It looks as if most people do not support either the terrorists or the Israeli government.
But most of us do feel most empathetic and sympathetic towards the civilians who are dying, injured, losing their homes, hungry and in need of medical support.
It's a horrible situation, but since each...
Hi Jimmy......
So we wait to read your answers.
What would you think if, for example, cops shot down your loved ones in order to get at some violent burglars?
Would that be acceptable?
I get the impression that both Hamas and Hezbollah are extreme terrorist organisations that are committed to the destruction of Israel, and careless about anything or anyone in their efforts.
Equally, I think that Israel is controlled at present by an extreme government that seems to be careless...
So Terrorists Can Hide Behind Civilians And Terrorize Anyone They Want And No One Can Touch Them?
Now just think.
If a terrorist was hiding behind your loved ones, would you expect your police to shoot down your loved ones in order to get to the terrorist?
Wake up time, yes?
It's easy to knock down initiatives, even the reasonable and good ones, and you might admit that your one-liner rebuttals are fairly well known?
So you could put questions and ideas forward in respect of the term 'Palestinian State' yourself?
So I'll bite the bullet and suggest that if my...
But you quote covenant breakers when it suits you!
Equally, I have learned to be cautious about Baha'i claims, you know.
Wow, are you telling us that most other religions tell the truth 'a lot of times'?
That's how I tend to think about Bahá'ís, Tony.
OK, here's an idea.....when 'Come and...
Yep! :)
So how do United Nations members recognise states?
And how come that Israel nor USA not recognise a Palestinian State?
I think that's fairly clear to most readers.
Keeping it simple some countries DO recognise 'Palestinian State' and others don't, thus:-

As of June 2024, the State of Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 146 of the 193 member states of the United Nations, or just over...
Not True!
Walbridge and Cole were/are both very loyal Bahais and have written(and translated) a very great deal about the Bahai Faith, I've just copy/pasted Juan Cole's explanation of why he was expelled from Bahai.
I invite any members to copy this in to 'google' for his full and (very very...

UHJ admits to withholding part of the will of Baha'u'llah : r/FreeSpeechBahai
The postscript was not included as part of the Will by 'Abdu'l-Bahā when He circulated it during His lifetime, and this approach......
Oh Tony! Western people could not and still cannot read it all.
For example, back in the day when Didymus was a Baha'i in California only a few of Bahauallah's books had been translated.
Western Bahá'ís that did decide to translate books were 'shunned'.
I believe that even today there may be...
Exactly so!
An Iranian Baha'i told me that 'over there) they looked upon most Western Bahá'ís as 'silly but useful'..... Most western Bahá'ís had absolutely no idea about what Baha'i was.
And as for 'LSAs', it was Shoghi Effendi who instructed that the real title for 'Local Houses of...
But you're a theist, Tony.
In the big bad world many other theists will disagree or confront your beliefs, even yourself, maybe.
But many non-theists and atheists won't understand what you're saying at all.
Maybe the answer is for us all to put our beliefs and opinions in our pockets?
The Jesus that the early church produced certainly did not embrace the laws of the Torah apart from a cherrypicked few.
Bahá'ís should certainly be free to enjoy their celebrations and religion freely, but their political and legal ideas (which they deny) should be well published as a caution...
