There is also the fact that the Lord's covenants were made not with various and sundry descendents of Abraham, but specifically with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And if the Palestinians can't get along with the Israelis, they should emigrate elsewhere. That's what conquered people do.deuffagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16333914472158427066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2582907091331646185.post-9917895524425127102014-08-12T15:51:06.699-06:002014-08-12T15:51:06.699-06:00I loved this post (and your blog).

I wish more people could read this and gain a greater understanding of the situation in the Middle East.Corinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04639620254429225563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2582907091331646185.post-34169144422070429232014-07-31T17:04:00.348-06:002014-07-31T17:04:00.348-06:00I appreciate your insight and wisdom on this topic...I appreciate your insight and wisdom on this topic with this post and your remarkable 1998 BYU speech. (Lesa and I re-listened to it last Sunday.) I may never truly understand even a portion of the problem but while there's a lot of gray area and complexity, if nothing else Abraham's posterity are consistently and clearly obstinate and the description of Jerusalem as that "burdensome stone" is surely prophetic.

We need more people who can see both sides intelligently, and can see that taking any of the traditional sides will only perpetuate the conflict.David Fergusonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16702715957910571195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2582907091331646185.post-78275262510973050322014-07-23T00:08:10.163-06:002014-07-23T00:08:10.163-06:00Great post, Uncle Chad.

Now it is crazy to see how far it continues to escalate. Thanks for all of your research on the subject as we all hope for a better tomorrow.

These two people, living cheek to cheek, even with their own state but separated by a wall means only lasting war. Zionism (A Jewish State) was a bad idea born long before the holocaust. For a future world of peace the goal we must be inclusiveness not separatism. If American ideals stand for anything, they stand for non discrimination and equality. These are not possible under the Jewish State concept which ironically breeds the very antisemitism it claims to protect itself from. The US holds the reins to peace. No more 3 billion a year in military aid until Israel stops illegal settlements. No more support for the requirement that the Palestinians accept the title 'Jewish State'. Then we go from there.Terence at CRShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03243085024904786182noreply@blogger.com
