Because It's Israel

 It has now been reported that Netanyahu's government has approved a plan to not only permanently occupy Gaza, but forcibly relocate its residents south. Over 50,000 Palestinians, men, women, and children have been killed since the October 7th massacre, and 118,000 have been injured. Hospitals have been raided and bombed. Schools have been destroyed. All aid supplies into Gaza have been cut off by the Israeli defense force. People are literally starving to death, and Gaza now resembles a landscape worse than something out of the Fallout games.
     The most chilling fact? Far too many professing "Christians" are cheering it on. Why? Because the government of Israel is the perpetrator. What are considered multiple atrocities if committed by any other nation are seen as Biblically mandated by these people because it is Israel and it is the Palestinians. It is because of things that occurred 3500 years ago with a very different nation of Israel and a very different, pagan, child-sacrificing Canaanite population. It has nothing to do with the virtues or lack thereof of the Palestinian people. Yes, Hamas committed atrocities, and is a terrorist group, but not every Palestinian in Gaza was Hamas. Most weren't. Most were just people trying to live their lives, work, go to school, raise their families, even try to make the world better in their own way.
     When is it considered an atrocity? When is it considered wrong? Regardless of Israel's ancestral claims on this strip of land along the Mediterranean coastline, regardless of what happened on October 7th, when does the intentional slaughter and forced relocation of civilians, a great many of whom are children, become an atrocity even if Israel is the nation doing it? How high do the numbers have to go? Or do they get a carte blanche no matter what they do to them because they're Israel?
     The Palestinians are not the Canaanites. The Canaanites were all gone by the time Judah went into captivity. They didn't exist by the first century. The Palestinians are descendants of various groups that have lived in and around the Levant for thousands of years. They represent not only Muslims, but also a good many Christians from some of the oldest Churches in the world. There was no command in the Torah to wipe out the Palestinians, the majority of whom are also descendants of Abraham, one way or the other. God commanded Israel to spare his brother Esau's nation, Edom, and the descendants of Ishmael were always considered distant family to them as well. By committing these atrocities against the Palestinians, Israel is committing these atrocities against their own relations in the family of Abraham, and disobeying the Torah of God egregiously.
     Does anyone seriously think God will be pleased with them over this?
