As a Christian, I completely see your point. The point I am making is that the reference to this historical and monumental event, conveys what I believe, in these negotiations/truce talks, is that I think Israel sends a clear message they’ve had it and will up a notch in their retaliation if Gaza continues in their hell bent, peace breaking intents against Israel and from Israel’s perspective, according to the flesh, being the literal descendants of Abraham, they have every right to drop a history line on them. As I said in my statements elsewhere, I believe there is a literal and a spiritual Israel.
One is a spiritual jew, through faith in Christ. If it comes down to taking sides on the issue, I will have to side with my spiritual heritage and accept them not as the people who rejected Christ, but as the nation loved by God, in spite of their rebellions. There is a point here. God is merciful to everyone of us to a certain point, I agree. Let’s just not be the ones to bet on, or judge, the extent of that mercy.
My post is the shorthand of what you have posted.
Yesterday I was at the cemetery where my beloved of 21 years together was buried this past September after a very short illness. His first name was David. I had just at the time placed a holiday season cemetery pot of evergreens at his gravesite when I saw on my smartphone what PM Bibi said about “our hand grasps the sword of David.” That gave me confort while I visited my David’s gravesite.
PM Bibi is not afraid to be “blunt”.
