Gaza has been made uninhabitable by the Israelis, which serves the Israeli purpose of getting rid of its inhabitants, which was Israel’s intent from the very beginning. October 7 was quite convenient for Israel. It provided exactly the excuse they needed.

Israel is an evildoing nation. God does not require us to support and bless Israel for the simple reason that God never requires us to support and bless evildoers. It is as simple and straightforward as that. Israel is a corrupt tree bearing bitter fruit.

What kind of nation is America supporting in the Middle East and that receives the support of millions of American Christians? A nation that commits genocide against Palestinians and that’s responsible for murdering tens of thousands of innocent children.

We’re told that Israel has a right to defend itself. Do other groups have a right to defend themselves, or is this a right unique to Israel? And is killing tens of thousands of children really defending oneself? The answers to these questions are obvious.

There’s a huge difference between what Israel is doing in Gaza and fighting a war in a conventional sense. War is a conflict between two military powers, but in Gaza, Israel is targeting the civilian population. That’s a massacre or a genocide, not a war.
