The Palestinians were the "original Canaanites"

Post Reply New Topic

I believe that God calling for ethnic cleansing in the Old Testament had more to do with justifying genocide after the fact than with anything God actually wanted. And by all evidence, the Hebrews were themselves a Canaanite people who ended up absorbing many of the other Canaanites.

Do you think itsael should just disarm and let the Muslims slaughter them by the millions ?
Wouldn’t you want our government to attack people who attacked us? Look how we acted after 9/11 imaging such attacks on a weekly basis

When did I say anything like that?

In other term, you really believe in this sh!t.

The commands about the ethnic cleansing were clear.

This just like saying that Hilter wasn’t so bad because he left some Jews in Germany alive...what? And oh Nazis were Germans themselves.

I believe that OT prophets and kings used God as a pretext to commit mass murder, rationalizing their actions with God's will. I find it hard reconcile the OT God with the God with a human face and nature dying on the cross to redeem all humanity.

But in Christianity, Jesus IS the son of the OT God - or the same entity.
Isn’t the whole concept of the divine Jesus is for God to experience what means to be human? I recall from Christian literature he was even tempted to commit sin.

Secularly speaking, Christianity was a reformation movement of Judaism; none of you Christians today live by Jewish laws; even when it comes to food on your table: You eat everything, you eat pork, you don’t practice kosher, you have no dietary restrictions at all.
All other ild Jewish laws been ditched too from the Christian life; for the better actually.

Then came Mohammad, who grew up in a Messianic non-trinitarian cult that didn’t abandon their Jewish practices - Mohammad’s claimed goal was to bring back the “original religion” and the “original God’s laws” ... in other term the OT faith with some update. This is a central point in the islamic faith.

Yes, we Christians believe that Christ was both God's son, and also God, as is the Holy Spirit. I can't speak for other believers, but I was raised to believe that revelations of God and his will were a gradual thing, till he revealed his will completely while wearing a human face.
And yes, we believe Christ was not only God, but was also fully human both physically and with a human nature.

But if you look today at a devout Jew and at a devout Christian, their daily lifestyles don't have any resemblance anymore. Fundie or even devout Muslim and Jews are by far more similar to each other.

Christianity deviated so far from Judaism to the point that only the OT is what they have in common today - Christianity was not just an 'update' of Judaism but a total reengineering of an existing religion. The Christian Orthodoxes/Catholics (Originally one church - just politically divided) only read the OT for 'historical' reference but they mainly live by the NT only - not by the OT - Protestant faith on the other hand attempted to 'bring back' some 'OT values' into their lives - with some denomination variances.

Islam 'brought back' the 'OT values' (in its own version) at full scale - at least this what Muslims believe (but they refer to the 'true' OT and they consider the today's OT is modified- also Muslims only believe in the Gospel that deny Jesus' divinity - such as the ebionite Gospel).

I've heard that Judaism and Islam bare a certain resemblance.

There's actually a degree of common sense in what you say, "you can’t make peace with people who’s sole goal is to kill you."

And as long as the pro-ethnic cleansing faction run Israel, Palestinians must understand there is no possibility for peace and resistance, up to and including armed, violent resistance is absolutely justified.

