Who is Netanyahu's God?

I think you'll find the IDF commit and have committed these same crimes over the years ,They are not saints or even avenging angels ,they are every bit as vile as Hamas ,Gaza and the thousands who have been murdered not just in this recent conflict but for DECADES ,,,,are not HAMAS

*His with a capital H

I think it was Oliver Cromwell who said, that every man who wages war believes God is on his side, but that God should often wonder who is on his.

Totally agree with every single word M0nica

Rape and the murder and the dismemberment of children and babies and deliberate murder of civilians are crimes that are NEVER EVER JUSTIFIABLE as weapons of war.

When this behaviour is adopted as OFFICIAL weapons of war by an army or organisation it is even more heinous and totally unjustifiaable in any circumstance whatsoever.

How any decent person can ever consider a circumstance where, presumably they could consider accepting these weapons as justifiable is completely beyond me.

When a terrorist organisation has infiltrated a society, and commits the crimes Hamas did, how do you carefully filter out the baddies from the goodies?

I am no apologist for Israel, in fact my reaction to the whole business is that of Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet - 'a plague on both your houses'

But only Hamas has made rape, and the murder and dismemberment of babies and children, an official tactic of war and sent out ist forces with explicit instructions to commit these crimes and this in my mind places them so far beyond the pale that anyone who does not turn from those specific who gave those orders and those who commited them is complicit in their crimes.

Unfortunately there are many, and some on here too, who believe that those atrocities were justified and that anyone who might think they are wrong are right wing warmongerers.

Netanyahu is out for revenge on Hamas but, as always, it is the innocents caught in the middle of it who suffer.

None of this has anything to do with any true God.
It is men's perversion of religions which is the cause of so much evil in the world.

Monica that’s what I think too.
It’s set the Palestinian cause back decades if not forever!

Unfortunately I think a lot of these power men are psychopaths and follow no set religion, it is just used as an excuse

If you quote from someone called muhammedshehad2 then it’s bound to be full of hate towards Israel, Jews, and any Israeli political leader.
Caleo why wonder about his God? He may not believe in a God, or he may, but who is the God of hamas terrorists?
They may shout Allah Akbar before they cut off a child’s head but if they truly believe their God would be pleased then what kind of a religion is that?

Growstuff, in the broad sense, I guess everyone has a god of some description. In many cases the individual's god is not a Person but a set of ideas and allegiances.

I have just read the BBC article because I have been Googling to try to discover the nature of Judaism ,that Judaism the religion would permit Zionist nationalism .

I don't have a god.

Netanyahu was the first Israeli PM to be born in Israel. His parents were secular and he spent quite a lot of time in America.

I don't have access to the inside of his head, but I see a career politician rather than somebody with any religious conviction, unless it suits his political endgame.

A set of allegiances is not a God. There could be some debate that as religion wanes people search for other meaning or belonging, but I am not sure that is the same as a God.

Indeed, GSM, and I do. The god of some individuals is strictly themself.

MOnica, thanks for your reply. You wrote: "My sympathies were all with the Palestinians until the start of the Hamas campaign."

Hamas is not the Palestinian people. Hamas is like the Mafia, existing for its own ends.

You could say the same of Putin, who is a member of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Netanyahu is a disgrace to humanity, a racist war criminal, corrupt both morally and materially, mendacious, without a shred of humanity.

🚨Netanyahu is now going fully genocidal; calling Palestinians "Amalek" & citing the bible to justify their destruction!

The bible called to "utterly destroy all that Amalek have, & spare them not; but slay both man & WOMAN, INFANT & suckling, ox & sheep, camel & donkey"!

Netanyahu’s God is Netanyahu. The ultimate political survivor.

I'm not sure that Netanyahu is a believer in any God.

What about the Hamas commanders who made rape, murdering and dismembering babies and killing old people formal weapons of war.

I know such atrocities happen in most conflicts , but in modern war fair who else has made them weapons of war and instructed their troops to commit these crimes.

My sympathies were all with the Palestinians until the start of the Hamas campaign.
