"Jesus came into the world to save sinners".
Hamas is certainly qualified, as is everyone else.

Try to remember that Palestinans are "Arabs", as many seem to not understand that reality.
Also, "all who call on the name of Jesus (believing) shall be saved" by God.
our "faith is counted by God as (Christ's inputed) Righteousness"..
So, anyone and everyone, is invited to come to Jesus and be forgiven by God.

God makes us all "acceptable" once we give God our FAITH in Christ.
The only hoop they have to jump through is having saving faith in our Lord Jesus Christ!
Some terrorists have become Christians and testify to the Lord changing them.There's an old saying "love the sinner but hate the sin." That is what I do.

'Then said the LORD,
Thou hast had pity on the gourd,
for the which thou hast not laboured,
neither madest it grow;
which came up in a night,
and perished in a night:
And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city,
wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons
that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand;
and also much cattle?'
(Jon 4:10)
Hello @quietthinker,
Why do you assume that we, as individual believers, do not have concern for those poor people, caught up as they are between two factions, Israel and Hamas, and suffering unbelievable agonies: of loss of loved ones, hunger, homelessness and extreme vulnerability in the face of aerial bombardment, and ground based sniper fire ? For the people of Israel too, who are suffering the agony of not knowing how their loved ones are, shut up underground, confined, suffering hunger, deprivation and extreme cruelty.
If Hamas had let the hostages go, then perhaps this state of affairs would not have arisen. Things could have been brought to a different conclusion. Who knows? I certainly don't. The outcome is known only by God, Who alone has foreknowledge.
We, as individuals, can only pray, and leave it in God's hands. His will, will ultimately be done in regard to all the nations of the world, we can only live, looking, for the appearing of our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, when our hope will be realised, and we will appear with Him in glory. Only He can deal with the mess in Palestine, only He can bring peace.
In Christ Jesus
Chris

Anyone who justifies the atrocities occurring in the Middle East for whatever reason even while speaking of the mercy of God, speaks from both sides of their mouth.
Hello @quietthinker,
Why are you throwing out these meaningless statements, without engaging with your responses. For it serves no purpose.

They might be meaningless statements to you.....but that is because you're probably unfamiliar with the connections.
Hello @quietthinker,
Perhaps so.
What do you believe should be done to relieve the suffering taking place on both sides? Will stopping the fighting bring the hostages home? Will it bring peace to the region?
Within the love of Christ our Saviour,
our Lord and Head.
Chris