Then I guess they’ll just continue to die in service of allah via johad at the hands of the IDF and irsael’s superior military power, good riddance.
Sorry I don’t like hamas and Palestine terrorist like you all do. They can all die and rot in hell. There will never peace in the Middle East as long as them, Isis and Iran exist. Turkey is going that way too I hear. Seems besides Kuwait and irsael he Middle East is horrible. No not all the people there are but their governments and enough people are and ruin it for everyone else. Israel always attacks altering being attacked. They don’t go far enough in my opinion, they need to roll in take all of Palestine and start and occupation until they route out every last terrorist. No Other major nation would put up with what they do. Russia would have stomped out Palestine in few weeks if they were irsael, so would the USA, uk, France, Germany etc. non of them would put up with a neighbor stat attacking them every day. So in that way palaistine is lucky. If they’d f****d with us their whole nation would lay in Ruins and there’d be US marines on every street kicking any remaining doors down. Their fighters who remained would be rotting in Cuba being water boarded to find out where the rest are. Russia would just killed them all. Same with China.
Imagine if Tiwain lobbed misled at China. What do you think would happen? Would China seek peace? Or would they bomb the s**t out of that tiny island until nothing moved?
Look what happen to Afghanistan and Iraq after they attacked us and supposedly supported those who attacked us. Look at Syria. If Palestine stopped all terrorist attacks and stopped launching missles I’m sure they’d get left alone. If you go picking a fight with the big guy in the room you going get your ass kicked. To expect anything else is stupid. Honestly I hope Israel says screw political correct and just puts an end to the s**t. I’ve seen it all my life I’m sick of it and I’m not going even th one being bombed. Take Palestine remove hamas. Let life improve for the people there. Pleanty of Muslims live well off lives in irsael. But they won’t. So both sides will just continue killing each other and hating each other. Don’t yiu support gun controL for th kids? Do irsael kids not deserve to live ? Do they not deserve to live with out fear of being bombed every day?

Boo what would be your nations respnse if Saudi Arabia or Egypt started launching missles at your cities? Would do they say sorry and seek peace? Or would they launch counter attacks ?

Your question is absurd and has nothing to do with the Israel-Palestinian situation - Lebanon is a sovereign nation with its own modern borders and its people didn't come from nowhere but been have been continuously existing in this land, Egypt is a sovereign nation with its own borders and it's a historical nation as well. There's no dispute between Lebanon and Egypt what is ours and what is theirs, nor they driven us from our homes.

Both Lebanese and Egyptians btw do not associate their identity to the land as if it's 'a new country founded officially in the european colonization period' but they associate it on much more ancient historical grounds - they view the official recognition (independence) as a form of rightful restoration of their historical nation (After the long Ottoman empire era).
Some Egyptians view Egypt as continuation to Ancient Egypt, and Lebanon as continuation to Phoenicia or more broadly as a group of Canaanite city-states that still have the same names and locations today ; we see ourselves as ancient natives to the land where we in - it's similar to how Jews associate themselves to ancient Israel - in fact it's similar to how most peoples in the old world , including Europe, identify themselves.

I am gonna counter your question with a question: What do you think the White Britain colonists's response had been when every time the native americans shot arrows at their camps? They surely shot back with fire of course - at least as an act of personal self defense - but that doesn't change the fact that these colonists were....well the initial invaders, aliens to the land, and therefore the initial aggressors.

But if you celebrate thanksgiving every year then I don't expect you will be able to emotionally relate to my above example, I think you're not even capable of so.

Irsael is a Sovereign action and has been so for over 60 years so accept it. They will continue to defend themselves. Your nation could be gone tomorrow and replaced with another and that’d be that. Stop living in th past. Should Eastern Europe go back to the empire of Russia? Should the uk reclaim their thousand year empire? Then most of Europe and Africa belong to Italy since they are th continuation of the Roman Empire, but what about people who trace back to empires before Rome? How many times has land changed hands, how many times have nations rose and fell to be replaced by others. I’m so tired of this land was ours thousands of years ago. That’s the same stupid logic China is using to try to claim the whole Asian sea. What matters is who owns it now. Muslims stole it from the Jews, Jews took it back they own it now. Sorry but that’s how the world works. We all came from somewhere around Iraq. We spread out, we took land, others took to from the, they took it back, so on and so on. Reality is land belongs to whoever can hold it. Palestine doesn’t have the military force to take irsael and kill all the Jews like they want to.

Will your nation be returning land to Isis? Don’t they claim to be the descendants of the true Islamic empire. So they just reclaiming land that belongs to them. Ugh.
How many people in uk are natives? How many conquers did England trade hands to? Again we all came from Iraq all other land had no natives. This s**ts been going on since we existed. I guarantee your nation and people took the land your on from another group of people at some point in history.
