65 years!? Many, many different groups have been scrapping over that patch of sand for thousands of years!

Jericho and the Canaanites (basically Palestinians)
Samson and the Philestines (basically Palestinians) - who also lost a beloved temple, by the way.
etc, etc.

I guess all is fair in no love and war, though it might be politic to lay off the chosen people/master race rhetoric.

The soldier vs. 'innocent' civilian rhetoric is also disingenuous. All citizens* benefit from the society they prosper in, unless they actively oppose it.
Civilians are just the ones with cushy jobs that let others do the dirty work and take the brunt (usually).

*And remember, Palestinians are only, at best, second-class citizens in Israel. If they were given full citizenship the Jews wouldn't have a majority to run the country as an ethnic-religious apartheid state.

Point of correction though: Sodom and Gomorrah weren't destroyed to punish humans for doing gay stuff. Their destruction was more broadly about fornication, promiscuity and otherwise disrespecting the sanctity of marriage. It was also specifically in response to the Sodomites attempting to rape the angels visiting them.

Actually a point of contemporary atheistic reinterpretation.

Considering that Leviticus 18:22 is even more explicit about homosexuality being considered an abomination, it is quite doubtful that Yahweh & Co. were giving the Sodomites & Gomorrahians a free pass on gay sex (along with the fire and brimstone).

You mean like the Zionists having been doing to the Palestinians for the last 65 years? Why are you only angry when Palestinians engage in self-defense?

I’m not angry.

It’s beyond my control… so I don’t tend to get riled up either way.

That said I don’t take pleasure in the death of non-combatants… the way you seem to be doing.

I'm only taking pleasure in Palestinian self defense. In fact I'm very glad Pal forces are seeking to minimize non combatant casualties by, for instance, relocating Israelis into Gaza to disincentize Israel from attacking Palestinian residential areas. This one action will have the greatest impact in minimizing the death toll.

October 8, 23 Adoration

Message from Jesus

I see people with hearts broken and hurt. Come to me The Great Healer. Approach my merciful heart and be healed. Come and bow down and receive the healing you so look for. I am The Great Healer the world does not know. I come with saving mercy for all who approach me. Come and be healed with my merciful love. I say, you read Scripture of healings that happened so long ago. I still heal today. Come and believe.

I’m fine not waiting to stand up against the idea of attacking non-combatants, especially with sneak attack methods.

This is why Muslims learn Arabic and study the Quran in Arabic. Translating the word of God into languages other than the one it was passed down in corrupts and distorts it.
It's the intolerant and bigoted interpretations that are contemporary reinterpretations, dreamt up by Westerners to fit into their eugenicist, mysoginist world view.

What?? So that's why modern, Arabic-speaking, Islamic countries (and also conservative/Orthodox Hebrew-speaking Jewish communities) are so tolerant and accepting of Homosexuality and Gay Sex. Even at first glance, your statements don't add up.

Sorry, Confed, but you have this completely backwards.

Very little of this is about America, but to the extent that this is about America, it's all on Trump.

Before Trump, moderate forces in Iran were on the rise. Democracy was solidifying, the power of the Ayatollahs was weakening by the day. By now, Iran could have been on our side.

Trump tore up the road map to peace with Iran. Almost overnight, the tables turned, the moderates in Iran were crushed, and the extremists were back in the saddle. Trump, and Trump alone, put the Iranian extremists back in power.
