The biblical conception of Israel, the country, was through force as well.

The verdict was handed down by God himself against tribes who were thoroughly corrupted, sacrificed children, practiced perpetual war, and held no redemptive values in esteem, apparently both then and into the future.

Yet they had to take the land by force, themselves, and then Saul refused to kill Amalek. From much research, it has come to seem that his descendants went on to engage in perpetual war against those who had defeated their ancestors, from Haman in Babylon, to the Khazars later, to infiltration and silent running.

Point being, securing a state by force can be justifiable. That said, I’m also not saying that the current State is equivalent to the Biblical State, nor that the current actions are justified (or unjustifiable). If you don’t have a rock solid knowledge of the full breadth of the situation, withholding judgment, while keeping a discerning eye peeled, seems like the best path.

We will find out what’s been going on here, just some things to keep in mind. I certainly don’t claim to understand this whole situation yet.
