He means the home of Christianity surrounded by Islam. Israel, in its current political environment, won’t deface, destroy, or attempt to erase all Christian aspects in the area. Islam will

For one, there are almost as many Jews in the United States as there are in Israel.

As far as the non Jewish population and their support for Israel probably comes down to how closely the Christian and Jewish religions are intertwined.

During the late 70s early 80s a lot of tv evangical preachers sold the pro Israel stance for the CIA to southern Christians using end times scare tactic propaganda. If you have a parent that grew up in this era its heavily engrained.

Other people who arent religious maybe just like it for the geo political foothold.

I believe we have a duty to intervene when attempted genocide is ongoing.

Hamas wants the eradication of all Jews. I think that should be prevented. Same shite in China, unfortunately we are a bunch of pussies. But if we aren’t going to intervene in China, I would prefer we stay out of all foreign conflict.

Post WW1 isn't ancient times. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a modern conflict that came about when Palestinians were removed from land they felt they had claim to so the world could create the Jewish state of Israel. It's escalated further in more recent years with Israelis settling more and more in the Gaza Strip, further pushing Palestinians off their land.

For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.

What the frick for? Do they do anything for us? Are they constantly stirring up shite?
It seems one-sided to me which is unfortunate considering the shite we've took for being their allies.

Why the infatuation with Israel? They seem like a bunch of corrupt shitbags to me.


Personally I think Hamas is the most shitty group on the planet, and wouldn't mind seeing their leaders wiped out.

Strapping bombs to women and retarded kids, constantly sending rockets into Israel ….


Leadership resides elsewhere, puts all the pressure on the people..

God Himself gave Israel the land. Who is any man to say otherwise?

---this isn't true. Palestinians were not removed. Most chose to stay, and have equal voting rights with Jews in Israel. Unlike among most of Israel's neighbors.
The nations surrounding Israel for the most part refused to take in all the Palestinians who did want to migrate out of Israel.

Christians have historically been suspect of the Jewish people.

But about 80-90 years ago, Zionists began to infiltrate the various Christian denominations, with the culmination of the Second Vatican Council.

Christians went from the overall belief that Jews should be converted, to some strange ideology that they were God's chosen people who get a pass from accepting Christ.

quote:

Genesis 12:3

Isaiah 60:12


That's the Old Testament and the Old Covenant. The New Covenant supersedes the Old. Therefore, it is no longer in effect.

False.

There are far more Muslim Israelis than Christian.

Lebanon is far more Christian than Israel
