US military aid to Israel persists amid ongoing Gaza conflict
Moral issue
Continuation of US military aid to Israel amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza, described as genocide.
Biblical principle
Support for war must align with divine justice and avoid perpetuating injustice.
Old Testament
“As strong as I was at that time when I was sent to view the land: the strength of that time continueth in me until this day, as well to fight as to march.”
Highlights personal strength used for fighting, prompting reflection on the righteousness of such strength.
“And the angel said to him: Why beatest thou thy ass these three times? I am come to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse, and contrary to me:”
Warns against a perverse way, suggesting that actions contrary to divine will are condemned.
New Testament
No passages cited.
Analysis
The passage Joshua 14:11 speaks of personal strength for battle, while Numbers 22:32 rebukes a perverse way that opposes divine guidance. Applying these to the modern context, the provision of military aid may be seen as supporting a path that is contrary to the call for peace and justice, creating tension with biblical calls for righteousness.
Why these passages apply
Joshua 14:11 illustrates the use of strength in conflict, raising the question of whether such strength is being applied justly. Numbers 22:32 warns against a perverse way, suggesting that continued aid may be complicit in an unjust path.
