Palestinian Lives Don't Matter for the COGs

On February 19, 2016 Al Jazeera released very disturbing footage of the fatal shooting in Jerusalem of one Mohammad Khalaf by Israeli personnel.

It is asserted that he tried to stab the Israeli personnel stationed outside Damascus Gate. But since he was fatally shot numerous times it is now impossible for him to face a trial.

Among the COGs the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is simplistically viewed in black and white terms. One side is good. One side is bad, evil, sometimes even portrayed as satanic.

The COGs "watch" events in Jerusalem and the Holy Land thinking that the unfolding events reveal that the Great Tribulation and Christ's return will soon occur. In PCG for instance one future event they "watch" for is for Jerusalem to become divided. They expect the Palestinians to become stronger later.

But what they are not "watching" for anything that contradicts this view. They are taught to believe that the State of Israel will soon collapse and be conquered by Europe.

So when yet another Palestinian gets killed by Israeli personnel the COGs ignore it because it does not fit any prophetic scenario they have concerning the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. So far about 180 Palestinians and 30 Israelis have been killed in the Holy Land since October 1, 2015.

The COGs should look at the situation as it is instead of trying to find some sign that their false prophecies will soon come true.
