Isreal's democracy?I'm pretty sure the Palestinians would have preferred Gaddafi's dictatorship to Israel's so-called democracy. But Gaddafi could be a bad guy too.
Gaza was not ruled By Israel. it was ruled by Hamas..

A puppet government? And it is kinda controlled by Israel, whether officially or not. Israel tells Palestinians to leave their homes, and then bombs them into oblivion if they don't? I think that shows Israel is effectively ruling, whether it is recognised as such or not.Isreal's democracy?

You gave Gaddafi. He was so well liked he was bludgeoned in the street.Of course no human ruler will compare to God. But there are many benevolent dictators who were better than leaders of so-called democratic nations. I gave you one example, but there are many more. A democracy has little correlation to good leadership, because they are so easily corrupted.
No. it was not a puppet governmant, do you think HAMAS did anything to support israel or that Israel did?A puppet government? And it is kinda controlled by Israel, whether officially or not.

Yeah, after the US bombed all his supporters. Imagine Russia nuked most of patriotic America, and there were only a handful of Communist democrats left. The result would be the same with Trump. Doesn't mean he wasn't well-liked or a bad leader - just someone greatly increased the odds in the favour of his enemies.You gave Gaddafi. He was so well liked he was bludgeoned in the street.
Are you serious? Or are you just trying to argue?
I ask. because anyone who has been looking over in the middle east would not say what you just said.
Are you an proponent of islam?
It's corruption, not the tenets of democracy, that lead to its failure. It is incumbent on free people to maintain their freedom.Democracy as a duel branch government has always failed. Once each party realises it can take bribes and collect large amounts of money. it will become corrupt. Both sides will become so divided it can not agree to much of anything. and what will happen is thje divide will be to great to overcome without one side taking power by force. or the people rebelling and having a revolution.
If nothing else we should learn by the fall of rome, that is one thing we should learn.. united we stand, divided we fall.
Well, not much point continuing this conversation, as our worldviews are too greatly opposed. I believe elements of the Israeli government installed Hamas. But whether or not they did, doesn't give anyone the right to commit war crimes. Giving a green light to warcrimes is exactly the same as saying terrorism is a legitimate act of war.No. it was not a puppet governmant, do you think HAMAS did anything to support israel or that Israel did?
As for what is happening today.
Israel is responding to an attack on its people and its country. It has every right to make sure that the people who attacked he does not have the capability to do it again.
If Hamas did not do what it did. they would be in peace today (well except Israel who continuously had to watch rockets fired at here and did nothing about it)
Same facts...two views. Truth is probably somewhere in the middle.Yeah, after the US bombed all his supporters. Imagine Russia nuked most of patriotic America, and there were only a handful of Communist democrats left. The result would be the same with Trump. Doesn't mean he wasn't well-liked or a bad leader - just someone greatly increased the odds in the favour of his enemies.
A republic is not the same as a democracy.It's corruption, not the tenets of democracy, that lead to its failure. It is incumbent on free people to maintain their freedom.
Ben Franklin...it's a democratic republic, if you can keep it.
No, and intentionally so. True democracy can quickly become anarchy.A republic is not the same as a democracy.

I think (from what I've seen) it usually becomes Communism first. Hence my comment about the benevolent dictators. A wise dictator, king, or president who knows his stuff and loves his people, is better than a bunch of democratic, Communist politicians selling out their country as their snouts snuffle up their fill from the public trough.No, and intentionally so.

I agree with this. But finding wise and loving seems to allude us in present day governance.I think (from what I've seen) it usually becomes Communism first.

The problem is they tend to get assassinated by Communists who want to more easily seize power. But history has plenty of them. If you ignore what the haters say - afterall, nobody except God is perfect.I agree with this. But finding wise and loving seems to allude us in present day governance.
sure I doI believe as should every Christian every human life has inalienable God given rights ... do you?
lolI unlike others are not given over to the relentless propaganda machine heard on the nightly news from the left and right.
You make these assertions Islam wants to take over the world, huge broad sweeping statement with no evidence to support it.
What exactly does that even mean do you know or are you just reiterating the latest talking point?
can you name a warcrime?Well, not much point continuing this conversation, as our worldviews are too greatly opposed. I believe elements of the Israeli government installed Hamas.
