I have often wondered( but been too lazy to research it) why in the world did the Jewish people allow their land to be taken away so many times? It seems that they have allowed themselves to be victims throughout history. We now see a large section of the Jewish community in this country wanting the very things that destroyed them so many times, such as gun control, bigger government, fewer individual rights.
Was it because they became unrighteous? Was it because they were pacifists?
Although I think the Israeli government in the past and present was horribly brutal, many of the Israelis alive and living their today are innocent of these crimes and I don't advocate removeing them from their homes.
Just as their fathers shouldn't have removed my father from his home. To argue that Israel was justified in genocidal acts because of a biblical deed to land is absurd.
