Than you mr. Lieberman for your humanity. It is sending chills down my spine. My mother said we were not even bombed like that although our people also resist against the oppression.
1. Instead of judging n condemning Israel and it's actions these past 100 years in the Middle East,
... a better way of seeing the wars and atrocities happening today is by going further back in time,
... going back to 3000BCE,
... and asking some simple questions.
2. QUESTION 1.
WHO OWNS THE LAND IN THE MIDDLE EAST, FROM THE SEA TO THE RIVER.?
Let's turn to Joel 3 vv 1 to 2.
JOEL3:1-2.
1 “In those days and at that time,
when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 I will gather all nations
and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat.
There I will put them on trial
for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel,
because they scattered my people among the nations
and divided up my land.
ANSWER TO QUESTION 1.
God says the land from the sea to the river is MY LAND.
3. QUESTION 2....
TO WHOM HAS GOD GIVEN THE LAND AND FOR HOW LONG.?
Let's read Joshua 1 VV 1 to 6
JOSHUA 1:1-6
1 After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ aide:
2 “Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them—to the Israelites.
3 I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses.
4 Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates—all the Hittite country—to the Mediterranean Sea in the west.
5 No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.
6 Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.
ANSWER TO QUESTION 2.
God has given the land from the Sea to the River to the Israelites.
... It is His land and by an oath, God has given this land to a group of people.
Can we accept the fact that God, who created the heavens n the earth,
... has chosen to give the land under dispute today to the Jewish nation?
If you can, and if all men can accept this fact, then all disputes are settled.
3. QUESTION 3.
...FOR HOW LONG IS THE LAND OF CANAAN GIVEN TO THE ISRAELITES?
For the answer, let's turn to psalm 105...
PSALM 105:8-11
8 He remembers His covenant forever,
the word He ordained for a thousand generations—
9 the covenant He made with Abraham,
and the oath He swore to Isaac.
10 He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree,
to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
11 “I will give you the land of CANAAN as the portion of your inheritance.”
ANSWER TO QUESTION 3.
God has given the land to the Israelites through an everlasting covenant, for a 1000 generations.
If you have a problem with the answer, bring your grievances to God.
The answer does not imply that the Israelites do not sin and that they have not massacred others in war.
All men have sinned, including Jews n gentiles.
.... And all men need a Saviour to save us from our sins.
.... This is the true n secret meaning of Christmas..
ISAIAH 9 V 6,7
6 For unto us a child is born,
unto us a son is given,
and the government will be upon His shoulders.
And He will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of His government and peace
there will be no end.
He will reign on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish and sustain it with justice and righteousness from that time and forevermore.
The zeal of the LORD of Hosts will accomplish
4. QUESTION 4.
DO YOU WANT TRUE JUSTICE N PEACE IN THE PROMISES LAND, FROM THE SEA TO THE RIVER?
ANSWER..
Read the above verses again, n there you will find your answer.
The answer is in a person, not in some peace treaty or in resolutions.
1. The facts concerning the atrocities committed by Israel in their wars are true n cannot be denied.
2. However atrocities have always been committed by all parties in a war.
Poles n Russians were massacred ruthlessly in WW 2, the Vietcongs in the Vietnam-USA war, the deaths of civilians in Afghanistan caused by the USA n their allies, including Australia, the Nanjing Massacre, etc.
So the Israeli approach to war is nothing strange to the people of all nations.
So can we start with such a historical background concerning present atrocities in war?
If we do so, we will acknowledge that no country is innocent of committing atrocities in war.
Your post leaped out and grabbed me by the throat. It is excruciating to be an American Jew who believes in Israel, yet cannot abide by these horrific, ongoing acts.
Keep writing and we'll keep reading and learning. Thank you.
But I can get her account and then tell it over, if that is ok with you.
Sure, just keep it simple. Eager to hear it.
Thank you. She is sleeoing now. I will jump on it first thing tomorrow. Good day to you.
Hello mr Lieberman,
I was 2 years old when we got liberated. So I cannot really remember how it was. What I know is from my mom and family.
Than you mr. Lieberman for your humanity. It is sending chills down my spine. My mother said we were not even bombed like that although our people also resist against the oppression.
Augusta, you seem to have a story that we should all hear. Can you elaborate on your own experience of resistance.
Two wrongs don't make a right. What happened to humanity? What happened to diplomacy? Dan, your writing rings true.
