When the Assyrian King Sargon II destroyed the northern kingdom of Israel in 722 BC, the southern kingdom of Judah must have been terrified. To hear the reports of chained captives led away to distant lands, the cities burning and the ground littered with corpses must have been horrifying. Moreover, it wasn’t long before flocks of strangers—captives from other conquered nations in line with a common Assyrian practice to resettle vanquished populations—flooded into the deserted lands to replace the Israelites that once lived there (2 Kings 17:24), bringing their foreign gods with them. The future Samaritans had arrived!

The images grip your heart. A broken father—grief streaming in rivulets down his cheeks—rocking the lifeless body of his two-year-old daughter after the toddler and her pregnant mother were supposedly killed in an Israeli airstrike. A mother’s tears pooling on the picture of a beaming preschooler—riotous curls framing an angelic face—as she cradles the bloodstained clothing her son wore when he was caught in the crossfire between Israeli and Palestinian militants. Two women holding onto each other as they shriek their sorrow skyward over a line of shroud-covered loved ones who allegedly perished in an Israeli bombing.
The accusations that Israel slaughters innocent Palestinian women and children are not new. They resound with unwavering predictability during every round of back-and-forth fighting between the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Palestinian terror groups. And with tragic images like these flashing across screens, who could blame millions around the world for believing Israel guilty of war crimes?
