'Nuff sed. No sense torturing the language to squeeze some meaning out of it which may be more politically correct for your purposes.

Research "Old Covenant" and "New Covenant" in the context of Christianity. With an open mind.

As for being anti-Semetic, that's an accusation commonly made by a propaganda machine. Anything that shows Palestinians as human beings is immediately attacked in this country as anti-Semitic and the ADL, et al. threatens boycotts. The news in the US is censored in that manner, and has been for years.

I AM against genocide such as that practiced against the Jews by the Germans, and the Palestinians by Israel. As are all of my Jewish friends.

I belong to the local Jewish Community Center, however, in order to use their gym. Many of my acquaintances there are sad about the Palestinian genocide, and say it's mandated by the Old Testament. In fact, I think you justified it that way, too, saying that land was belonged to the Jewish nation at one time and was just being reclaimed. In that manner of thinking, all of the US belongs to Native Americans and all of Australia belongs to Native Australians. You should move. I don't know where.

I don't have as much patience as I wish I did for people who cannot distinguish between Judaism and Israel, one a fine religion and the other a predatory political entity.

That confusion seems to be fostered deliberately, and used to smear people like me who believe a Palestinian life is as important as an Israeli life, and that lobbing artillery shells into markets and using cluster bombs against civilians is as much terrorism as a suicide bomber. State terrorism is terrorism, the uniforms make no difference.
