Israel and Palestine

I wanna stand for people who are dying in Palestine but i am a Christian we are supposed to pray for Israel and i believe in jews more than i believe in Islam and i dont know what to stand for in this situation. My muslim friends are hurt that i haven't posted anything about palestine. I don't know what to do.

As far as I'm concerned, any government which displaces and kills people on the scale that the Israeli government does is malignant and needs to be deposed. Pray for the Israeli people, but the settlement building in the West Bank & the blockade of Gaza are both clearly war crimes and they must be not only undone, but repented for, to both God and the Palestinians.

Hamas is nothing more than an Islamic terrorist group which feeds on Palestinians' impotent anger of their own oppressors and turns it into ethnic hatred and martyrdom. Most of the people who Hamas kills are innocent (or at the very least, not so guilty as to deserve death), and it's good to pray for them. The Israeli state deliberately propped them up, and now they're using them as a pretext to murder thousands.

@BlueVeins Your comment-except that Hamas is an islamist terrorist group- is crap. See my comment elsewhere in this thread.

@LamontCranston Your comment is an article copied and pasted from the Media. You then extol the presence of a video at the time of or soon after the attack. Have you any actual expertise in the area? You seem to be happy to say someone's view or opinion is crap. What is the basis of that view?

@Zeusdelight If you want to defend Blue Veins statement , go ahead and try. What special expertise does one need? The fact is that the Hamas terrorists actually videoed much of their horrific acts. The Journal editorial summarized some of what has been seen.
The scale of the Oct. 7 terrorism relative to a country the size of Israel was enormous. All B.V. did was repeat the tropes of anti-Israel, anti-Jew hatred.

@LamontCranston And all you did was repeat an article supporting anti-Palestinain hatred.

I actually thought the problem here was Hamas, not the Palestinian people. But you probably don't know enough history of the area to demarc between them.
