There are thousands of different religions that say otherwise so that argument is weak

Well to a believer that follows Christ, it is not really weak at all.

The Jews are God's people. The bible says that they do in fact get a hall pass or as somebody said, a get out of jail free card. The problem is that most don't believe Christ died for their sins which is what gets Christians (dead and alive) into heaven when Christ returns and keeps those still alive after his departure from being ruled by the Anti-Christ and having to take the mark of the Beast. Jew and non-Jew that take the mark will be banished to hell but a Jew that makes it gets the hall pass since they are one of God's chosen people.

Aloha Snackbar baw!

American Evangelical Christians believe that they must help Israel retake and rebuild the temple mount in order to facilitate the Rapture and the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Others just see Palestinians reject peace offer after peace offer and are tired of putting up with their whining.

Dispensationalism that infiltrated the evangelical Protestant churches

Iran

What crime other than holding hostages at the behest of the American government until the transition from the Carter admin has Iran ever committed?


US staged a coup d'etat in '53
After Watergate the info was released &
Caused an uprising in Iran to remove the Shah(US puppet)
The US then froze all of Iran's assets essentially stealing them
They held hostages who were CIA operatives(internationally illegal for CIA to be embassy workers) demanding the release of their assets
Rumsfeld told them to hold the hostages until Reagan was elected
They were told that when they released the hostages the assets would be released
On Reagan's inauguration day they released all the hostages unharmed
The US did not release the money and got Iraq to start a war
They gave Saddam Hussein chemical weapons
Saddam killed a million Iranians over a decade long war (US weapons & funding)
They're trying to curb their reliance on fossil fuels
They pursue nuclear energy like many other nations
The US accuses them of trying to make nuclear weapons, which their process doesn't support
The US assassinates multiple nuclear scientists



But Iran is evil? With the chemical weapons, the lies, assassinations, theft, propaganda and manipulation..... What did Iran do that tips the scales so drastically in your mind to say that they are evil respective to the evil that's been done to them?

1). We believe in the same God, even though they reject the savior.

2). Common values stemming from same Judeo-Christian morality and belief system

3) They are the only Democracy in the region, and we have an obligation to defend that.

4). Because Israel needs a friend as they are surrounded by fierce enemies on all sides, and others not in the region are too chicken to stand up for them.
