Suicide Bombings in Isreal

I was looking over some statistics of the bombings that have taken place in Isreal over the past few years and I noticed a few things. So, now I am left wondering… so many questions.

First, why is it that so few (almost no) suicide bombings take place in July? Is that some sort of time when the Arabs don’t feel like killing themselves and a bunch of Jewish people as well? February and April seem to experience dips as well… is this just a coincidence?
Secondly, why are there people in America who side so strongly with the Palestinians? I usually think that when there are two sides of an arguement this big that both sides must have valid points to offer, but it seems to me that the Palestinians want to have their own country (which is fine with me) but they also insist that Isreal be destroyed. How is it valid to say that a group of people living on land for more than 50 years don’t have a right to live there and govern themselves the way the see fit? How is terrorism validated?
From what I remeber of history these were all European colonies up until the second world war. Now that they are independent some of the Arab people living there feel that Isreal doesn’t have a right to exist.
I really need this explained to me better, because I just can’t see where they are coming from.

  1. David,
    The Lord said, “That in the last days all eyes would be on Isreal.” Imagine this tiny little strip of land being so important a focus of the whole world and mostly the entire Arab nations. Odd, nope, just fulfilling prophesy, God’s word.

    The Arabs hate the Jews and it goes back to when Abraham fathered both children, Ishmael and Issac (I am a terrible speller) Issac was God’s promised son to old Abraham and Sara. Ishmael was from a concubine servant, and he was not the designated nor desired seed that Abraham would bring forth.

    God gave both children land and the Jews were given Israel. One tiny little land that has been ravaged and beaten time after time and the Jews were told that they would be scattered and returned, just as they are today.

    Alas, God is winding down the clock and all you have to do is pick up the bible and take a look. America is now Sodom and Gemorroah. The worlds eyes are on Israel as promised. Even the Chinese wonder why Israel is left standing against it’s neighbors.

    Anyway, I pray that you have embraced Christ as your Saviour for the time is coming when there will be an accounting. The last days are for those who know God to show His people their Saviour.

    Israel is going thoough labour pains to bring forth the child of prudition and God help us all.
    Please ask the Lord into your heart. Share with others the fact that He lived, died, and rose again just for them.

    Ask why a movie as put down as contraversal as The Passion, has earned 3 million dollars and is traveling the word spreading the gospel of Christ. Mel put his money and career on the line and he made a stand for Jesus. Please take your stand too.
