Israel must be very careful in its response to the current Palestinian initiative. Israel holds immense and overpowering military assets to deal with this but they must be used in measure and as required. To launch an all-out, no-holds-barred offensive (as the current center-right government is likely to do) could lead to atrocities and accusations of genocide. In this digital age it would only take a few horrifying pictures of innocents caught in the carnage going viral for world opinion to turn against Israel. I have no dog in this fight but this fight could easily spin out of control and pull the entire world into flames if cooler heads do not prevail.

There are gentiles saved in the OT. Those who don’t see God’s plan of salvation from the beginning are bound to view the OT God as a god of hate. He is merciful. Gives only a proper judgement when he condemns people, but shows steadfast love to many undeserving people. We have all like sheep gone astray. Each of us has gone our own way. But he has laid his iniquities on him (Jesus). God was more than willing to save those outside the Jewish lineage, and in fact, the Jews are a stiff necked people.
