Yup, it keeps getting worse.

And please, don't feel the need to get defensive, just mourn the dead.

Nothing to be defensive about. Israel is just defending itself.


p.s. If you are part of a group throwing hand grenades, you aren't a civilian...

They have no Christ in their faith (turn the cheek, love your enemies and neighbors - sermon on the mount) both the Jews and the Muslims so I’m not surprised at all. If Israel was a Christian nation this wouldn’t have happened.

Mourn who? The Palestinians burning tires that pollute the air with dangerous carcinogens over Israel? The Palestinians throwing grenades at Israelis? The Palestinians filling balloons with helium and floating incendiaries over Israelis and starting fires?
The Palestinians filling balloons with helium and floating incendiaries over Israelis that explode? The Palestinians crossing a border fence to cause mayhem and damages to the other side? The Palestinians crossing a border fence to kidnap Israelis? The Palestinians firing rockets across the fence at civilian areas?

No... you're right. If folks were throwing hand grenades and fire bombs at us Christians here in 'Murica, we'd just stand there with our fingers up our... well, you know. We might say, "Bless you, children," as the shrapnel tore through our angel's clothing.

Unfortunately Israel doesn't see Palestinians as Israeli citizens.

Christian nations killed in one week of ww2 more than the whole israel-arab conflict.

Who feels the need to get defensive? Israel does what it has to do to protect itself. If they don't, who will?

Trump has given them complete power to do anything they want while also giving them endless billions of dollars (yet he complains about UN nations and is silent on Israel). Trump is taken away every single bit of aid to the Palestinians, even money for food and hospitals. His daughter and son in law are Jewish and Trump has decided Israel gets everything, the Palestinians get nothing and there is no two state solution. Young Palestinians will suffer the most. As we know, Republicans only care about the fetus, not the child.

Honestly? Not our problem. We need to stop giving both parties any aid, or being involved in their problem. We should not be the world police. The amount of influence that Israel has on American politics is insane. If they had to face their neighbors alone without us, maybe they would try and get along better. And if Palestine had no external support, maybe they would too.
