Palestinians were known in the Bible as Philistines, the most famous was Goliath. We know how he ended.

What does Powers know about anything that has to do with Christian beliefs? I doubt she even knows anything that the Bible teaches.

I don’t care who was there first or what the history of the country is. I just care “who won the last war?” If you won the war, the land is yours. If you lost the war, you lose the land. If you want it back, you have to win a war for it. If you don’t defend your land, you can lose it.

Pretty simple.

They are a made up people.
They used to be called Jordanians.

Plus, the original “refugees” left on their own … fleeing the advancing Arab armies about to attack the one day old Israel.

God says in the Old Testament that He will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel.

I’m no expert on mid East politics, but based on what I do know, most Mid East nations (which are Muslim) are not willing to allow Israel to merely exist. Some have threatened to “wipe Israel off the map.”

I don’t really see a middle course here for evangelicals.

Seeing Palestinians ‘as humans’ (which yes they are, of course) as Powers suggests, but what she implies, means making a whole host of incorrect assumptions, like they want peace for all, that they can be negotiated with, etc etc etc.

Serial killer Ted Bundy was a human being. So was Hitler. So was Stalin. But these were people capable of great evil and could not be deterred or reasoned with like most.

It's funny. I used to be a die-hard moderate before Obama. Now, because of Obama, I have become a die-hard conservative.
