Raymond, This is an old thread with allot of history concerning the middle east and especially Israel. Maybe some background reading could help you to understand better what the intent is behind these posts. The Jewish people as well as their religion and country have been attacked constantly and I as you just did am defending the people and religion I am familiar with. All religions and groups of people have to bear the actions of a small percentage that claim that group. Christianity has a long history of persecution of especially the Jews and other groups. Also, they have extremist within the group like Jim Jones to bear with. It is true I am not intimately involved with Islam but I do understand that there are terrorist within that group. Tim McVeigh did not claim religous reasons for the bombing if he had they would have jumped on the anti-Christian platform that is more active here than the anti-Islam platform. As I have so often stated the entire group of people do not support these acts and are kind and good people. However Israel is accused here of killing many innocent people and my true point is that it is a struggle there that we who do not live there can fully understand. I empathize your feelings for these people but please understand that I am coming from the same emotion. There is very little understanding of the Jewish situation and very little interest in understanding from most people. I apologize if it has offended you but the intent was not to hurt anyone but to express some concerns of people I know that do live there. Would you support the statements made here that the majority of Palestinans are Christian? I find statements like that to be ridiculous and used to further the hatred here for the Jews. In the past my husband and I have said we do not want to be labeled as Christian but as Jews that follow Yeshua as the Messiah. The reason for this is the association with so many extremist including the white sepremist etc... So I know that the majority in each group are innocent of the extremist and are gentle people. Again, I apologize for offending or insulting anyone but encourage everyone to take it in context with the post and the entire dialog about Israel. Welcome to the Ask God thread and hope you are prepared for allot more than this. Nancy
