Recognize Moral Responsibility

It is 2023 and Hamas terrorists in Gaza are 100% responsible for the violent death of innocent civilians who they use as shields.

When king David arranged for Uriah the husband of Bathsheba to be placed in the way of danger and be killed by the Ammonites, David thought that he was free of any moral responsibility of Uriah's death because he (David) was not the physical assailant.

However, God saw things differently and He held king David 100% responsible for what happened and punished him for it. The full story is in 2 Samuel chapters 11 and 12.

The Lord searches all hearts and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts (1 Chronicles 28:9).

He disappoints the devices of the crafty so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise. He takes the wise in their own craftiness and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong (Job 5:12-13).

Whoso causes the righteous to go astray in an evil way he shall fall himself into his own pit (Proverbs 28:10).

In 2023 Hamas terrorists in Gaza have caused the Israel Defence Force to go astray in an evil way.

Weaponised debates of any kind illustrate how futile it can be to use words like reasonable, expedient, advantageous, etcetera in a dialogue with any kind of opponent.

There is a maxim : Never explain, your friends will understand and your enemies will not believe you anyhow.

Superiority is always detested and reprobates always have an inferiority complex.

That is why sinners hate saints more than saints hate sinners. It is why Hamas hate Israel more than Israel hate Hamas. It is why Jesus Christ the Son of God was hated by his murderous enemies more than he despised them.

And it is why Cain the first murderer hated and killed his brother Abel.

The 5 most common names in the KJV Bible are God (4,125) Israel (2,318) Jesus (942) David (895) Moses (783).

Palestina is written 3 times. And as we can see, history has repeated itself. Just as Saddam Hussain appears to have been a geographic reincarnation of king Nebuchadnezzar, so likewise today's Palestinians appear to be a geographic reincarnation of the ancient Philistines who Samson and other Israelite heros slaughtered in great numbers at the same location, Gaza.
