Just because years have passed does not justify condemning an entire religion because of what some have passed off as faithful execution of God’s writ.

You err regarding the Palestinian situation. The Palestinians are not descendants of those people. The Palestinians came long after the Jews were there - long after Christ.

“Just because years have passed does not justify condemning an entire religion because of what some have passed off as faithful execution of God’s writ.”

I’m not sure who you’re talking about; if you’re referring to the Christians for killing Muslims during the Crusades, then sure it does! If they’ve repented of their sins and sought forgiveness (which could also be interpreted as having changed their ways) then they are forgiven by God (and their sins are no more. I didn’t say this; God said it.

If you’re talking about the Muslims who were busily engaging during the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th Centuries in, what they’ve again become famous for over the past half century - threatening murder and mayhem against all who refuse to submit to the Will of Allah (also known as the ‘Moon God’) then…

I can and do condemn them!

I can do so because they are still engaged in the same despicable and disreputable behavior today that they were engaged in 8 centuries ago – the subjugation of other peoples by threat of intimidation and force – insisting that they Submit or Die, then yes, I can and do condemn them (and I think I’m justified in doing so).

They have not changed; they were forcing people to convert to Islam in the 7th Century and they’re still doing so today (and raping, torturing, and murdering those who refuse).

Regarding the Palestinian ‘Situation’, I’m aware that they are not ‘direct decendents’ of the original peoples however, had the Hebrews obeyed God and kept his commandments faithfully they would, I believe, have never been forced from their homeland. And you might wonder what my reason for this belief is? Even the might of the Roman Empire could not have prevailed against Almighty God if He had decided to protect His People from Rome! As it is today, they have to settle for being the Remnant of His People on whom He will Pour Out His Blessing.

The Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF) now is that the Jews did return to their historic homeland – the one promised them by the God of Abraham and Isaac and their nation was recognized by the United Nations in 1948. I believe God Ordained it and God Caused it to Happen! Israel does exist and I believe God will protect them – not the false god, “allah” but the real God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, and Moses.

What I think is really irrelevant (and what you think is irrelevant as well); what matters is…

What does God Want? And more to the Point, What is He going to do to protect His People! His people are the Jews (not the descendants of Ishmael)!
