How about response to over a weeks worth of attacks by rockets and mortars.
Let us not forget, the Hamas were warned, more than once what would happen if "THEY" continued to attack's daily.
Now the Hamas get their military response to "THEIR" constant attacks and now they cry like stuck pigs.
Anyone looking at it reasonably will see a military attack (by the Hamas) begets a military response (from Israel).
They deserve all they get.
When group one makes war on group two, then group two militarily kicks their arse, then group one whines like they are victim’s, instead, as we all know, as the aggressor's who started this.

Isn't Iran planning on delivering aid to Palestine in a few days? I think that will be when things get interesting. If they try to bypass the Israeli blockade and Israel chooses to sink the ship, things could escalate quickly.

Let me ask you something. How many Israeli's died in that week long rocket attack by Hamas?
How many Palestines have died in the last 24 hours and how many more will die with this ongoing attack by a nation just defending itself?
Lets break out the numbers and see if a weeks worth of rocket attacks by Hamas has been paid in full yet with this defending of Israel attack.
Why should Israel...or any country subject to random missile strikes in civilian areas be bound to 'proportionate response'?
The way to stop a bully permantly is by making him unable to...period.

a group of ardent believers, followers, (most look to be as old as modern Israel, born in 1948) are pushing "The Psalm 83 Arab Israel War is Coming" ....
click the available page links to access the 'isralestine.blog.blogspot.com'
and there is a daily menu of free reading...
you'll find that "isralestine" is not the greater israel of bible prophecy
isral-estine (note the spelling) will span from Nile to Euphrates and include most GulfStates oil fields, most of the eastern mediterranian coast, etc, etc... bringing peace & stability to the USA & western world as far as i discern from their visionary world setting.

And this doesnt occur on the opposite side of the fence with the drum beats of other religions all saying the same things?
This is why mankind has been held back and in turmoil...religions.

Absolutely...Christianity. Show me where that religion has not tried to spread its influence upon the world, and at times, violently.
Example...does "Inquisition" ring a church bell?

If this is true, then why are so many Christians insistant on saying that the USA was founded on Christian beliefs? Why does a president, who leads a nation of diverse religious beleifs, quotes only Christian prayers in his speeches?

Yes it would be thocracy. And your right about Christianity does not force people to pray or force people to become Christians...but that was not always the case...ie Inquisition.

If people are to be forgiven for sin, why is so many scripture saying wrath of God this, condem that, just note the scriptures quoted in the other thread.

You just said that Christian belief does not involve government or involve itself in swaying people's decision, yet right there you are also saying that it does play a role as long as its within the Christian form..not exact words but that is what you are implying. That is called a double standard.

I dont worry about it therefore I dont have any concern that would be considered unfounded because I dont happen to believe in any religion at all. I have my own beliefs and I am quite happy with them and feel great!
