No. Some of us see sharing the land as common sense.
Yes from a 31st century mindset. And the Arabs had their own land. And did nothing but hate on the Jews.
Some wars in history are hated by people. The mass killings by Germany, Stalin etc. People usually cringe when talking about the killing fields of Cambodia or Rwanda, the internment camps in Germany etc. Using something like the Napoleonic wars as an excuse for what happened in Rwanda would be farcical. The same holds true if you tried to use the battles of Alexander the Great with the mass murdering in Gaza.
War is pretty much always hated by the loser. But the point is it's been a part of human History since history has been a thing. It's how nations have been formed. It's how humans have done it through the eons. I attack you and take your land. Then someone else attacks me and takes mine. Then after a while another party comes along and takes it from them. War has always been seen as a way to get land and nation building. Yes we certainly will cringe today and back throughout history those being attacked didn't like it. But then they probably had taken it from someone else and where fine with it. That's humanity for you. I'll attack you and take your stuff because I'm good with that, but do y you dare and attack me and my stuff. It's a newer centuries mindset to say, you know what, maybe we shouldn't be taking anyone's stuff.
That does not excuse killing aid workers or children on purpose. Yes, tens of thousands of women and children were and are being killed on purpose. You don't get to say you bombed a city because they may have been a terrorist in a basement there.
Well if you are hiding or aiding a terrorist that's what happens. No not all the killings have been against terrorists or their supporters. But when terrorists or supporters are hiding among the populace with nothing to identify them as such this kind of thing is going to happen in a theater of war. It's not good, it would be great if it didn't happen, but does and I while I think it's very sad that children die, lost souls. The ones to blame are not the Jews. They didn't start it. And it was those very same children who were being taught to hate and murder the Jews. What do you think they would have grown up to be after 12 years of that? Instead of being taught how to grow an economy and live in peace, they are taught the art of war and death. They see the tickets being launched. They watch and join the cheering as dead Jews are dragged through the streets.
The purpose of armies and war is to kill people and break things. And keep killing people and breaking things until the enemy surrenders. Israel should keep it up. Because if you send in your army which purpose is to kill people and break things and then act shocked and dismayed that the army is killing people and breaking things, then that's irresponsible. It's foolish and ridiculous. You let the army do what's necessary to cause the surrender of your enemy. And if they don't then that's on them. Every single war in the history of the world was run this way. Well at least up until the 20th century when politicians started getting involved and didn't want the army killing people and breaking things until the enemy surrendered.
Alexander the Great did not move into a Roman suburb and start wiping them out and killing their kids etc. He used an army to attack other armies
That's because the Romans had an army to fight. They didn't run around their cities in civilian array attacking Alexander from schools and peoples houses and hospitals.
Also through deception, lies, Satanic power, and peace. The issue with Israel is that many claim that God gave them the land already, or protects them or is somehow with them.
Glad you agree that war is used to bring bout the peace. God did give them the land in perpetuity. And neither you nor I know what God has done to protect them.
Not really. The possessed wicked enemies gather to try and fight Jesus and He wipes them all out. Not a war in any real sense of the word. More like killing a fly.
Yes it's a war. A war doesn't have to be even to be called a war. They anti-Christ and the armies of this world make war on the Lamb and he wipes them out. He doesn't make peace with them.
There is no peace to maintain. The ones who are supposed to protect people have abrogated their duty to a large extent in many places such as Canada and the USA. The foxes are in charge of the henhouses. What is increasingly maintained by force is wicked people and wickedness and an assault on children and people. Lawlessness increases more and more.
While I agree on many of your points the peace I refer to is peace from attack from other nations. Germany, England, France etc are at peace from attacks from hostile nations much due to the armies and weaponry they and the US have. Peace is maintained by the knowledge that if someone attacks them there will be great war visited upon them. Something the Palestinians should have known. Russia attacked Ukraine because they knew the other nations would stay out it. There was no threat of the armies of the world coming against them. Peace is maintained by the power of the sword.
Dont get me wrong. I'm not trying to say that wat is great and we all ought to do it. I'm trying to say that war has been the way people have taken land and built nations throughout history. It's how Israel was built.
