Israel has begun the ground invasion into Lebanon in earnest. 

If Hezbollah wants a ceasefire... all they have to do is actually cease firing. This whole thing is a joke as the world is now pressing for some cease fire while Isreal has suffered near daily rocket and missile attacks for the last year now. Where were all the demands for a ceasefire then?

The only time folks start crying about a ceasefire is when Israel is kicking a$$.

Clearly this makes you very happy.   Why?  What would Jesus think about ground invasions?

Hezbollah is a terrorist organization that has been responsible for the deaths of many over the years. They have currently been engaged in an ongoing, almost daily attack on Israel. It makes me happy to see Israel dismantling their leadership, killing terrorists, and taking apart Iranian proxies. 

This seems to be something you are opposed to... why?

Because Jesus.  

Because you think Jesus is cool with terrorists killing people, just not the people fighting back against them?

That is because Jesus made no such commentary on warfare, as you assert here. 

His comment about doing unto others covered everything which includes warfare.

How so? Why don't you quote that whole scripture here for me and explain how it applies to warfare.

Jesus was a Jew who lived in Israel.

He's probably anti-terrorist and would kindly ask terrorists to stop being genocidal murders.  The terrorists would then execute Jesus like the Romans did and murder all of his followers and take their land.

Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you. You don't need an explanation you just need to jog your own memory.

Think back to when you were a child in kindergarten with a big piece of cake and the kid beside you had a big bowl of ice cream and you thought it might be nice to have a little ice cream with your cake.

You'd probably ask if they were thinking the same thing.

So, what does this have to do with what Israel is doing here being against this?

What does any of this have to do with Israel defending themselves from a near-daily barrage of rocket and missile attacks?

My guess is that it probably has something to do with how Israel got there some 80 years or so ago.

Well, feel free to come back when you feel like trying.

I'm just trying to get along. What would you have me do?

No, it seems like you are just being obtuse here because you would rather see Israel wiped off the face of the map.

It's too late to want that. It is what it is now.

In the meantime you've got a big piece of cake and the person beside you doesn't...

I propose the best way, maybe the only way to settle this, is to put a bunch of little Israeli and Palestinian kids together in a kindergarten, tell them to do unto others yadda yadda, and then follow their example.

That only happens after you submit the adults who won't let the kids do that... *cough* Hamas *cough*

Now it seems you're making excuses for not trying to get along.

BTW did you mean to use the word admit instead of submit?

It's an interesting slip of the tongue - kind of like a window to your frame of mind around all this.

Would you submit if it was you?

No, submit was the right word. 

I am not a terrorist, it is not me. I would not be a terrorist in the first place.

Ok. So with the first place fresh in mind, would you have submitted to Irgun, Lehi, Haganah and Palmach if you'd been in the shoes of a Palestinian?

Don't forget, like everything everywhere, this remains firmly rooted in the context of Jesus telling people to treat others the way they'd like to be treated.

Listen man, I already played this dumb game with you before. Not interested in playing it again.
