Palestinian father uses his son as bait, trying to get the IDF to shoot the child.

[asterisktom]

Really? That seems odd given the Palestinians are the underdogs here and Israel is behaving like the schoolyard bully towards them.

Yes, the Palestinians are currently and have been historically the underdogs.

For a very enlightening background to the Israeli occupation of Palestine I strongly recommend "The Israel-Palestine Conflict" by Jeremy R. Hammond. Available as a free Pdf.

Baloney. The entire Arab world plus Iran, Afghanistan and Iraq wants to annihilate the Jews. Nobody is looking to eliminate the Arabs that call themselves palestinians.

The Jews are outnumbered 1000 to 1, or worse. Their very existence is threatened. The only thing threatening their enemies is themselves.

 

[carpro]

In that case I don't think anyone here hates Jews. So the charge of anti-Semitism is s straw man and should be treated as such.
.

Just the Brits. 70% of Brits are negative toward Jews and specifically, Israel. From the posts I see by brits here, all of them are in the 70%.

Baloney. Nobody is looking to annihilate the so called palestinians. Yet, it is the goal pf the palestinians and almost all their muslim brothers to annihilate the Jews. The odds against Israel are astronomical.

Yet , there they are. I'm tremendously proud of them and their ability to survive in such a hostile atmosphere. They are a lot kinder to their enemies than I would be.

Propaganda is not education. I am not surprised that you confuse one for the other.

Last word goes to you, I suppose. Putting you on ignore.

Exactly. And neither is indoctrination.

I have seen people here calling the Palestinians "Scum" and "Animals" and other terms of abuse; To me that makes you just as bad as them. as you have murder in your hearts.

• Exodus 34:4 And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.
• 5 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.
• 6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,
• 7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that wih was sent to Nineva to preach repentance. They were Assyrians and one of the most blooll by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.

The Assyrians were most evil nations in the OT. Jonah ran in the opposite direction as he didn't want the Assyrians to repent and be saved.

God sent him again and Jonah preached the word of God and they repented. Was Jonah pleased that they did? No

• Jonah 4:1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.
• 2And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.
• 3Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live

Jonah didn't want the Assyrians to repent and their city to be saved. He quoted Exodus.

Take a lesson from Jonah. Our sermon this evening was on Jonah, but Palestine wasn't mentioned. He knew that God had mercy and grace to sinners who repent.

Perhaps you should be going to Palestine and preaching to them.

I'm not talking about "The entire Arab world". I'm talking about the Palestinians, the subject of this thread. Please stay on topic.

Nobody is looking to eliminate the Arabs that call themselves palestinians.

.Except the IDF, who are today bombing them. Again.

The Jews are outnumbered 1000 to 1, or worse. Their very existence is threatened. The only thing threatening their enemies is themselves.

Sorry, I missed the bit where "themselves " shot one of their own nurses dead. Looked like the IDF from the footage I've seen. So you're talking "baloney" (your word).

Well the IDF are sure giving it a try.

Care to produce evidence to back that up? That 70% of Brits are negative to Jews (as opposed to many Brits quite rightly criticising the Israeli government and IDF; to spell it out again for you, this is not the same as being anti-Jewish)?

It's impossible to separate the two.

Ridiculous overstatement. Or an outright lie.

Which is it?

Of course not.

. .Except the IDF...

Totally false statement.

The IDF has never tried to annihilate the palestinians nor stated they wanted to. That cannot be said about the palestinians. They have openly advocated the annihilation of the Jews.

 

[Reynolds]

Ever notice how much the Brits here are so full of anti semitism? Wonder if it's because they tried, but failed to stop the birth of the modern state of Israel?

Probably so. They sure seem to hate Israel.

 

[Reynolds]

Obviously, if the IDF wanted to annihilate the Palestinians, the Palestinisns would have been dead long ago.

No. Israel is defending themselves somewhat similar to the way we defended ourselves against your tyrany.
