I am new to this forum, so please do not take what I have to say as a personal attack or that I am accusing you of anything.

They should do what appears to be right in terms of property and possessions.

What "appears" to be right is evidently a matter of opinion, don't you think? It appears the world is holding Israel up to a different standard than it applies to anyone else. I can't think of a single country in the world at any point in history which has treated their enemies with the simple decency that Israel has done. Can you?

First, because it is right.

Why should Israel do what YOU think is right? Nothing personal, of course, but why should Israel do what anyone else thinks is "right"? Israel must do what it thinks is right and bear the consequences.....just like the rest of the world.

Second, because it is a public, visible event.

Interesting. Israel appears to be the only country in the world held up to such close scrutiny. Perhaps they should take the attitude that "since the world doesn't care when our citizens are murdered, we shouldn't care when the rest of the world thinks we are "mistreating" the Arabs." What do you think?

My position is this....I am rabidly pro-Israel. There are a number of reasons for this, but it is a fact.

When it comes to doing the right thing, they should do what is right according to their own religious guidelines. Those guidelines call upon them to treat the alien in their midst with integrity. Ensuring that evictee property is returned after the period of crisis is over would be integrity laden.

It will shine publicly.

Those who truly care will notice. Particularly, God.

What do you think?
