Did God favor Nebuchadnezzar? What about Caesar Titus?So a sneak attack killing multiple hundreds of civilians is on par with whatever the Israelis have done or might do? Just because they are godless heathens.
Does God thus favor Hamas? Or does God hate Hamas and Israel both equally?
Yes according to mainstream media, everything you say is correct. The problem is, the MSM is not impartial. It doesn't allow any independent reports to be aired.Israel will literally hamper their own efforts in combating Hamas to spare innocent lives. There will be casualties because it is a war. But Israel has bent over backwards for the Arabs in that area and they are rewarded with the murder of innocent men, women, children and elderly.
I know what you mean, it would appear that some only understand war and violence. I have no problem with Israel going after those who attacked them.Some people only understand war/violence and the cold hard truth of war is that civilians die it is that sad and simple.
That would cost hundreds of Israeli soldier's lives.I just can't understand why Israel is now hell bent on slaughtering hundreds inocent baby's and children, who pose no risk to anyone. I'm sure the Israeli's are capable of sending ground forces into Gaza and hunting down the terrorists responsible for the attack.

It doesn't appear there is credible evidence of that. At least not yet.You realize that there were like 60 babies that were beheaded by Hamas and many children that were burned alive by them as well, right?
Like, it's no contest who is worse here.
As if Hamas could be isolated without harming civilians?Should Christians support Israel to kill more Hamas?
They have been at war for decades.I would say that Israel, at this point, has every right to go to war with Hamas. It is by definition a just war.

Whether that is "worth it" (for lack of a better term) might depend on one's take of well is better for 100s of combats to die or 100s of civilians. If in fact doing it that way would save more civilian lives than it would cost soldier/combatants lives then it may be worth it to say you know what let us do it that way . I know this is not the case in Israel as I am almost certain they have mandatory military service, but this would particularly be decent logic in places like the United States where currently there is NO actual conscription yes we have the selective service, but it is currently not active. It has not been active for decades that means that EVERYONE in ANY branch volunteered to serve. I understand that people do not sign up to die and it is not as if they want to, but at the same time if you sign up you have to go into it with the understanding that you may lose your life an yes you may be forced to take a life, HOWEVER there are also rules of war that state that even that comes with acceptable limits. You cannot simply kill anyone you see ( not that most soldiers do that, but even in war parties are supposed to try and limit the number civilians killed as much as possible and so the question becomes is it better to KNOW more combatants will die, but yet as few civilians will be affected as possible ( even though as you know and as I stated earlier some will die just the reality of life in a fallen world. or do you try to avoid as many combat deaths as you can knowing that actually in doing that way stats show that more civilians still die than combatants.That would cost hundreds of Israeli soldier's lives.
That means the sensibility in the US has no relevance in Israel.Whether that is "worth it" (for lack of a better term) might depend on one's take of well is better for 100s of combats to die or 100s of civilians. If in fact doing it that way would save more civilian lives than it would cost soldier/combatants lives then it may be worth it to say you know what let us do it that way .

Actually, it's not.
I'm not going to believe some random photograph plucked from the web.Okay, really? What would convince you? You sound like Dawkins with how skeptical you are about this.

I might be more likely to believe an official IDF report, even though the IDF is obviously an interested party...they are at least an identified interested party that can be held accountable for their statements.
And I'm also familiar enough with both the accusations and realities of American soldiers' actions against civilians in war, from the testimonies of soldiers themselves.
