One of my fellow teachers went to school at BJU and has high respect for the school and for Dr. Bob Jr. Thanks for the insight. <br /><br />I knew a Presbyterian missionary (now deceased) who had less respect for the government of Israel than he did for that of Jordan because of the way the Israeli government treated the Christians. It's not as lopsided as everything in the states thinks it is.Matt C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09618869990149038552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3977100651062963844.post-2672188420247589362014-08-01T17:24:16.344-05:002014-08-01T17:24:16.344-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Matt C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09618869990149038552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3977100651062963844.post-47684490725411444002014-07-29T11:48:21.959-05:002014-07-29T11:48:21.959-05:00Gerry, I really enjoy reading your essay.

Nations are often formed as a consequence of some bloody genocide or other, after all.<br /><br />Sometimes, though, a nation commits mass murder not so much because its own people are in any direct way threatened, but rather out of national interest or regional hegemony! How charming. For instance, the United States levied crippling economic sanctions on Iraq - for following perhaps the only path (invading Kuwait) that would lead to financial solvency in light of its $80 billion worth of debt obligations to the United States (incurred during Iraq-Iran war) - which led to the deaths of 500,000 children. As Madeleine Albright said "we think the price [500,000 dead children] is worth it".<br /><br />In response to a single terrorist attack that threatened far less than 1% of his nation’s civilian population, President Bush vowed to make no distinction between terrorists and those who harbor them. America invaded two nations, installed puppet governments, and maintained vast military forces in both countries for over a decade.<br /><br />In reaction to thousands of terrorist attacks threatening well over half of his nation’s civilians, Prime Minister Netanyahu unilaterally agreed to and obeyed (for six hours) a ceasefire proposed by Egypt. Israel reluctantly invaded Gaza and almost certainly possesses not the balls to install a puppet government there or maintain a military presence for anything close to ten years, even though, unlike the Afghanis and Iraqis, the people of Gaza not only harbor but voted into power a terrorist organization, which, by the way, is explicitly dedicated to the destruction of Israel.<br /><br />Whereas Al Qaeda justifies its terrorist attacks by citing American support of Arab dictators, Hamas justifies its terrorist attacks by citing the presence of Jews between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.<br /><br />Israel has the capacity to turn the Gaza Strip to a glass parking lot in about 20 minutes flat. Were such means possessed by the leaders elected by the Palestinian people of Gaza there would be no Jew between the Jordan River and the Sea within... 20 minutes flat.shlomo maistrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01248107684249750519noreply@blogger.com
