The Truth about the Israel and Palestine Situation

What is happening between the people and nation of Israel and the people of the area called Palestine, is a perfect example of how utterly corrupt the people of the earth are….a perfect example of this truth…

“And this is the condemnation, that the people of the earth love the darkness rather than the light because their deeds are evil.”

Let’s start our observations with Israel. The people who claim to be the descendants of Jacob or Israel, and who identify with that blood line and who live in the nation called “Israel” are not a perfect people. They are not “God’s chosen people” from my perspective as a follower of Jesus of Nazareth…rather, all who place their faith in the Light are chosen! The Jewish have their flaws, weaknesses, faults and imperfections like all other people of the earth. Their leaders do not make perfect decisions all the time. There are those individuals who identify as Jews, and who live in the nation of Israel, who are filled with hatred for other people and would like to harm or destroy those they consider their enemies or see them humiliated.

However, it must be noted that these individuals – Jews who hate other people – are a vast minority in Israel. The ‘Jews-who-hate’ do not characterize nor set the moral tone of the larger people group of the people of Israel. In fact, it could be argued that for democratic nations – that is those nations which allow all the people the opportunity to choose their leaders – Israel has fewer hate-filled people as a percentage of their populace than many other democratic nations including the U.S.

The people of Israel have a consistent moral standard which they individually try to observe. Their moral standard as generally practiced, would include these principles:

• Do not hate others – “hatred” being defined as considering people who are different than you as worthy of harm or bad treatment;
• Do not initiate violence towards others, even towards those who hate you;
• Do not persecute others who have different beliefs about God;
• Killing civilians who are peaceably going about their day is morally reprehensible and barbaric;
• Restraint against aggressors and those who threaten you is morally superior to vengeance;
• Raising and indoctrinating one’s children to hate and murder other people is not only a terrible immorality, but is the furthest thing from the average Jewish Israeli’s mind.

In this author’s opinion, this is a fair characterization of the GENERAL moral standard that the MAJORITY of people who identify as Jews, have held since at least the formation 70 years or so ago of the geo-religio-political entity that is Israel.

Examples for the proof that the people of Israel hold to, and practice these moral principles, would be the following:

• Israel allows people who identify as Arab or Muslim to live in Israel. If the leaders of Israel harbored hatred towards Arabs or Muslims, those who identify as part of larger people groups who are hostile towards Israel, would not be allowed to be part of Israeli society;
• The Jews in Israel have a type of democratic government and allows Arabs and Muslims to be elected as political leaders in the nation;
• There are no religious or political sects within Israel that practice violence towards other sects within Israel nor who initiate violence towards other groups outside of Israel;
• Israel is surrounded by people in nations who openly state that a primary ideology that they hold is that the people and nation of Israel should be destroyed. Instead of using their superior armies to destroy these groups of people, Israel allows them to live right next to them and on land that could reasonably be argued the descendants of Jacob have a rightful claim to.
• The current understanding of God by Jews does not include God wanting them to initiate or wage war against other people groups who are not actively threatening them.
• There has never been an example of some Jewish sect or significant group of people who openly teach their children to hate and murder Arabs. This would not be tolerated by the larger Israeli society if it was attempted.

If one reviews the educational system of Israel, one will not find content that advocates or promotes violence towards other people groups. If one visits Israel, one will not find groups of people publically celebrating violence or encouraging hatred towards other people. That is to say that there is NO COLLECTIVE initiating aggression in Israeli society towards other people groups, and if there is any, it is directed at those people groups who are openly calling for – and acting upon – the destruction of the Jewish nation and people.

All readers should validate the points above to see if they are true. Of course, one should select relatively objective sources to evaluate the things that I am saying in this article. Unfortunately, as we shall see, it is difficult to find objective sources when it comes to the Jewish people.

What about the people who occupy the land surrounding the nation of Israel, the people that are currently called the Palestinians? What is the moral standard of that people? If one had to summarize their moral standards, what would they be? Any OBJECTIVE observer, who has a conscience and the ability to judge human morality, would reach the following conclusions regarding the GENERAL moral ‘standards’ of the Palestinian people:

• Hating others is acceptable, especially Jews;
• Using violence against those you hate or to gain material things is acceptable;
• Those who have a different view of God should be at a minimum looked down upon and treated as second-class citizens, and at worst are worthy of death (a common Muslim view);
• For a significant and accepted/tolerated minority, believing you will be rewarded by God to hate, persecute, subjugate or kill the ‘infidels’ (those who don’t believe that Allah is God), is good and right (a common Muslim view);
• For the non-religious, killing those who you perceive as your enemies is a noble pursuit;
• For the majority of people, it is OK if your relative or neighbor is one of the Jew-haters, just as long as you don’t have to kill someone yourself;
• Lying for selfish purposes is an acceptable ‘ethic’.

