating this: Israel is being held to an impossible standard that no other nation has to attain. And not one realistic proposition has been put forward to end the war on a just footing. There is no possibility of a two state solution. No one is prepared even to send peacekeepers to Gaza. The UN peacekeepers in Lebanon do nothing to limit Hezbollah's aggression. Why are they there? And the useful idiots of the West fund the UN to make demands and to pass taxpayer's funds to terrorists.

Satan is still the god of this world. He still lies, deceives and murders. He still blinds the perishing. I expect nothing from the world. I'd hoped for better from some Christians.

Israel would welcome a peaceful neighbour instead of a hotbed of strife.

The Palestinians who are now "refugees" voluntarily left Israel at the start of the 1948 war.

Modern day Israel is not prophetic

I wonder if it is because this is prophetic and essential to their misunderstanding of scripture so they cannot be objective.

God promised the land to the Jews................ It's insanity to believe such a thing.

On the contrary.....it is insane to NOT believe it. Because God describes this to be His will. Hundreds of times.

BTW....you should just listen to the way you talk once in a while. Just some friendly advice.

You acknowledge it's currently going on right now, but that God promised the land to the Jews so it's justifiable to kick Palestinians out of their homes in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. It's insanity to believe such a thing.

Prove it. I mean TRY in vain that is. Because you never have and never will.

Modern day Israel is not prophetic, simple as that, it was brought to fruition by the machinations of evil men.

When you have come under false teaching truth can only be revealed to those who earnestly seek it.

You acknowledge it's currently going on right now, but that God promised the land to the Jews so it's justifiable to kick Palestinians out of their homes in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. It's insanity to believe such a thing.

I don't want to hear any garbage about the messenger. I know on many, if not most issues he's an awful leftist.
So deal with the MESSAGE.
Which is excellent!

I have absolutely no idea at all whether it is justifiable or not. I am no mans judge.
All that I do know for certain is that the land grant to Abraham is eternal and perpetual and unilateral on God's part.
Abraham had no performance or works requirement whatsoever.
