Let me put it this way, when a “family” straps bombs to a child and marches him into a cafe to murder innocent men women and children, and the entire culture condones it, then THAT culture has destroyed itself, and Israelis have every right to defend themselves.
And I can see no evidence anywhere that Israelites hated God and/or mankind in such as a way as to behave as this.
Yet we still have such a culture seemingly locked into 7th century thinking right now behaving such a way.
Nazis were what Israelites were fighting.
And yes, I see Israeli culture then and today superiror to such an abomination.
I suppose I was misunderstood, because I wasn’t addressing the modern state of Israel or current geopolitics in any manner.
I’m not sure you can compare the Philistines or Amalekites of those days to current Palestinians at all.
So never mind. This side discussion can go nowhere.
