I asked my Hebrew teacher Tova (a holocaust survivor) what does she think about what was going on in Israel. She said that the Jewish people have a saying "If someone spits in your face, you don't pretend like it is raining" which means if you are gonna try to murder me, I have a right to fight back...
I am sick and tired of all the (crybaby) media trying to blame Israel for simply defending her self. Tova said that no other Country on the face of the earth would stand for rockets and mortars being fired into their country, and yet Israel is supposed to do nothing.
It is time for all Jews and Non-Jews that believe in peace to stand with Israel at a time such as this.
My Rabbi has ordered a bunch of Israeli flags and I am gonna fly mine with pride to show my solidarity with the Jews and Israel....
Noach Green
Shalom!!
I agree Noah, and the flying of Israel's flag in a show of support is a great idea, IMO.
Now, where would I get one?
It seems to me that Prophecy is right on schedule. Right has become Wrong. Every nation in the world is allowed to defend itself, except Israel; the only nation to die, as a nation, and resurrect over 1,900 years later, in the same place it died (sort of like Messiah). Yep, I would say that Prophecy is right on schedule. Travail, anyone?
We must stand with Israel. As we see our 'National attitude' of support wanes, we must stand-up as individuals, to show our support, and offer up our prayers, that Hamas becomes a bad name in the history books.
In Messiah, His Shalom, and strength. Arley
Amen Noah but I think we should take the focus of Isra'el and place the whole blame on Hamas.
let me explain...
I don't know why there were demonstrations in support of Isra'el what they should have done is to call the protest against Hamas! The media painted it the other way as if we support and are happy about the collateral damage.
We should protest against Hamas and in so doing we would be better supporting Isra'el!
That is just my opinion.

Yes, we should rise up in OUTRAGE!! One
single united voice of CONDEMNATION AND OUTRAGE!
About Hamas:
I don't imagine they care what anyone else thinks -- so complain all you want, but I doubt if they would be the slightest bit willing to change their behavior.
I think Israel has it right, the only thing that works with Hamas (and Hizbollah,) is military might.
I use the tag "Duet_20-21" for a reason. Read Deuteronomy, chapters 20 and 21.
Just a few thoughts...
Each of us needs to be people who God can be comfortable with. Who God can enjoy living with. This begins by saying "yes" to Messiah Jesus. And ends by living for him.
I am so glad that God has allowed me to be a Christian! It is a real privilege -- and I think each of us need to be people that others can look at and desire what we have.
