REALLY great and interesting question. When the rich man asked Jesus "What MORE can I do to reach the kingdom of heaven?", (paraphrasing), Jesus told him that he must live by the commandments of Moses...(the TEN COMMANDMENTS), and give away all his wealth and follow Jesus.
Are the Jews of Israel obeying the commandment of Moses to "Love Thy Neighbor"? Do they care more about owning land, (wealth), than they do about attaining the Kingdom of God?
On the other hand, Hamas is at war with Israel, and they are bombing the sh!t out of them, and murdering them and killing babies.
Jesus was into non violence, so He and his followers would probably allow themselves to be killed.
Matthew 10:34-39
“Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. 35 For I have come to ‘set[a] a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; 36 and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ 37 He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38 And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39 He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it."
