Righteous Israel; unholy, wicked Palestinians

All your e-mails you send me show Israel in the best possible light but the Palestinians in the worst possible light.  Israel is always so holy and angelic, always on the side of the Lord and the righteous but, the Palestinians are on the side of the devil and are evil incarnate.

Is this not misleading?  Is it not unhelpful and simply creates more bitterness and hatred by some towards Israel?

Should we not be looking at our own behaviour in the Christian, democratic West and be a little more self-critical, a little more ashamed and, certainly, repentant?

Do you not think you are somewhat biased?

The Scriptures tell us "thinking of others as better than ourselves"  Phil 2 v 3  Is there not anything that Israel and the Israelis can do to improve relations with the Gazans and Palestinians?  

How sad that Israel cannot live in peace and harmony with all their neighbours.  Israeli terrorist gangs first attacked Britain in the 40s, followed by the IDF attacking Egypt and Jordan in the 50s, 60s, 70s then Lebanon and now Gaza with war threatened against Iran at any moment.  Apart from the members of NATO (with so much warfare in far off lands since 1945), no other country in the world has such an abysmal record of threatening death and destruction and, actual killing and warring against their neighbours.

What is the matter with us?
