This time literally. Having bombed Hamas peace negotiators in Qatar, the world wince agin secures the genocide.<\/p>\n<p>The state of Israel serves as the modern pharaoh of the middle east. The ancient Israelites, even after God led them out of slavery in Egypt, God obliged them to wander in the desert for 40 years, allowing time for the disobedient generation to pass away and a new generation, prepared to trust and follow God, to arise. Can the enduring ancient Israelites be freed of modern Zionism? And to what penance may they be obliged?
