Meet Tarek Loubani, the Canadian Doctor Shot by Israeli Forces Monday While Treating Gaza's Wounded (Transcript)
As Palestinians vow to continue protesting against the Israeli occupation of Gaza, we speak to a Canadian doctor who was shot by Israeli forces in both legs Monday [May 14] while he was helping injured Palestinians. Israeli forces shot dead at least 61 unarmed Palestinian protesters taking part in the Great March of Return Monday, including one doctor. Canada, Britain, Germany, Ireland, and Belgium have called for an investigation into the killings. The United Nations Human Rights Council has announced that it will hold a special session Friday to discuss escalating violence in Gaza. We speak with Dr. Tarek Loubani, an emergency room medical doctor, one of 19 medical personnel shot in Gaza on Monday.

Isn't that the idea behind the Christian support of Zionism, though? Get the Tribes of Israel back to the Promise Land, slaughter the infidels, and then Third Impact starts.

I think you refer to the rapture, then the 7 years of Satan rule of earth, and then the 1000 year reign of Christ. Or something like that. And, I have no desire to live to see that 1000 year reign.
Imagine: You_are_the_son_of_God. You permitted the savages to kill you once. But, now it's time for payback. You're going to rule with an iron fist, and absolutely_no_one is going to get away with any sin. Teenage boy giving the wistful eye to a pretty little girl - BAM! You just think about it, and shrivel his little dick off, along with his testicles. An accountant is thinking hard about how to embezzle enough to pay off his mortgage - BAM! Massive coronary, and you banish his ass directly to Hell. Some politician comes to lobby you for some stupid shit, telling you that his constituents will benefit from blah blah blah - BAM! His brain aneurysm let's go, and you banish his ass to Hell - do not pass "Go", do not collect $200.
I suspect that Christ's rule would make any of us wish that we could choose Sharia Law, as harsh as that is.
