Is Israeli leaders' orientation based on Moses telling Jews in Torah to kill off inhabitants of promised land?

Question

After 40 years' march in the desert, on arriving at the promised land, that's what Moses supposedly told the Israelites to do, kill the people who were living there, with some differences according to particular territories whether to kill off everybody or just all the men or all the adults.

In modern times we have come to condemn such systematic wholesale slaughter as genocide, particularly as practiced by Hitler, but also, for example, as the Turks did to the Armenians and the US did to the Indians.

The Bible and Torah in Genesis 49 condemn the cruel ways of the Levis; that such nasty ways are to be regarded as separate and apart from the spirit of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Moses is said to have both mother and father from the tribe of Levi, so the condemnation clearly applies to him.

Can we point out this condemnation of the cruel ways of Levi, so Israeli leadership doesn't rely on Moses's urging genocide as justification for their policies against Arabs?

Answer 1

Turkish government offered Armenian government to establish an international committee in UN.

The Turkish government said that both governments should make all resources, historical documents available for this committee and this committee should be free to research in both countries and both countries should accept the decision and be liable to the final result.

Armenian government rejected it.

The European Parliament sent the Armenian president a letter, urging him to support the Turkish request. Probably they rejected again because I never heard about a EU, UN or any other international committee working on it yet.

Armenia continue to make propaganda against Tukey, say that there are lots of proofs, documents etc. but do not accept establishing an international committee which can finally come out with certain results. If you are so sure, why to hide then ?

The claimed genocide was in a time of a civil war that Armenians, Azeris, Turks and Kurds involved. Turkey accepts that thousands of Armenians was killed by Turkish gangs, militas but thousands of Azeris, Kurds and Turks were killed by Armenians also in the same period. So it is not so easy to name it as a genocide.

It is same every where, my friend. The actual history and national history that tought in schools,family etc. is different in every country. If you are an Armenian, may be it is time for you to check other side of the story. For instance, you may start with the Azeris killed by Armenians.

You are lucky that you have a government which have strong lobby activities in other countries, means to reach international media. Armenia is capable of making enough noise about genocide claims and trying to make the world feel pity about them. On the other hand, claims of Azeirs about mass killings and international human rights crimes that done by Armenia cannot find any audience in the world today.

The claimed armenian genocide was almost a century ago. The claimed first Azeri genocide was almost a century ago, and then again and then again. Today there are still thousands of refugees because of the conflict between Azerbaycan and Armenia. Why don't you focus on your existing problem first because of which thousands of families is still suffering ????

Answer 2

Dear Friendly,
I am an Armenian. It is not the answer of your question,but I wanted to explain something. You can not use the word "Genocide" for the subject between us and the Turks. That thing what happened in early 1900's was our guilt. We first cheated the Turks and then the revenged. It is very hard for me to say, but it is so simple. The meaning of "Genocide" is much more different. There is generally no problem between us. But because of the people in other countries, who doesn't know the real history, our relation suffers damage. Please think and make some investigation before asking a question !!!

Most Israeli leaders are not religiously observant, and couldn't care less what the Bible says, for all that it's their heritage. Their orientation is largely a pluralist secular humanist one. But, as Israeli politicians, their orientation is that they want political power within Israel, and the survival of their state in the wider world. Currently, Hamas came across a quiet border and kidnapped and killed Israel's people within pre-1967 Israel, and Hizbollah did the same a little later. If this is not dealt with, Israel fears this will happen more often and farther into their land, until Israel is wiped out. This fear drives their more intense fighting today.

Answer 4

Learn the history first and then learn the meaning of the "Genocide". Comparing the issue between Turks and armenians with Hitler-Jews and American's- Native Indians is only a misfortune of ignorant people. Are you an ignorant one?
If no, you should read and read and read and you musn't to malign the Turks, who are clean people with honor.

No gadget is acceptable yet open and unfastened industry is the suitable accessible.
