Get it straight. FOr Mikey, it's TORAH, not BIBLE :) -----Original Message----- From: Angel Stewart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2002 1:39 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: Israel/Arab Conflict 101: The history of Israel
Hey ...ya know..umm.. What if the Bible was just a fairy tale? Sort of a really really old equivalent of Lord Of The Rings? What would that mean for the current conflict....Hypothetically speaking? -Gel -----Original Message----- From: Michael Dinowitz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Good question. Unfortunately, the only thing that Muslims can go on as the word of God today is the Koran and it has a number of passages where 1. Israel was given to the Jews 2. Suicide is wrong 3. Killing yourself, even if killing one you consider an enemy is wrong 4. Killing women and children is wrong 5. Killing those who do not fight (non-combatants like the family that was just gunned down) is wrong So according to the word of God as they see it, they are in the wrong. As for the Torah, it says to drive out the Canaanites and take possession of the land. No Canaanites anymore so there's no driving out of anyone. Even when the modern state of Israel was founded there was no push to drive the Arabs out. That came (to a degree) after constant attacks and wars. BTW, Abraham owned huge chunks of the land before the exodus including one specific transaction where he bought what is now Hebron. ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
