Stay with scripture, you're taking on something beyond your ability to comprehend, evil in this world, God deals with it.
Since more children and people have been killed by Israel than in the terrorist attack, should they stop?

Guantanamo? Pretending Saudi Arabia had nothing to do with it? I don't think we know who did it, so how it is you think you did something? There are real questions going around about controlled demolitions, cover ups, inside help etc etc. Who really are the terrorists?
If God deals with it why support blowing up apartments with people who have nowhere to flee? God is not doing that or asking anyone to.
Right. Point? How does that relate to wiping out apartment after apartment and killing kids in them?
Psalm 34:16
The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
Proverbs 28:5
Evil men do not understand justice, But those who seek the Lord understand all.
Evil men do not understand justice, But those who seek the Lord understand all.
1 Peter 3:12
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their prayers; But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
It is evil to blow up babies and families. What does that tell you about God's take on it?
Genesis 19:24
Then the Lord rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the Lord out of the heavens.
Genesis 19:28
Then he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain; and he saw, and behold, the smoke of the land which went up like the smoke of a furnace.
Sodom and Gomorrah had little children and families too don't you think?
Israel loves Him?
Absurd. They are no more allowed to leave than prison inmates are.
You want toddlers to wave diapers out a window?
I see people wandering in the rubble homeless and no food medical or water or place to go. They are protecting Hamas?
Israel is not the Lord in case that is news. Gaza is not Sodom! Guess who more closely resembles Sodom? The bible even says Jerusalem is also called Sodom!
God's judgement
Therefore, as I live,” Says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, “Surely Moab shall be like Sodom, And the people of Ammon like Gomorrah— Overrun with weeds and saltpits, And a perpetual desolation. The residue of My people shall plunder them, And the remnant of My people shall possess them.
How about NOAH then and the great flood?
You would not approve?
Zephaniah 2:9

They shall when He returns. Meanwhile, obviously that is not any excuse for a secular unbelieving nation to terrorize and blow up families. Like it or not.
God's testimony of all mankind is their hearts are EVIL from their youth. When He destroys a nation, we also don't know exactly the fate of their infants and young children do we.
20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 21 And the Lord smelled a soothing aroma. Then the Lord said in His heart, “I will never again curse the ground for man’s sake, although the imagination[a] of man’s heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done.
22 “While the earth remains,
Seedtime and harvest,
Cold and heat,
Winter and summer,
And day and night
Shall not cease.”

We should indeed, pray for all.
But most have not perceived all that is happening and has happened. The scriptures do not say, pray for the peace of Israel...but "pray for the peace of Jerusalem." The point being, there is much more going on here than meets the eye.
The modern state of Israel, unbeknownst to many of Jewish descent, is not the same Israel of the Bible...and that is a huge subject (which, because it is, I have started another thread about it). But also, and more importantly, since the scripture actually says to pray for the peace of "Jerusalem" rather than Israel, it should first be understood that the Jerusalem that we are to pray for, was actually not the earthly city, but the heavenly city. Just as Christ referred not to the temple of stone, but to the Temple of His body, the scriptures regarding praying for the peace of Jerusalem, refer rather to the heavenly Jerusalem. Which is to say, pray for the peace of God.
Even so, pray.
