That’s precisely the point I was attempting to make. Primarily out of support for Israel’s right and indeed obligation to defend itself, secondarily a notion in the back of the mind that it’s also in our best interest to have a healthy and sovereign Israel in that particular neck of the woods (and in doing so keeping a dangerous and “imperialistic” Iran at bay).

There's nothing anti-Islamic about pointing out the simple truth that the few Islamics who aren't terrorists support and enable the ones that are. It's what they are. Barbarians

I agree with that grand strategy, but, I do not agree with the notion that the Old Testament should be the rules by which we execute these military missions.

Your OP proves you’re upset.

We are trying to hold you to the ideological consistency you claim you are always holding the board to. We are also waiting for you to name names of the people you’re claiming hold two different views in regards to Iran and Russia, thus far you’ve struck out.

You lost me. Or maybe I did it to myself. I’m a passive admirer of the Old Testament, but missed where it came into play.

maybe not leave that cluster frick called Afghanistan during a real insurrection, leaving Americans, our allies, and our military equipment behind.

That was all done according to the Doha Accord with the Taliban signed by Trump:

Agreement for Bringing Peace to Afghanistan
between the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by the United States
as a state and is known as the Taliban and the United States of America

No, simply centuries old truth.

1 Samuel 15
2 This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt.
3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”


Killing it, old school.

Maybe so but what I noticed immediately with your post was lack of negative reviews towards the democrats words towards US citizens. No fretting over democrats views on say gender fluidity, climate crisis scam, free money-health care-housing to non citizens. Why is that ?

I’m not gonna dismiss anyone’s choice to apply the provisions of the Old Testament to the matter, but I personally am in this instance approaching it from the more pragmatic and modern day perspective.

How very Christian of you.

Here's the thing, neither Jews nor Muslims believe that Jesus "fulfilled" the Law, and so both still live according to Mosaic Law as found in Ye Olde Testament.

So whose values do we apply here, those of the combatants themselves, or some third party values?

Yep.

That's the OT way to do it.

Israel believes in waging war according to God's Word on the topic - THE OLD TESTAMENT WAY.

You on board or not, American Soldier?

If the United States of America ordered its military forces to provide direct and embedded military assistance and participation in Israel's military campaign of dealing with Gaza and those people in The Old Testament Way, I believe that a clear majority of the American People would approve of the POTUS issuing those orders to the US military.

WHAT KIND OF AMERICAN ARE YOU, SAILOR?

I'm pretty sure that the 600,000,000 Muslims in Indonesia, Bangladesh and India don't have anything to do with this ME shite.

Second time in a mere three minutes I’m forced to say a person is out of his depth, without any grain of doubt. . And I should add that out of respect for the other person in a discussion that I don’t say anything unless it’s right. I wouldn’t insult you or waste your time with any uncertainties or shots from the hip. You deserve nothing but complete accuracy and correctness from me.

The “Remember Who Did 9/11” playbook is incredibly versatile. It serves so many interests that it’s not surprising to see it being used again to great effect. Our greatest, most bestest ally loves it. Our enemies love it. Every military contractor in America loves it.
