We have the people of Israel to thank for the Ten Commandments over 3,000 years ago, for the quite outstanding Good Samaritan story and for the amazing, non-violent, Jesus Christ from Nazareth.
All three are at odds with their present-day practice. Such a pity that today's people of Israel have somewhat departed the Faith.
Yet, their own Hebrew Scriptures contain the most astonishing teaching over obedience to their God, Yahweh to slaughter their Baal-worshipping neighbours.
This century, our side is still slaughtering our Allah-worshipping neighbours of Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Gaza, Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan.
Nothing changes.
