Since more children and people have been killed by Israel than in the terrorist attack, should they stop?

Pay attention: "Do you even know where Jesus will return? It's called Israel! And He will FIGHT for Israel!"

Zechariah 14
12 And this shall be the plague with which the LORD will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on their feet, Their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets, And their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths.

I hope you or your loved ones aren't in this group. Israel is back to stay. God fights for Israel!

He ascended from Mount Olivet, spent significant time there teaching, and is the first place Christ will touch down with his feet on His return, splitting it into halves. Note the angel also mentions this same thing,

His return, the LORD, is Christ, also prophesied long before His first advent into the world. Love how the scripture fits together like a puzzle.


Acts 1

Jesus Ascends to Heaven​

9 Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, 11 who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”

The Upper Room Prayer Meeting​

12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey.

Zechariah 14

1 Behold, the day of the Lord is coming,
And your [a]spoil will be divided in your midst.
2 For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem;
The city shall be taken,
The houses [b]rifled,
And the women ravished.
Half of the city shall go into captivity,
But the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then the Lord will go forth
And fight against those nations,
As He fights in the day of battle.
4 And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives,
Which faces Jerusalem on the east.
And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two,
From east to west,
Making a very large valley;
Half of the mountain shall move toward the north
And half of it toward the south.

Let's go back a little further, shall we? Into the 1800's when very few people lived there, because what wasn't arid desert was malaria ridden swamps. Jews began to move there, and to plant trees, to restore the land.

You'll need to research this yourself, I don't expect you to hear it from me.

Much love!

This is true, and in this admittedly somewhat politically biased 2-year-old presentation of the Isaeli-Palestinian conflict, it's put into pretty clear perspective.

Thank you. I will focus on what God tells me to.
Hopefully He suggests being on topic
The blame for violence is always on the initiators of violence. In this case, Hamas - Islamic terrorists. Did you watch the video of the Palestinian explaining Hamas?
So we blame Hamas for the people they killed in Israel. And Israel for the people they killed in Palestinian areas.
The answer to your question in the OP is No, absolutely not! Isreal should not stop.
OK your support of terrorism and killing children is noted.

The goal is not to kill as many Palestinian children as Hamas killed Israeli children. The notion of proportionality is a Leftist construct. There was no such talk in the war against the Nazi's or Imperial Japan.
Say what? If the goal was be be a little less terrorists than Hamas they failed already.
I doubt your claim of equality is even true - not that the truth is important to the Left. The goal is to prevent Hamas from having the capacity to terrorize the State of Israel again.
I care not what anyone's goal is. They better not kill children. Their goals they can keep to themselves for all I care.
If you want to protect Palestinian children, you ought to pressure Islamists to abandon acts of terror.
So if we want the terrorism and slaughter of innocents to stop, we should lecture Israel's enemies. Got it.
Your line of thought, that the burden is on the victims of violence to restrain themselves is misplaced.

I reject Islamic apologies in any and every form.
So do you think Good agrees with the mass slaughter of the oppressed innocents in Palestine? Can't wait to hear that one.

Just guessing would the world's most moral army in your video happen to the ones terrorizing Gaza as we speak?
You keep advocating for Israel to not defend itself from attacks. I don't think you have any solutions to Gazan aggressions, as the only thing HAMAS will accept is the complete destruction of Israel of the jews, which is theirs and others primary goal. If Israel did not defend itself, every Israeli would be killed and or deported by all the nations surrounding the country. But they also have nowhere to go, except maybe the US and Canada. The only thing that will stop HAMAS is their own destruction, even Biden completely agrees. Likely the only good thing Biden has done so far is support Israel with more than talk.

Foolish. Let me type this slowly so you might understand.

Hamas initiated violence. They are too blame.

Israel reacted to violence, exercising their right to defend themselves. Do you recognize Israel's right to exist?

Why do you keep misrepresenting terrorism as self defense?
I don't think you have any solutions to Gazan aggressions,
You expect posters here to have that?

Maybe they want Jesus not to come back also? Add it to their wish list. Not my problem if people have pi in the sky evil dreams.

which is theirs and others primary goal. If Israel did not defend itself, every Israeli would be killed and or deported by all the nations surrounding the country.
If by defend you mean slaughtering families, well, that is not acceptable.
But they also have nowhere to go,
One might say the same for Gazans.
The only thing that will stop HAMAS is their own destruction, even Biden completely agrees.
Glad to hear the poor old guy was able to read his lines on that one.
Likely the only good thing Biden has done so far is support Israel with more than talk.
If they give him different lines to read I would not count too much on him.

What a demonstration of YOU being poor in spirit.

Just because his public speaking skills are not up to your high standards does not mean what he said is untrue.

No matter how slowly you speak or type, killing civilians en masse is not justified. The situation needs more of a swat team than an atom bomb approach. God is not for it at all.

God recognizes Israel and even their right to that land after they get saved one day. I try to agree with God. He does not recognize their terrorism today in Palestine as a good thing as you should not.

Families would not get slaughtered in Palestine if Hamas allowed them to leave.
Don't blame others. An insulting and terrorist threat in the form of a warning was made by Israel for a million people and 22 hospitals to leave. When they can't that is no excuse to kill them.

1st, Israel is not targeting civilians. Islamic terrorists have used human shields since their evil inception.

2nd, Sure killing civilians en masse is justified! Until the 2nd half of the 20th century, targeting civilians was the primary target of armies. The primary target. The allies did it at length to end WWII.

Hamas is terrorizing Gaza. The most moral army in the world is seeking to put a stop to the Islamic terrorism.
I'll take that as a yes then. Big surprise there. The kind of terror we are talking about here is bombing convoys and hospitals and apartments and thuggish ignorant threats thinly veiled as warnings. Do you claim Hamas is doing that?

Convoys, hospital and apartments are civilian filled. Be honest
Islamic terrorists have used human shields since their evil inception.
Many folks took hostages all over. The answer is not to bomb everyone and say 'ha ha we got the terrorists'
2nd, Sure killing civilians en masse is justified!
We disagree. Dr Stranglove theology doesn't cut it with me.
Until the 2nd half of the 20th century, targeting civilians was the primary target of armies. The primary target. The allies did it at length to end WWII.
That made it godly?

Isn't that what you and all Islamic apoligists do?
Calling people who do not agree with civilian terror and mass murder Islamist apologists is dishonest. It was already stated here that the Israeli deaths were terror also and all such atrocities. You need a new slur.

Not really an answer to the question. Has Hamas committed acts of terrorism?
