Are you seriously claiming that an alleged command to kill non jews in the Bible 5000 years ago can be used to justify an Israeli military action today?
How is that any different from Al Queda and Osama using orders to kill non muslims from the seventh cetury A.D. as a justification for crashing planes into the WTC?
No. There is much more than ample justification for the military action today without the comandment from God to the twenlve tribes , not just one or two , 5000 years ago.
It's a little late. Besides aparently the Palestinians aren't the decendents of the original inhabitents so the comandment wasn't about them. It does give the Irealis an ancient claim on the land though ; whatever that's worth.
I think that the Isrealis were extreemly muted in their responce to the continual murder of Isreali woman and children. I hope that the US wouldn't have been so timid and wouldn't have waited as long in the same position. We have been awfully timid though. It doesn't bode well for the future.
