As long as Palestinians are under military occupation, I will endorse the armed struggle to liberate themselves. Just as I would endorse the armed struggle our fathers made during the revolutionary war. Just like the armed struggle the French made against King Louis XVI.
A number of years ago, when the Lord was dealing with me about the 'Jewish' Star of David, my heart was bound up in the symbol. Being raised Jewish it had much emotional meaning for me. When someone first suggested that it wasn't kosher, and that I look into its history, I became defensive. But, I did, and the more I looked into the matter, the more I became convinced that I could not, in good conscience, continue to use it on my stationary (letterhead and synagogue card), or wear it, because it was not a biblical symbol but a pagan one. At best, it was a profane (common), ordinary symbol, the innocent placing of two triangles together. At worst, it was taken from the occult and introduced into Judaism by the Kabala.1 But Kabala picked it up from the occult.
I found the following information upon a book marker. It read that the Star of David was, 'In use for many centuries and in many cultures, the original hexagrams were a part of ritual magic and cabalistic mysticism. It was only about two hundred years ago that the Star of David was appropriated as symbol of the Jewish people.'2
That's not exactly what you want to read concerning something you wear around your neck or use on your stationary. In The New Standard Jewish Encyclopedia, under 'Magen David' (Hebrew for Shield of David, a common term for the Star of David), this article appears, quoted at length:
'(Heb. 'Shield of David'): Mystical symbol consisting of two superimposed triangles forming a star or hexagram; today regarded as a Jewish symbol. Although occurring in the Capernaum synagogue (3rd cent. CE), it was in ancient times predominantly a non-Jewish decorative motif (e.g. on Roman mosaic pavements), and is found in Christian churches in the Middle Ages, while absent from contemporary Jewish decoration and not mentioned in rabbinic literature.

South Africa got the idea for Apartheid from the Zionists.
Lady Gaga got the idea of the meat dress from the Zionists.
A lot of really bad ideas came from the Zionists.
I think you are proving my point.

You're becoming very sloppy.
you forgot to mention that Zionism is responsible for the 2004 tsunami, Eyjafjallajökull eruption, and latest Coronal mass ejections.

Immune, you're not alone, just out numbered. I stand with Israel. In all things "Israel" you must remember that it is a spiritual war against her, and for a good portion of people on this site there is an active aggression and hatred for those who remind them that there might actually be an entity who will hold them accountable for the things they do in life. Israel is the physical reminder to their subconscience that the Creator DOES exist. I find that those who rant against her fall into two categories: people who just hate Jews and people who have believed the propaganda put out about Israel. Neither group is capable of discerning the truth of the matter because of their internal struggle with mindless hatred. The really sad part is that many of these deluded individuals are the first in line to accept the existence of the powers and entities which manifest from the evil side of this spiritual battle, yet mention the Creator, and they have venom-spewing meltdown. ("Sorry" to those of you for whom I've caused a brain aneurism---it's my opinion and I'm still entitled to it.)

That entity you mention (if it exists) will also punish the israelis for all the evil THEY'VE done too. also, your entity must be damned petty if he gets involved in land disputes..you'd think a creator of universes would have more pressing matters to deal with. oh, damn, there I go using logic and common sense again..*bad poster *whack.

For comparison . . . what were the living conditions of these same people before the Jews . . . err . . . Zionists took control of the area?
