Who are the victims: Palestinians trying to dig out their children bare handed from under a bombed building, or to find something to eat for starving families, or seeing terrorist rampaging in their communities, without any recourse, or Israelis who are at worst running to shelters on siren sounds, at best sipping lattes in Tel Aviv bars?

Wide Arab solidarity with Lebanon following a wave of explosions of communication devices in Lebanon used by Hezbollah elements and the explosions of wireless communication devices "pagers" carried out by Israel in southern Lebanon, the Bekaa and other scattered areas.
Iran said that it is "a stigma for the West that supports Israel", especially the United States, an ally of Israel.
Egypt expressed its solidarity with Lebanon in this attack and Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati received a call from Foreign Minister Dr. Badr Abdel Ati, during which he conveyed the solidarity of Egypt, its president and people, with Lebanon in what it was exposed to from pager explosions.
The Syrian Foreign Ministry also condemned the terrorist aggression committed by Israel against civilians in Lebanon, which reflects its desire to expand the scope of the war.
Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani issued directives to send Iraqi medical teams and emergency teams to Lebanon to provide urgent assistance to alleviate the pain of the injured innocent civilians.
Iraq stressed that these events, in addition to the other ongoing threats and attacks committed by the usurping entity, and the threat to launch a large-scale war on Lebanon, are matters that require urgent international intervention; In order to prevent the situation from sliding towards expanding the circle of war that has targeted, for months, the people of the Gaza Strip, as well as civilians in the West Bank and southern Lebanon, and caused them tragedies, without deterring the occupation army from implementing its plans to expand and occupy more lands.
Jordanian Deputy Prime Minister Ayman Safadi confirmed the directives of King Abdullah II of Jordan to provide any medical assistance needed by the Lebanese medical sector to treat thousands of Lebanese citizens who were injured in the mass bombing in Lebanon.
The spokesman for the Secretary-General of the United Nations warned of the risks of escalation in Lebanon, which is taking the region to a dangerous stage.
The international organization demanded an independent investigation into the circumstances of these mass bombings, and holding accountable those who ordered and carried out this attack. The United Nations said that targeting thousands of individuals without knowing who was in possession of the targeted devices violates international humanitarian law.

No use for condemnation and demanding independent investigation. Hizbullah was remiss in procuring the pagers and walkie-talkies.

Israel's Reason for war is valid.

Hamas is guilty of genocide.

Israel is constantly defending its own Country.

How?

Hezbollah is now targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure.

They have started to attack the food supply...

Israel stock exchange is nose diving since August as investors panicking sell off stock in anticipation of an all out war with Iran...

Israel has ordered its hospitals to go underground...


They are reporting the news like any other media. For someone with a busy day, their summary serves me well instead of checking different sources for all things related to the Gaza war.

It's an overall rating of Hindustan Times according to the website I posted a hyperlink to.
Hezbollah is now targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure.
So far, the number of Israeli casualties is very small, whereas the Lebanese is huge. And there's no comparison between the amount of destructions in Israel and Lebanon.
They have started to attack the food supply...

Israel stock exchange is nose diving since August as investors panicking sell off stock in anticipation of an all out war with Iran...
I'd like to see a reliable news report in support of these claims. In any event, I don't believe there'll be a severe economic setback for Israel.

Farid, the Gaza war is reported across all media both Western and Eastern each reporting on a specific angle and certain news you will only find in Israeli and Arabic media that is not reported to the outside world. Any news mention here that don't have a link can be research if you are interested in it.

In relation to Israeli shrinking economy that I posted before, the article is from a Jewish site. They are the best to know what is going on with their finances.

Israel will continue to fight their War.

Hamas and its supporters hide behind schools, hospitals, homes and whatever they think Israel
will not strike. Endangering their own People.

Then they count the dead and injured that they themselves Used as Human shields.

Negative reports will do nothing to stop Israel from fighting against those who want to Eliminate them completely.

Wrote about ‘How is Israel related to god's chosen people?’

