Fucking cowards!!! I can't believe the US condones this bullshit or at the very least they won't speak out about it!!! This abuse cannot be sustained for ever, sooner or later the levy will break!!! I cry for Palestine every time I see something like this. God bless the Palestinian people and those who speak out on their behalf.

Genesis 32:28

New International Version (©1984)

Then the man said, "Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men and have overcome."

It is clearly struggle with God. It is strange but even the Muslem jihad means also struggle with oneself for God, not only with unbelievers.

And for Israel - Jacob fought with God - read a Bible. Would you support Herodes who killed all the babies just because he was a Jew?

@bgtop9962 Israel doesn't mean fight with God, but for God, fighting for God, not with God. Yes, Israel has taken land that wasn't Biblical in many cases.

@QUINTUSMAXIMUS

well, they dont show it. It is strange but why they have called their state Israel "the one who fights with God." Not a very peaceful name. Why not Judah - "Praised be the Lord".

There were two kingdoms - Judah and Israel, fighting with each other. The Gaza stripe was settled with Phillistines back then. The kingdoms reached not the Gulf of Akaba.

So Israel has taken land that even in biblical times was not Jewish.

@bgtop9962 Dude, don't blame all Jews for Israel's conduct to justify prejudice that you have towards Jews. Many of the biggest opponents of Israel are Jews. More Christians in the US support Israel blindly than American Jews. Check the polls.
