WHY won't jews admit that jewish military forces are committing atrocities in Gaza ?

The Palestinians are fighting occupiers, whom DECLARED WAR on them, for their land and lives.Here is the true situation someone steals half your land and kills your people to get it, then they say you can keep the remainder they left you with, BUT they bring tanks and machine guns in,brutalize, rape, and murder poorly or unarmed home owners and continue stealing your land for buffer zones and settlements for ONLY their people, threatening to kill anyone else. Then they cut off your water, food, medicine, jobs, and kill more innocent civilians, while restricting your legally recognized and democratically elected government.Now, these people, whose land is being ILLEGALLY occupied are not strong enough to defend themselves and neither is their government. As a last ditch resort, terrorists move in to try to prevent total anihilation of their peoples.The readers fill in the names here and whom is doing what to whom? Whom is attempting to protect their lives and property from aggression, occupation(before the war) and to prevent total annihilation and you shall have your answer.

As for promised land - the promise that is the basis of the term "promised land" is contained in Genesis 15:18-21 of the Hebrew Bible:

"On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abrham and said, "To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates - the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites."

The verse is said to describe what are known as "Borders of the Land" (Gevulot Ha-aretz). In Jewish tradition these borders define the maximum extent of the land promised to the descendants of Abraham through his son Isaac(2nd born-the Jewish lineage and Ishmael the 1st born and the Arab lineage) and grandson Jacob.Even according to Jewish customs, the oldest son, which is Ishmael, is entitled to the father's inheritance, but because Sarah despised Ishmael, she wanted Isaac to get the inheritance and had Abraham exhile Ishmael.

The promise is made to Abraham and the descendants of his son Isaac, and Isaac's son Jacob, Abraham's grandson as they are all given promise that their descendants will be given a territory from the river of Egypt to the Euphrates river.No where does it say the Israelis/Jews OWNED the land, nor were they to take it from, and, kill the Palestinians. The Israelis/Jews were given a land ONLY to reside in as many Jews already had among the Palestinians.God clearly states whom the land belongs to-"the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites." Of all these people, only the Palestinians whom are considered Canaanites, are still around. Except for Iran and Israel, Arabs own all of what was Canaan.NOW DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE GOD WANTS THE JEWS/ISRAELIS TO KILL ALL THE ARABS TO TAKE THEIR LAND OR TO RESIDE AMONG THEM?

by Gardener for God(dmd) & by wambajes... -Please, read the following:

The Jews/Israelis claim they want Hamas, yet they have killed many times more civilians WITHOUT any Hamas even nearby-GO FIGURE.Kind of like O.J. looking for Nicole's killer.

The blood shed on BOTH sides must stop.Neither is right.

The problem here is that some people have a different agenda. The Zionist, Jewish regime in Israel has reacted disproportionately to the Hamas threat, and brutally entered Gaza, not caring who is killed. Children have died, not from shrapnel wounds, or bomb blast, as you would expect as collateral injuries, but by direct bullet fire - suggesting they were targets. The Zionist Jews in Israel must accept responsibility for this. Some people here are using this to express their hate for all Jewry worldwide, most of whom have no connection with Israel. Let's condemn the brutal actions of Israel in Gaza. Let's not allow the bigots to use this to pursue their Jew-hating agenda.

I agree. The arab muslims should be able to fire as many rockets as they want from Gaza without retaliation. Why doesn't anyone see that this makes perfect sense?

Also, I don't understand why it is not acceptable for men, women and children to have explosives strapped to their body and sent into Israel to be blown up. Who would object to that? If the arabs were so worried about the kids in Gaza why would they be launching their missiles from populated areas? They aren't concerned at all. In fact they take joy in these deaths because they can use them to try to garner sympathy against Israel.

Clean your own house first then maybe the west will listen to you. All we heard for years was, "All we want is a land for the Palestinians to call home. We won't bomb Israel and will recognize them if only they would give us land, then they can have peace" They were given Gaza and the Golan Heights. They are liars who won't rest until they push Israel into the sea. Why would you be surprised that Israel pushes back? What is surprising is how that small country, Israel, is able to exist being at war with so many enemies around them. It is as if God is blessing them....hmm.....

Why won't people admit that terrorists groups like hamas & Hezbollah hide in cities surrounded by innocent civilians where THEY START TO ATTACK ISRAEL , and when Israel fights back these terrorists use the surrounding civilians deaths to get the sympathy they don't deserve from people like you. That,s their F***ed up strategy and why don't you care about the Israeli citizens that are dying? Israel are not terrorists they are defending their country with no help from the UN as usual so I don't blame them for any of this. And I don't care about Palestinians because they have been harboring terrorists forever. Oh an if you are an American,guess what , Palestinians hate you too and don't care about your children and never will .

NO one thinks war is nice. No one wants to see women and children being killed.

But war is hell. Why did the Palestinians vote Hamas in? Why did they have children's TV shows teaching them how to be suicide bombers? Why did they have 4 year olds already brainwashed into hating Jews, and calling them dogs that should be killed???

They have been teaching those kids that to be martyred in this way is glorious! Their ticket directly to paradise!

WHY did Hamas deliberately put their weapons and all into homes and hospitals and mosques???

It's just so this would have happened- they can bomb restaurants and buses- women and children too but then the Bear gets mad and they cry foul??????

They knew this was coming years ago- but they kept poking the big bear with sticks.

WHY isn't Egypt letting them into their country? Fellow Arabs?

WHY can't the Arabs just leave Israel alone to live in their postage stamp size country?

This is a political question...there are many Christians that live in Israel as well as Jews. That being said, I am Catholic and if someone fired rockets into my town day after day, month after month, I think I would get a little pissed off too. The innocent people of Palestine need to rise up and squelch the war mongering Hamas types...then peace will reign.

Do some research on the Israeli/ Palestinian War. There have been atrocities on both sides. The Hamas militants don't care about the they say they are defending or else they would not base their rockets in civilian areas.

Blessed Be

The allies committed larger scale "atrocities" in Germany during WWII, sadly the alternative of not doing so was worse. The situation in Gaza is analogous.

Does a lion consider it atrocious when it slaughters a dog?

This **** has been going on for thousands of years--the difference between the Israelis and the Palestinians? The Israelis have better weapons.

I don't hate Palestinians - but let me ask you - why do YOU blind yourself to what HAMAS does?

HAMAS uses the Palestinian people as a shield, just as some of the other countries, Iran, Jordan, Syria, etc. use the Palestinians as a means to assault the people of Israel for reasons OTHER than land per say.

The people of Israel DEFEND themselves against the horrific atrocities committed by HAMAS against them. They have EVERY right to do so as well.

Maybe you should open your eyes and see that Hamas among the other terrorists and terrorist countries, are to blame, not Israel.
