Over 40,000 Gazans have been killed, and many more injured, among the over 800,000 who live in an area much smaller than Rockingham County. |
2. Letting God take revenge on evildoers.
It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near and their doom rushes upon them. The LORD will vindicate his people and relent concerning his servants when he sees their strength is gone and no one is left, slave or free. Deuteronomy 32:35-36
3. If meting out justice, never exacting more than an eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth, whether an offense involving an alien or a citizen.
Anyone who injures their neighbor is to be injured in the same manner: fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. The one who has inflicted the injury must suffer the same injury. Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a human being is to be put to death. You are to have the same law for the foreigner and the native-born. I am the Lord your God. Leviticus 24:19-22
4. Taking vengeance in their own hands, as in the story of the ancient Midianites.
So Moses said to the people, “Arm some of your men to go to war against the Midianites so that they may carry out the Lord's vengeance on them." Numbers 31:1-3

Peace is difficult to find when both sides continue to kill the other's children.
So sad.
