Yet... 5 of the 9 sites are Jewish or Israeli. More than half your sources are from the "bad guys" in Israel. This leads me to think that you're not being fair to the Israeli side here. The fact of the matter is, the Israelis treat the Palestinians with more deference than the Palestinians themselves do.
And what happens when the Israelis pull back? The Palestinians start killing one another. When it's all said and done, far more Palestinians have been killed by their own or by their Arab brothers than have been killed by Israel.
If you don't want Palestinians to be killed, say it in Arabic. |
I made sure to give you Israeli sites.
You miss the point, we as Christians have no dog in this fight. It is a mess that is fueled by a government that continues to claim a victim's position.
You are not understanding the world view of this, we are not back in 1948 or 1967, we are sitting in 2009. Israel would mop up Gaza with every man woman and child if given the chance. If Israel was trying to seek peace, then why does she continue to constantly agitate the situation by sending her settlers into Palestinian Occupied Territory? That's not what you call trying to keep peace. Palestinian kill other Palestinians? Do you have a clue to why?
Because both groups feel that the other isn't doing enough to get the invader out of their land. Yes, Invader. The Palestinian is treated like a prisoner on a reservation, behind a wall, and bars. Having to watch their wives for at least two generations give birth at IDF check points.
It takes sometimes hours to get in and out of the occupied territories, to go to work, hospitals, and schools. Life is unbearable for these people, so they get angry, not only with the oppressor, but with those who are in the jail cell with them. Who they believe not to be working with them to eradicate the invaders. Who side are YOU on? Israel? Palestine? Hamas? The PLO?
You should be on no one's side who would resort to bloodshed, and murder.
I thought I stated that before? I really thought I made myself clear on that matter? So, I will repeat myself. We should be for PEACE, not death and destruction of anyone. No one's human rights should be forfeited. No children should be placed in harms way, and no 4 year old should have their legs torn off.
The BAD GUY? How about balance of power? Do you mean to tell me that there is a balance of power? Come on already, compare the fire power of the two groups involved. Stop and think of what is going on over there and educate yourself. Pray that peace will come, and that the fighting would end when the Peace Activists in Israel and in Palestine wake the government up that brute force and antagonizing the people will never bring peace.
