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

Why are you calling terrorism defending oneself?
Yes, Israel is defending itself from the Hamas monsters.
Did you think Hamas was 'defending itself[ when it attacked Israel?
No, Hamas was slaughtering because they are Satan's children.
God will bless those that bless Israel after they are saved. We are also children of Abraham by faith today and He blesses those who bless us. He does not bless unsaved people though at all, especially those engaged in killing children.
It's really sad that you are cursing Israel and very possibly bringing the curse upon yourself and your loved ones.

Valuing the life of innocents is actually a heavenly thing.
Agreed. That’s why your line of thought, that the burden is on the victims of violence to restrain themselves, is misplaced. The blame is always on the initiators of violence.

When did the violence begin?

God has not brought back Israel yet and restored and protected them. He simply prophesied they would be there. I recognize Israel as a secular nation that exists today. That doesn't mean I do not also recognize the others who had their homes taken from them there. Whose right is greater? I would think some sort of sharing the land might be the best thing. Tear down those walls and let my people go. I have already said that what Hamas did was evil terrorism. Don't ask again.
By no authority did Britain have any right to give the Jews the land. And there is something to be said for the Jews being expelled over and over from country after country.

That would not matter, as the LORD brought them back to the land. I know you don't believe in any future for the Hebrews-Jews with God.

Jeremiah 23, speaks of the latter days for that people and apparently their salvation in Christ, as does Zechariah confirm the same thing.

“Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture!” says the Lord. 2 Therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel against the shepherds who feed My people: “You have scattered My flock, driven them away, and not attended to them. Behold, I will attend to you for the evil of your doings,” says the Lord. 3 “But I will gather the remnant of My flock out of all countries where I have driven them, and bring them back to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. 4 I will set up shepherds over them who will feed them; and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, nor shall they be lacking,” says the Lord.

5 “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord,
“That I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness;
A King shall reign and [a]prosper,
And execute [b]judgment and righteousness in the [c]earth.
6 In His days Judah will be saved,
And Israel will dwell safely;
Now this is His name by which He will be called:
[d]THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

7 “Therefore, behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “that they shall no longer say, ‘As the Lord lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,’ 8 but, ‘As the Lord lives who brought up and led the descendants of the house of Israel from the north country and from all the countries where I had driven them.’ And they shall dwell in their own land.”

False Prophets and Empty Oracles​

9 My heart within me is broken
Because of the prophets;
All my bones shake.
I am like a drunken man,
And like a man whom wine has overcome,
Because of the Lord,
And because of His holy words.
10 For the land is full of adulterers;
For because of a curse the land mourns.
The pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up.
Their course of life is evil,
And their might is not right.
11 “For both prophet and priest are profane;
Yes, in My house I have found their wickedness,” says the Lord.
12 “Therefore their way shall be to them
Like slippery ways;
In the darkness they shall be driven on
And fall in them;
For I will bring disaster on them,
The year of their punishment,” says the Lord.
13 “And I have seen [e]folly in the prophets of Samaria:
They prophesied by Baal
And caused My people Israel to err.
14 Also I have seen a horrible thing in the prophets of Jerusalem:
They commit adultery and walk in lies;
They also strengthen the hands of evildoers,
So that no one turns back from his wickedness.
All of them are like Sodom to Me,
And her inhabitants like Gomorrah.
15 “Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets:

‘Behold, I will feed them with wormwood,
And make them drink the water of gall;
For from the prophets of Jerusalem
[f]Profaneness has gone out into all the land.’ ”
16 Thus says the Lord of hosts:

“Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you.
They make you worthless;
They speak a vision of their own heart,
Not from the mouth of the Lord.
17 They continually say to those who despise Me,
‘The Lord has said, “You shall have peace” ’;
And to everyone who walks according to the [g]dictates of his own heart, they say,
‘No evil shall come upon you.’ ”
18 For who has stood in the counsel of the Lord,
And has perceived and heard His word?
Who has marked His word and heard it?
19 Behold, a whirlwind of the Lord has gone forth in fury—
A violent whirlwind!
It will fall violently on the head of the wicked.
20 The anger of the Lord will not turn back
Until He has executed and performed the thoughts of His heart.
In the latter days you will understand it perfectly.

