Israel in 1967. Faced with overwhelming evidence of attack, seeing the 'Barbarians at the gates' (a figure of speech and in no way asserts that Syrians/Egyptions are barbarians) and acting in true self defense.
When you're the best nation, the most powerful nation, the most technologically advance nation in the world: You better damn well be 100% sure when you launch a pre-emptive strike.
Israel fought and won a war that they HAD to fight.
America is fighting and losing a war, they wanted to fight.

I can understand the right wings' desire to rewrite the inconvenient part of the Bible, but, sorry, gotta live with it, since everything in our civilization, also according to the right wing, flows from the Bible.
And, while we're on the topic, God will judge the "quick and the dead." Since a fetus took some time to "quicken" doesn't that mean that life, at least according to the Bible, doesn't begin at conception?
I am speechless at this comment. Well, not really but I respect this forum and the TOS I agreed to when I signed up to post.
But damn, killing the same as murder. Hope you're not too upset many don't agree. I have problem with this statement on many levels.

please explain your problem "go left"

I have no problem. I do not agree that Killing is the same as MURDER. Of course, since you read my post you already know that.
More like you're fishing for flamebait, I'm not biting.
Oops, is my face red! I was confirmed in the Lutheran church(I do not mean to embarrass any Lutherans by revealing this) and my pastor would be very unhappy with me if he realized that these many years later I had forgotten that "Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods Before Me" - this is the way I learned it - was the first commandment. Of course he'd be very unhappy with me if he realized a lot of things about my religious beliefs today. But I do thank you for setting me straight.
Ah, what translation would that be? I have to agree with old dude, I checked my 10 commandments placque and my bible (yes, I do own one) and I do not see the word murder -
So the name of the translation and the date - thanks so much
Sticking my nose where it doesn't belong but that's never stopped me before :-)
Literally, the difference between killing and murder is that murder is a legal term to describe deliberate malice and forethought
