Question
Is the present trouble with the Palestinians and with Israels neighbors in general in correlation with not following the Eternals instruction to Ancient Israel to totally wipe out it’s inhabitants and their Idolotry upon entering Eretz Israel.
Answer
The arabs of today although they might not be ideal neighbors are not considered idol worshipers. The precept to obliterate the nations inhabiting the land does not apply to the arabs. There is sufficiant reason to wage war against the arabs on their own merit.