I do not believe the Lord brought them to the land because I don’t believe they are Israel.

Does not prophecy confirm this?

Actually, Israel includes both gentile and jew who are of the called according to God's purposes, and only those who are the called get saved.

Hebrews 9
15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

Recall also Christ said this,
Matthew 5:5
Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth.

God is not done with the earth yet, as His people inherit the earth as also Daniel 7 says, note v27, this happens at the end after the great tribulation
.
23 “Thus he said:

‘The fourth beast shall be
A fourth kingdom on earth,
Which shall be different from all other kingdoms,
And shall devour the whole earth,
Trample it and break it in pieces.
24 The ten horns are ten kings
Who shall arise from this kingdom.
And another shall rise after them;
He shall be different from the first ones,
And shall subdue three kings.
25 He shall speak pompous words against the Most High,
Shall persecute[j] the saints of the Most High,
And shall intend to change times and law.
Then the saints shall be given into his hand
For a time and times and half a time.
26 ‘But the court shall be seated,
And they shall take away his dominion,
To consume and destroy it forever.
27 Then the kingdom and dominion,
And the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven,
Shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High.
His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
And all dominions shall serve and obey Him.’
=========================================
On who is Israel, Romans 9 describes the true Israel, and it is both some Jews and some gentiles accordingly as God calls them to be the saints of God on whom He chooses to have mercy, only they are the children of the promise, born according to the Spirit as Issaac was. This is never according to the flesh, but always according to the Spirit.
===============================================
6 But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For they are not all Israel who are of Israel, 7 nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, “In Isaac your seed shall be called.” 8 That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed. 9 For this is the word of promise: “At this time I will come and Sarah shall have a son.”

10 And not only this, but when Rebecca also had conceived by one man, even by our father Isaac 11 (for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls), 12 it was said to her, “The older shall serve the younger.” 13 As it is written, “Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.”

Israel’s Rejection and God’s Justice​

14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not! 15 For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.” 16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy. 17 For the Scripture says to the Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth.” 18 Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens.

19 You will say to me then, “Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted His will?” 20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, “Why have you made me like this?” 21 Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?

22 What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, 23 and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory, 24 even us whom He called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

So YES, there is still the mixed multitude in Israel the land today.
Only some of them God will save, God saves a remnant, though the number of peoples be as the sands of the sea, only the remnant shall be saved,
Romans 9:27
Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, The remnant will be saved.

Read romans 8,9,10,11.
  1. Exodus 12:38
    A mixed multitude went up with them also, and flocks and herds—a great deal of livestock.
    In Context | Full Chapter | Other Translations
  2. Numbers 11:4
    Now the mixed multitude who were among them yielded to intense craving; so the children of Israel also wept again and said: “Who will give us meat to eat?

  3. Nehemiah 13:3
    So it was, when they had heard the Law, that they separated all the mixed multitude from Israel.

Spiritually speaking..
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

But the question is, are the people living in the land of Israel who call themselves Jews are the descendants of the Biblical Israelites… and the answer is no.

The blessings come with obedience. The land will be given to them after they believe. You conflate having the love of God in us with 'cursing Israel. He that hath not the son of God hath not life. You don't get to say one side kills kids because they are Satanists but the other side kills children because they are just and good. You will not use God as a cover for killing kids around me.

No one has authority from God on that. He will bring them when He brings them. Then they will have authority to be there from God. People ask if I think Israel has a right to exist. Not from God in that land right now! They have a right by world laws and etc apparently. Legally.

No, God will bring them back one day after they are saved. Pay attention, there is only one way to salvation and Jesus is that way. For Jews, Greeks and everyone on earth.

Don't have a map? Get one. It's called Israel.
