1 This is so simple - the holocaust involved the slaughtering of millions of people; this withdrawal involves merely the forced relocation of thousands.

If the settlers want to draw an analogy they should all wear Ben Gurion badges on their skullcaps in remembrance of the millions of Arabs who were forcibly relocated in the mid 20th Century!!!

2 This withdrawal and the systemic killing of millions of people (including millions of non-Jews) are two entirely different things.

I think it's shameful of the Israelis involved to try and stir up emotion using such a horrible event in history as their point of reference.

3 Same shit, different country. If you don't get your way bring up the Nazis and KKK.

4 Chad, I have a good answer for you but instead I'm putting it on wordpad so that I can work on this challenge you sent out to our readers.

5 Dr. Jack Shepard says Vengeance is the Lord’s alone!

Not Israeli nor Palestinian!

To Kill to Glorify Nationalism–is Displeasing to Yahweh–Allah-God!

For Yahweh has seen how very bitter the affliction of Israel and Palestine is.

For it to end all Yahweh asks is both to do what he considers Right!

I, Dr. Jack Shepard insists on God's role as Preordainer and Determiner of all that takes Place!.

All three major religions date back to Abraham and God speaking to him; are based on prophesy. Prophesy is simply God speaking to his seer as they were called in olden days or prophets as we call them today. By the nature of the prophetic function; the prophet is one who has an immediate experience of God, he is one to whom the holiness and will of God have been revealed; he contemplates present and future through the eyes of God; he is sent to remind men of their duty to God, and to bring them back to obedience and love.


Mohammad told his listeners that God has said to him, "I have created this family for Hell and their actions will be like unto those of the people of Hell."

To Adam God has said , "I have created this family for Paradise, and their actions will be like unto those of the people of Paradise."

Both the Prophet Mohammad and Adam taught even though man thinks he has control over his actions from the time of birth until his death it is God's role as preordainer and determiner of all that takes place and it is only the true believers who truly believe.

When the God created the world he wrote with a divine pen all that was, and all that will be as the Prophet Mohammad taught.

In the Old Testament we find the same quote in "The Prayer of Judith"-” O God, my God now hear this widow too; for you have made the past, and what is happening now, and what will follow. What is, what will be, you have planned; what has been, you designed.

In the New testament we find this same quote in the "Revelation of John" - “ Now write down all that you see of present happenings and what is still to come.”

I say the same thing that, "God created every individual thing. That God created all that was, all that is happening and all that will happen"

The view that man does possess free will and God's in His divine justice allows man the freedom of actions upon which he will be judged is how God preordained and determined some men to think; while all the time God knows all that will take place.

The term "bondage of the will" is the correct term for the true believer and term "free will" is use by nonbelievers who do not fear God. As God said to Jeremiah I knew you before you were born. The same hold true to every living thing, including and especially Man.

The present tendency of man to believe in his "predetermined role" does not lead him in most cases to his fulfillment of his moral and religious obligations, which should be "to act as a person created to act like God created the people for Paradise".

Being God created every individual thing and that God created all that was, all that is happening and all that will happen we must never forget this.

If we are ever going to have World Peace we must act like God, "We must welcome the ones who seek Him, even those who on their journey to God may have committed some mistakes along the way.

Man will earn his rewards on the basis of his faith and good deeds he does because of God's mercy and benevolence.

The people that who does not stretch their arms out to his neighbor and occupy himself with good deeds will be left alone. All is foreknown by God, we can not change the past.

The things that have happened were preordained and determined by God. So if we all learn to accept this we can all have a change of heart and reach out with the same mercy and benevolence which God offers to man on his journey to Him. Then and only then we will have World Peace in our life time.

Being the past was preordained and we can not change it. All that has happened was God's plan if we are going to survive we must look at every new day as a chance to for give and reach out to our neighbors and like God we have to learn how to forgive them; letting God be their final judge because in all truth God is.

Once we accept the fact that "man is totally dependent in all aspects of belief and deeds on God as author of virtues and vices, crimes and punishments." Once this is accepted one has no choice but to forgive the things that happened in the past, remembering Judith’s Prayer; “for you (GOD) have made the past.” Vengeance is the Lord’s alone. If we sin to take revenge one others our actions will be like unto those of the people of Hell where we will dwell forever." We have to only occupy ourselves with good deeds and our actions will be like unto those of the people of Paradise. We have to once again learn to “Love our neighbors” and live by the Lords Commandments.

Those for do not believe and continue their cycle of hatred and revenge will act like those who are on the evil path as one God created for the fire, his actions will be like those of the people of Hell, when he dies he will enter therein.

May God Bless the World with Peace, by opening the eyes of the non believers and giving them a change of Heart to remember vengeance is the Lord’s alone.
