Are these Israelites still the children of the living God?

Are these Israelites whose war exploits on multiple fronts all over the Middle East, the Israelites we used to read about in the Bible as the special, adopted children of the Living God, Jehovah Adonnai? The Bible tells us that these children of God were used to provoking God by worshipping many kinds of idols for which reason they were often used to being defeated by some of their enemy nations and carried away from their ancestral land as captives in chains to some distant lands, there to remain as slaves to their captors/conquerors.

Sometimes, while there and they show some remorse, God, the every merciful God that he is, will take pity on them and free them from their captivity and allow their repatriation to their lands in Palestine. Sometimes they will witness these acts of mercy, come back and, surprisingly, go back to the very sins that led to their shabby ill-treatment. And they will be allowed to be conquered again by yet another cruel and unmerciful enemies. Their life was one of a constant rebellion against God, forgiveness and reconciliation and yet another cycle of idolatry and some more other sins. They, it would seem, will never hear a thing and it gets stuck to their brains. Correct them today and tomorrow they will commit another dastardly sin worse than the one they committed yesterday.

Apart from sins, another of their great headache was unbelief. God will do one powerful miracle for them in their full presence and all you will hear from them minutes after, are murmuring, grumbling and complaining. You can never hear them say ‘’thank you’’ to God in gratitude for what The Almighty has just done for them. These our brothers and sisters were simply something else.

Well, I am truly confused and anyone who has an answer to this my query should do well to give me an answer because I know for a fact that there are many people on this earth who are as confused as I am about those people in the Middle East. Are they a people of antiquity who have been swept away by the passage of time or are they still the people we still now see in the Middle East, giving their neighbours and brethren a continual headache?

Since the people I am talking about were volitional sinners in idol worship and being carried away to dwell in punishment in those faraway strange places, did they in the course of time undergo transmutation and changed from being children of God and becoming children of a strange, cruel being very different from the kind, compassionate, all loving God we know to be their father?

I ask this crucial question principally because one of God’s principal law that has not been abrogated or reviewed or amended but is still extant is the simple but powerful law namely ‘’Thou Shall not Kill’’.  This is the law which the current Israelites seem to love to violate the most now even as they were not far away from this in Biblical times.  It does look as if an Israelite does not go against this law every day they do not feel fulfilled.

I tell one of my sons with whom we argue a lot about world issues and who seems to be sympathetic to the side of the Israelites in all the wars, quarrels and troubles they often tend to have with a whole lot of people have that I honestly think the Israelites should be required to fill in the column of forms called ‘’occupation’’ which people in the modern life are often routinely expected to fill for employment and a variety of other services, I think that every Jew should fill ‘’killing’’ because if you aggregate all the killings that have been done by Jews and divide it among them, every single Jew would become a killer.

Some naïve guys like me expect any one that is called a child of God should have certain qualities like kindles, forgiveness, peace, love, forbearance,less likelihood to be violent, etc but these Israelites we see do not seem to have anything remotely connected to positive values. Rather, what you mostly associate with them is anger, unquenchable anger, retaliation, vengeance, etc

As a people who suffered greatly in the hands of a maniac called Adolph Hitler who reported likked about six millions of them, I expect that these Israelites we have if they have not undergone some transmutation in the course of their relentless exile and acculturation with others and become some people else, will have a lot of compassion, empathy, sympathy with anyone suffering, kindness and gentility in their DNA. But these Israelites do not seem to have anything on the soft and kind side of life. The Israelites of the Bible believed in an ‘eye for an eye’. These ones believe in ‘’ten eyes for an eye’’.

Some of us naïve ones think that after the Israel-Iran 12-Day War, which mercifully came to a melodramatic end after allegations that Donald Trump’s B-2 bombers which made all the parties look like winners did not actually obliterate the Iranian nuclear facilities, the Israelites will roll in their tanks and aircraft into their bunkers and have a rest from war like two or three years before again contemplating going to the field again to do what they know how best to do.

But who says this? It is not these Israelites who, it seems, cannot do without warfare and the killing of human beings. Trump says that these Israelites and their adversaries have become so used to war they do not know the f…k what they are doing. This remark of Trump’s applied more to the Israelites than it did to the Iranians. These Israelites, as expected, gave the last parting shot in Teheran before they retired to continue with their killings in Gaza and the West Bank. From the look of things, there will be no let in Palestine for the Arabs. If before the 12-Day war, the Arabs saw pepper, it looks like now, they will see hell fire. The people are routinely killed by the Israelites while waiting in queue for hard to get food. These supposed children of God take delight in inflicting hunger and malnutrition on their conquered victims.

If these people we are talking about are still the children of God why does it not occur to them to leave the war they are fighting supposedly to contend for the land of Palestine which God is said to have given to them Jehovah Nissi the God of war who knows best how to avenge anyone he thinks has been wronged? Did not their God say he is a God of vengeance and that vengeance is his and no man’s?

From the way these Israelites have resumed their war in Gaza with greater vehemence and vengeance, it seems that they have become addicted to war. And if the Houthis and those who call themselves the Soldiers of God in Lebanon try to raise their heads again, the Israelites will not say that they have become weary of war. The aircraft the Israelites used to paint Teheran red will be scrambled out and used to wrought devastation on Yemen and Lebanon. Remember, the occupation of every Israelite is killing. They have not changed that ‘’hand work’’ yet.Their hands are trained for and honed for war and more wars.

It looks like the Israelites have reared their population on a war economy. In the course of reports of the war on the latest war I used to hear TV commentators say that citizens have filed claims of damages of up to one billion dollars against their insurance companies.  A population which benefits like this from war has a very good incentive in supporting their government to prosecute wars and more wars.

If you are not baffled by these Israelites, please tell me what baffles you.
