    No land must be given to the Palestinians; no land should be given to the Palestinians. They occupy the land God gave to Israel, and God will punish those who divide the land which he gave Israel. I am sorry that the American government has this policy of land for peace, which Obama will almost certainly also pursue, having been a member of an ,anti-Christian anti-Israeli, anti-Jewish, anti-Americqn, pro-Hamas, pro-terrorist (Sandanistas) church for 24 years. I say this to the Israeli's: Talk, but never expect peace for land, and NEVER give up the land God gave you to the Palestinians, a terrorist people under God's curse.

      Hi issachar, I wish you a happy yom kippour
      having said that, I just want to mention that you adopt exactly the same discourse as Hamas leaders

        Thank you, TunisianStoicist. I have never celebrated yom kippour, but many Christians have begun to celebrate the Jewish holidays. I have begun to learn of them, and will celebrate within my abilities and understanding. I hardly think Hamas and I have much in common in our thinking. THey derive their thoughts from evil intent, mine comes from understanding the purpose and intent of God. God loves each of us, including you TunisianStoicist . When God took human form (the Messiah), his sacrifice on the cross became OUR "blood sacrifice" to cover our sin. All that is required of you is that you accept his "once for all sacrifice" for MAN, including you. Accepting Jesus as your saviour will change your heart, and you will love God, as you grow closer to him. I will pray for you, TunisianStoicist , that the Holy Spirit of God, which the Messiah sent upon earth when he left it, will convict your heart of his love for you, and you will accept HIM into your heart. Bless you.

    My friend you should be advocating peace in these times of war of words and death of innocent people on both sides.

    When you say Land was given by God to Israelis, you must be kidding right, in todays world you have to have a title to prove that you own that land but if you just occupy people's houses and lands that is called stealing and God punish people that steal other people's properties.

      The original story by Kevin Peraino told of a Palestinian family injured by a very mean spirited Israeli boy; the boy should have been prosecuted for the evil that he did. Peace is not possible with the Palestinians. Every accommodation of land, or other considerations, just encourages Palestinian hatred. Their hearts are hardened by God, just as Pharoh's heart was hardened before finally releasing Israel from Egyptian control. The problem with Israel is that, having conquered their land, in accordance with God's will, they failed to remove ALL Palestinians from that land. They did the same thing when first occupying the land of Canaan when first fulfilling God's will thousands of years ago. It was a mistake then, and is a mistake now. The land is Israeli by right of conquering it. If you are able to read the bible, you MIGHT be able to discern that the soon to be Russian Alliance will be 5/6 destroyed in an area occupied by Palestinians. I strongly urge Palestinians who love their families to leave this area, and not be a part of the continuous intifada that has been waged against Israel.

    issachar5 is just another Zionist zealot.If god approves of what the Israeli's and the rest of the Jewish community is doing,then i don't want to know God.FREE PALESTINE!

      I suspect, strongly, that you, indeed, do not know God; in fact, I doubt very much that you will ever know him. I feel very sorry for you. In the old testament, Israel was given the order of sacrifices to cover sin; without the shedding of blood (sacrifice), there is no remission of sin. THe sacrifices have not occurred since the destruction of the timple in 69AD. When God took human form (the Messiah), his blood was shed for the remission of sin "for all those who would accept Him". I hope that you will accept his vicarious sacrifice, for this will change your heart to love the things of God.