Should we all move there? All 7-8 billion on the planet?
For we are all god's chosen people.
Quite arrogant and far from loving to say that it's only for Israelis.
Or Americans as they do the same. "God bless America" (and the rest can go to hell).
Palestine’s lived in what is now called Israel.
Then after the WW the allied forces decided the Jews had to go to Palestine to PEACEFULLY co-habit the country with the Palestine’s.
But Jews clearly didn't get 'peaceful co-habitation' as they took over, mistreated the Palestines, and that's still going on today.
They did their best to annihilate the original people of the country.
How is that 'god chosen'??
Basically the mess in that country is the result of the allied forces' decision, nothing to do with god.
It had to do with the fact that no one knew what to do with the Jews after the war and they had to go somewhere. So dump them in an area where they weren't in the way.
Well, they were, but not in the way of the west.
If the allied forces had decided differently back then there'd now be peace in today's Israel.
As it is the west has created a giant massacre, caused by the Israelis, and suffering of the people who actually lived in that country.
They're now confined by the Israelis behind a wall on a small piece of land, not allowed to do this and that and the other.
Really very sad and actually disgusting to treat other human beings that way.
We are all part of the Divine, god if you wish, and in that sense all equal. No race, people etc. has god's / the Divine's preference

many museums showcase artifacts that affirm Israels ancient roots and cultural significance in the region. such as Dead sea scrolls, which contain some of the oldest known texts of the Hebrew bible.

Archaeological findings like the
TEL DAN Stele reference the house of David. supporting the historical existence of Israels biblical figures.

the survival and return of the Jewish people to I israel after centuries of exile are seen by many as fulfillment of biblical prophecy, reinforcing their identity as Gods chosen people

According to the Israel Democracy Institute, about two-thirds of Israeli Jews believe that Jews are the "chosen people".
The Torah mentioned Israel in the sense of the Children of Israel a lot, but it also mentions that the foreign believer is treated as the believer from the Children of Israel. Today, however, there is confusion between the Israelis during the era of Moses, and the Jews as adherents of a religion.
The Jews acknowledge the punishment of God, if they are the children of God, then He does not punish them. And since He tortures them, they are not his children or his loved ones.
There is no people chosen by God with all its individuals. In every nation there are believers who love God and who are loved by God.
Christians believe that they are God's chosen people as well. Based on verse 1 Peter 2:9
‘But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light’—1 Peter 2:9 (NIV).
In contrast with those who reject Christ and are destined to "stumble," Peter now describes the chosen people of God
Peter uses language that had been used to describe God's special relationship with Israel. As Israel was, we—believers, the church—are also a chosen race. Unlike Israel, though, we are not a race in the sense of our family, ethnicity, skin color, or country of origin. We are a spiritual race, in the sense that, in Christ, we share a single spiritual Father. In that same meaning, we are a "holy nation," a specific group of people called out and set apart from all other nations.
.
The Israelites were a chosen generation. Likewise, believers in Christ are the objects of God’s everlasting love, irrespective of any foreseen qualities in themselves. They have not chosen him, but he has chosen them and called them with a holy calling. And, although they belong to different people and languages, they are of the spiritual seed of Abraham. Born from above, united in one head, and partakers of one life, they have one hope on earth, one home in heaven.
To represent the higher honor of the saints in the gospel age, Peter combines two offices never united in the Jewish church. Jewish kings were not priests; neither were all the tribes of ancient Israel admissible to the priesthood. But in regard to Christians it is true of them all that they are kings, inasmuch as they are made conquerors in Christ over their spiritual enemies. They are priests—the way into the holiest of all has been open to each of them. No exclusion but that of their own unbelieving and suspicious hearts exists to their entering in. The altar has been prepared and consecrated upon which they are enjoined to lay the bloodless sacrifice of their whole persons “holy and acceptable unto God, which is their reasonable service” [Romans 12:2].
Like Israel of old, believers in Christ are a holy nation. The true church of Christ, separated from the world, washed in the fountain opened for sin and uncleanness, sanctified by the word applied by his efficacious working, in whose hand it becomes the incorruptible seed that lives and abides forever, the church stands forth with the inscription upon it of HOLY TO THE LORD [Exodus 28:36, Jeremiah 2:3, etc.].
About the author and the source
The Christian’s Daily Companion was the work of thirty-one contributors from the Church of Scotland, each of whom provided morning and evening meditations for the days assigned them. Today’s author, John MacFarlane (1798–1875), was a minister in the village of Colessie, in Fife, Scotland. Our devotional is condensed from his much longer meditation

why all the words,

God's love and relationship with humanity are not limited to any one group or doctrine. Instead he offers grace freely to all who seek him with sincere faith. True spiritual identity transcends ethnic and religious boundaries, Accepting Jesus as saviour establishes a relationship grounded in gods love. and a commitment to living righteously drawing closer to him.

After 14 months of slaughter in Gaza, the International Criminal Court has finally issued an official arrest warrant for Israeli prime minister Netanyahu. But it means nothing if governments around the world don’t enforce it. And there’s no time to waste - every 30 minutes, a child has been killed by Israel in Gaza.