Examples for the proof that the people of Palestine IN GENERAL hold to, and practice these immoral principles, would be the following:

• A Jew might last a few days if he or she tried to live in the Palestinian territories;
• The Palestinians form of government is essentially a monarchy with enough democratic trappings to convince donors to continue sending money. Even the thought that a Jew could be any kind of a leader among the Palestinian people is anathema to the Palestinians;
• Hamas, a group of Muslims who believe Mohammed’s teachings about jihad and who believe that the people and nation of Israel should be destroyed, was voted by the majority of people of Palestine to rule the whole group of people;
• There are no surrounding nations that threaten the lives of the Palestinian people, and yet their collective self-view of victimhood by the “occupiers” (their label for the Jews living in Israel) permeates the people and the culture;
• When the Palestinians initiate more violence towards Jews and thus cause a retaliatory act by the Jews, the Palestinians often perpetrate the acts of violence against the Jews from civilian parts of their territory including in, or in close proximity to, schools or hospitals. Or, if the Israeli’s retaliate from an initiating aggression, those Palestinians who initiated the violence will hide themselves among women and children to protect themselves.
• Perhaps worst of all and as dark as human beings can get, significant groups of Palestinians on some regularity, have open public ‘celebrations’ when Jews are murdered by their Mohammed’s martyrs (see Islam, Terrorism and Muhammud), and those celebrations have included young children dressed as suicide bombers.

The fundamental falsehood that is used as the justification for the constant animosity and aggression towards Jews in Israel from surrounding Arab people is the Arab’s belief that the Jews occupying the land of Israel, have no “right” to that land…that the land belongs to the Arabs, also labeled ‘Palestinians’. Instead of writing another book showing the claim is not grounded in history, let us ask two important questions:

• How much land do the Arab people control in what is called the Middle East and specifically surrounding Israel? Many hundreds of times more than Israel.
• How much oil do those Arab nations control and profit from? Most of the earths.

So, to paint a clear picture, the Palestinians are surrounded by nations that claim to be their Arab ‘brethren’…surrounded by nations that have more decent land and oil money than they know what to do with…and yet all the surrounding Arab nations will not provide a place for their ‘brethren’. Instead, those Arab people – most of which have Islam as their religion – want their brethren, the Palestinians, to fight the Jews for those few acres of land! If you can’t smell something fishy, then you don’t possess a sense of smell.

And here is where the true darkness of the people of the earth is evident. If a person can look at videos of young children being taught to kill other human beings; AND that young child is in a public parade type setting being supported and encouraged by thousands of adults; AND the person watching that video cannot make a simple moral judgment – that that people group is grossly immoral, barbaric and inferior to another people group who does not do that – then truly that person is in the deepest moral darkness that exists.

Any people who celebrate the unjustified killing of other people…who indoctrinate their children with murderous hatred of other people…are no better than the worst kind of cold-blooded murderer. And any person who is aware of people who do that and don’t speak against it, is a cold-hearted and blind fool.

The few facts in this brief article are undeniable for anyone who wants to objectively verify them. And yet, the “United Nations” which represents the people of the earth – or at least their elected or sent representatives – roundly condemns Israel by a significant majority when votes come up concerning Israel.

The simple morals truths are right in front of your face. You are either part of the problem, or part of the solution. You don’t have to believe in the Jew’s God in order to make a proper moral judgment of those two people groups. All you have to be is a human with a working conscience and the ability to reason.

When the above situation exists – where one people group is morally superior to another people group – and the majority of the people of the earth side with the immoral people group, then does that not validate the words of the Light of the world?

“And this is the condemnation, that the people of the earth love the darkness rather than the light because their deeds are evil.”

Are you one of the dead souls who only cares about your own material well being? Is all that matters to you summed up in, ‘if I am comfortable, entertained and have the material things I want, then life is good’? Are you one of the many who are trapped in a cage of selfishness, and thus think or say things like, “oh, well, I can’t do anything about that? I just need to take care of myself and those I get something from.”?

If you can see yourself for what you are, then why not come out of being of the darkness? Why not remove yourself from self-condemnation and enter into Life? Why not become a good and decent human being and care about what is true and right and help others do the same? Why not come and follow the Light? Why not join the peaceful revolution!
