Tight Lines,

I looked at some photo's of Iran in the 70's. They looked like they could have been taken in the West. The people dressed liked they were here. Not sure about peace though. Some them are still trying avenge Ishmael.

That region will never get along. There are too many different cultures/religious sects that absolutely hate each other over there. It would be like sticking Ohio State fans in the same bar as Alabama and Michigan fans and asking them to figure out who the best football team is. They will never agree and they will always fight.
Been screwin with Iran before Jimmy Carter....Put a couple where it counts and get it over. Enough of this Russia, Syria, Iran situation.

They did not attack anything within the borders of Iran..... The targets in this raid were Iran's missile launchers and other military installations that Iran has placed in Syria
Israel informed Russia prior to the raid so there wouldn't be any interaction with Russian fighters.
Iran was indeed a Western influenced country under the Shah of Iran who was overthrown and Ayatollah Khomeini became the leader the hostage seizure and the strict form of rule followed. Iran elects Presidents but the Mullahs aka 'The Hard Line Religious Leaders" are the ones in control.
I would encourage you to read the bible yourself, and not listen to the Rabbi. The majority of Israel rejected Jesus, its why Saul had his conversion experience on the road to Damascus and God made him Paul to take the message to the Gentiles. Israel was supposed to be raised up as a nation of high priests and take the message to the whole world. Again today approx. 8 to 10 thousand Israelis out of a total population of 8.5 million believe in Jesus Christ as Lord. Nothing has changed.
I think that is the official reason given and probably is true. I also think they get way more support and aide because of religious beliefs here in the United States. Politicians realize this and make decisions based upon that. I think most of the comments in this thread help explain my point.

Thou shalt not kill is referring to murder, not killing enemy combatants.
There is some very interesting reading in the Old Testament about this.
If you cannot or do not wish to read the Bible in depth to discover some of this information you can google "Bible verses pertains to slaying one's enemies". This approach helps on a number of subjects.
I appreciate your question and agree that there are many questions about things we do not understand.
Someone once said that the Bible is like a gold mine. There is gold (knowledge ) inside but you have to dig (read) to find it.

Just returned from Israel and Egypt. Don't want to mess with the highway guards at the many road blocks we went through. I am sure the army personnel is tougher that the road guards.
And yet the keeping the faith forum hardly gets used ???
awful nice of man to write in all that convince
I always hope for peace but sadly in that neighborhood it seldom happens.
