The God-fearing Response is not to take Another's Life Unnecessarily

   I wish somebody could reach out to the Israelis and say, "Hey, this might not be perfectly right, what you are doing."
   I speak of the number of Palestinians who are being killed while attacking and protesting against the Israelis. I just wonder if death is so often the necessary end result. Any time you can spare a life, you should.
   Look at the numbers. Nineteen Israelis have been killed since mid-September as the Palestinians have been attacking the Israelis. But, 94 Palestinians have died, only 58 of which were attackers, the rest being people who died in clashes with Israeli authorities. I wonder if more of the Palestinian attackers could have been stopped without use of lethal force. And, I wonder if the three dozen who were killed in the clashes, could have had their lives spared. If they were not attacking, what was the need to kill them?
   In the U.S., we currently have a big spotlight on police violence. But, that does not seem to be so much the case in Israel, although the Palestinians are saying the Israelis are using excessive force.
   A God-fearing response is not the taking of life at the least of provocations. Life is precious, all life. A God-fearing person spares another's life whenever he can.
