Jew=Judah, not Israel.
They took the name "Israel" because it has a better 'ring' to it than "Judah", and because they didn't think any descendants of the other tribes were still around. The fact is that they improperly appropriated the name Israel, replacing their tribal name with the greater national name.
You sound a bit... off there.
Most definitely. But that doesn't mean that one is more responsible for stopping their criminality than another.
...in war, for the death of a civilian?
The soldier who pulls the trigger? The officer who deployed him? The politician who committed them? The enemy who provoked them?
The question is prompted by the deaths of some 1200 people in Gaza, mostly civilians, many of whom were non-combatant women and children.
And, I am getting tired of Israel blaming their disproportionate violence on Hamas. I am not a Hamas supporter; firing off rockets in the hope of killing Jews is not an activity I would encourage or endorse. But I think the morality of the situation to be more complex and nuanced than Israeli apologists would have us believe. I wonder if anyone else here is looking for a principle that assigns appropriately moral responsibility where such responsibility is due, in a situation such as we have in the middle-east?
Best wishes, Strivax.
Biblical history and prophecy are valid references.
Ok, I will be blunt, you sounded anti semantic
I criticize my kids too, but that doesn't mean I hate them.
You are associating the Jews with Judah
