I wonder what percentage of Americans would favor a genocidal solution. And, of those, I wonder what percentage go to church on Sundays.

The OT is part of the Bible. Jesus came to fulfill the law, not to break it. While we do live in an Age of Grace, that doesn't mean that the God of the OT is not the God of the NT. There is more than one instance in the OT where God has allowed the Jews to kill their enemies, even unto the beasts of the field.

Might want to spend a little time reading the Bible.

OT God also found it necessary to see the Kingdom of Israel broken and scattered with many taken into slavery on more than one occasion. So I’m going to cast my eyes to the NT, for direction.

Because they did not obey His Will.

What did God tell the Israelites to do to the Canaanites?

Or given a more pertinent illustration to the current invasion of Israel...Just after the Israelites crossed the Red Sea, they were attacked by the Amalekites.

Exodus 17:14 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.

Later on, Moses tell the Israelites to wipe them out.

God is Merciful. God is Love. God can also deliver terrible Judgement, if so warranted.

So is this one of the times that they are to follow God’s command by smiting and destroying their enemies? Or is this one of the times they are supposed to be broken and scattered for not following God’s command? Or are they supposed to turn the other cheek? I’m confused.

I'm not. Who has turned their eyes from God? Who has done wicked deeds? Who has attacked the Chosen?

There is no religious or moral discussion about what is essentially right or what is wrong. This is a just war on Israel's part. The discussion takes place on how severe the response should be.

There are times when even Jesus said to go buy a sword.

Well, so much for this thread.

I think the Pope should call a Crusade…for old time’s sake.

The IDF says they have a body count of approximately 1500 dead terrorists within the borders of Israel.

As bach already pointed out, Washington is taking no chances for any mischief on the part of Putin and Assad. Likewise for Iran. All three support both Hamas and Hezbollah.

Here's a hint: Don't make war with the people that supply your power.

Egypt could always supply them, you know… Gaza is not bordered on all sides by Israel…

And take refugees, as I commented earlier.

Khalid Mashal the leader and founding member of Hamas gave a speech today asking Muslims all around the world to do the following:

To show anger, especially next Friday, in Muslim countries and Also among Muslim diaspora around the world; he called it “the Friday of Al-Aqsa flood”, he said this will send a message of rage to Zionists and to America

He asked for financial help from all Muslims around the world; to help with their money, he called it “Financial Jihad”. He asked Muslims to give to the fighters of Gaza in order to compensate them for the destruction

He asked political pressure, from Muslim leaders and Muslim nations, to stop Israel’s military invasion of Gaza

The most important thing: He asked all Muslims around the world to carry Jihad by their souls; to fight and be martyrs for Al-Aqsa.

He wants Muslims to fight against the Jews, starting with Muslims who live in the countries surrounding Israel: Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt (but also other countries), to go to the borders and try to enter, each by his own means. He said: This is the time for Jihad to be applied on the ground rather than just in theory. He asked the Mujahedeen to go in long caravans to spell their blood on the land of Palestine.

These are his final words:

Funds are important but today we are asking for your blood and souls [to be sacrificed for Palestine]

I read that Israel has informed Egypt that any trucks entering at Rafah will be destroyed. I think there was an airstrike on it yesterday.
