Heaven is a beautiful place.

Hi,

Jeremiah 31:36 says "Thus says the Lord, Who gives the sun for a light by day , and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, Who divides the sea when the waves thereof roar: the Lord of hosts is His name. If those ordinances depart from before me, says the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before Me forever".

I am not one to say the Jews are right no matter what. But the starting point for discussion is that Israel has a right to exist, and they have a right to determine the terms of their own existence. As we do in America. Until that happens, one cannot begin to discuss the Palestinian claim.

Shalom,

Bill

Jesus wants you healthy, wealthy and wise!


Hi,

America is the "great melting pot" consisting of every race, creed and religious perspective under the sun. So, too, is Israel.

The statement that the Jews are being castigated on race when they are people "of a particular birth, irrespective of their faith, and those of a particular faith, irrespective of their birth" is accurate.

Therefore hardly "racist".

Any Arab argument against Arabs being second class citizens in Israel is immediately counter-balanced by the record of human rights extended to Jews in Muslim countries.

The radical Islamists claim to be "People of the Book". The "Book" being the Bible, including the Old Testament. Yet they say Israel has no right to exist as a nation. They should take a look into the "Book" they claim to follow. (Jeremiah 31:36)

Have a great day,

Bill

Rejoice in the Lord always!


Hi,

Americans don't like to remind themselves that we stole the land from the Indians, but nobody denies what a "native American" is.

One would guess it's all in how you define "native" but I wouldn't try that one on the Apaches, or even the Mexicans, when referring to the American Southwest.

The only reason we aren't behaving as the Israelis are is because the Mexicans aren't setting off bombs in Safeway supermarkets across California, Arizona, Texas and New Mexico because we "stole" them from Mexico.

But what do you think America's response would be if they did? Would the UN call Americans a single "race" in order to lay charges of genocide, racism and ethnic cleansing against the Mexicans?

Every member of the Body of Christ is unique and special to God.

Hi,

Maybe the concept that Jews practice "racial superiority" doesn't bother the UN, but since I know Jews of virtually every single race including those of Arab countries, it bothers me. The main argument against Israel, from the Arab perspective, is that the Israelis stole the land from the "native" people of the region.

First, the question of the "native" people of the region. The Book of Psalms, chapter 137, penned three thousand years ago by a Jew/Israelite, says, "If i forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. If i do not remember you, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy."

The Jewish sacred writings of antiquity refer to Jerusalem some 767 times, compared to the Koran, which does not mention it once.

Americans don't like to remind themselves that we stole the land from the Indians, but nobody denies what a "native American".

Until next time,

Bill

God is a Rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.


Hi,

At the beginning of the twentieth century, "Palestinian" cities included Acre, Jerusalem, Amman, Damascus and Baghdad.

Syria was created by the British and subsequently given to France as the French Mandate. The Syrians declared independence after the British left in 1946, two years before Israel did the same thing. How are they different? They are both historically "Palestinian".

Either both the Arab Middle East and the Jewish homeland are equally valid, or equally invalid, since both were created by the same power at the same time. You can't have it both ways. But facts don't seem to bother the UN or the Arabs much. It seems that when facts get in the way, they are dismissed as "Jewish Propaganda".

The Palestinians chose Arafat to stand up for them. They don't need our help. Arafat did quite a good job at Durban. Israel was the only nation singled out for condemnation for it's "racist, genocidal practices".

Have a great day,

Bill

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!

Hello,

Let's continue our discussion about what is happening in the Middle East. The Kurds were no happier about it than were the Arabs of the Ottoman Empire who the world now refers to as the Palestinians. Nobody at the UN is calling for the redrawing of that map.

Three fourths of what became Iraq were Assyrians of Mesopotamia who woke up one morning as Iraqis. Where is the UN's indignation at Saddam's ethnic cleansing of the Kurds? Israel never wiped out any villages (Kurdish, Palestinian or otherwise) with poison gas.

Or is this all Jewish propaganda? Better tell the Arabs. Most of this is on the Arab-Net website, as well. They will want to revise that.

And Jordan was created by the British in 1921 as Trans-Jordan. Is it not really Jordan at all?

What is really hard to find in history is a nation of Palestine. If we use Palestine as it was through the Ottoman Turks from 1517-1917, there is no Jordan, Syria or Lebanon. I haven't heard those countries offering to dissolve themselves and give their land to the PLO.

Have a nice day,

Bill
