Seems to me that we have a problem with Israel and the Muslims.
The Israelis beliefs, history, etc. are tied to the Old Testament happenings and writings.
The Muslim beliefs, history, etc. are tied to the Koran and Muhammed's writings.
Both religions believe in "an eye for an eye". That is not Christian.
The Christians main belief structure is theoretically from the New Testament.
Thus, sending rockets into civilian enclaves is not a problem for them with their philosophies.
It is hard for Christians to understand/accept this.
Thus we are in a mess - worldwide.
