Correction: the 1993 Oslo Accords were between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO, not PLA; mea culpa) and its leader Yassar Arafat. Arafat and the PLO were terrorists, ostensibly abandoned terrorism at that point. Anyway, the Oslo Accords treaty has little to do with the...

Here is Onslo in all his lazy, unprincipled glory:

To everyone: Just a small correction: It's the "Oslo Accords," not the "Onslow Accords." ("Onslow" was a character from the very funny British comedy show, "Keeping Up Appearances.") The Oslo Accord was with the PLA, not Hamas, which was a different entity. The current Palestinian Authority is...

I've actually held back from making this about theology, because I'm sure you will go with replacement theology, which I completely oppose. Didn't feel like the struggle, and didn't want to change the thread. But I can do theology about Israel all the day long: "God hath not cast away his people...

The point was, I don't care!! That BBC goof has absolutely nothing whatsoever, nothing in the slightest to do with this BB discussion! I suspect you brought it up to obfuscate, because there is so much you have not answered. Such as, please comment on the Democrat congress people who backed off...

I agree with everything you said here.

As far as they wanted to return to Israel as a people group, it was entirely biblical. The OT is full of that sort of thing: a return from Babylon that was prophesied by Jeremiah and embraced by Daniel, etc. And yes, I am a dispensationalist, if that matters. Zionism was an historical movement...

What does WT7 have to do with anything? If you are talking about World Trade Center 7, it did collapse, but how does that nullify everything reported by BBC??? So, to be clear, you are of the firm belief that "intent" can indicate genocide, correct? I find that reprehensible, if that is your...

And Chicken Little cried, "Oh, no, the IDF killed 2.4% of the civilian population of Gaza. That's genocide!!" No, that is the normal fog of war. Unfortunately, all wars without exception kill civilians. If the IDF is attempting genocide, they are extremely poor at it. Germany had 5.5 million...

You misunderstand. By the Mirriam-Webster definition, genocide does not mean killing every single person of a people group, but the attempted murder of all Well, of course not. I did not say there was no time in history genocide happened, nor did Mirriam-Webster. The Germans tried to destroy...

Why don't we actually define "genocide," since asterisktom seems to think it is happening in Gaza, following the far left usage of the term. Here is is: "the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group" (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/genocide)...

You need to relearn how to interpret parables. You have tried to make the story of the Good Samaritan a political treatise about Israel and the Palestinians. Here's a blog by a Bible scholar about that very parable and exactly how folks like to make it political: Interpreting Parables | Dr. Mike...

Are you unaware that the citizens of Gaza themselves elected Hamas as their government? And some even joined and participated in the Oct. 7 attack? So, if you are talking about Gaza, you are ergo talking about Hamas. Try all you want, you cannot escape that. You are parroting the Islamist...

Putting words in my mouth, aren't you? And I still see no theology there. And I do not see from the 100s of news programs I've seen and read about the whole thing that Israel is "indifferent" to Gaza. In fact, they have been incredibly careful in their attacks to avoid civilian population...

Thanks. You sound very experienced in this area, far more than I am. I can spot and debunk false narratives on the Internet that are about my own areas of expertise (language, Bible, martial arts), but this kind of thing is outside of my experience and areas of expertise.

Thanks for the correction, friend. I'll keep looking.

Amen to everything you wrote.

Happening right now: . I've seen it elsewhere, but this was my main source. The Artesh (regular army) is apparently fighting the Islamic Guard. The Artesh apparently has 3 times the soldiers, so we'll see what happens.

I do not know that asterisktom has read "The Protocols of the Elders...," though it is easily available on the Internet. However, that completely fictional Russian book is the source of much of the anti-Israel sentiment both throughout the 20th century, and now apparently in the 21st century. It...

What I read is that the RG is fighting the army. They are separate organizations. The army is much larger, and can easily defeat the RG and overthrow the terrorist government if they want to take it that far.
