re: Why do so many Americans feel we have to always aid israel?

Kinda wild how Christian’s in America now will claim that gods chosen people aren’t even Christian’s

quote:

Because a lone democracy and people surrounded by enemies on all sides that wish them extinction need a friend and ally, and we are that friend and ally. Because the roots of Western Civilization, of which we are most certainly a part of, are firmly rooted in and from Israel and are reflected in our faith, our common morals, and so many other things that bind us together as peoples, and those who desire slaughtering civilians just to watch them die are the enemies of both our peoples, and all of Western Civilization. And finally, because Israel does more to keep us up to speed on threats to this nation that they many times exceed what we gather from our own intelligence agencies, and that keeps America safe.

Why is it so hard for many Americans, especially the religious right, to understand that

I guess the same reason that it is so hard for so many Americans, especially the immature "Merca First!" parrots, to understand that in the foreign policy game of chess, Israel is a strategic piece that it benefits the US to support. The benefit greatly outweighs what we give them.

I think the quality of thought has deteriorated so much in the US lately that lots of people can't connect any dots anymore, no matter how simple. Because they follow idiots like Tucker Carlson around sniffing his butt, not realizing that he's intentionally stirring discord because it benefits him financially to do so.

Jews? You're not allowed to criticize Jews?



You sure you didn't mean Reptilian Illuminati?

Why is that our problem? How does a powerful Iran threaten us? They are a regional threat and that's it.

A powerful Iran would control the Persian Gulf. Do you understand the importance of that? That is a direct threat against a significant amount of world’s energy. And a powerful, unchecked Iran would dominate the Middle East, extending its control to the Suez Canal.

Supporting Israel makes god happy and bless us. Next question.

We only support Israel to have an attack dog in the region. It has nothing to do with "god"

The US pays Israel for restraint, we need to stop doing that.

Go frick yourself.

Because it’s the right thing to do.

Honest answer to your question is that many Americans are members of protestant denominations who follow the belief of "dispensationalism" which asserts that Jews and Christians will be brought to salvation under different plans/rules, and that Jews are God's Chosen People who will be saved regardless of their belief in Christ, so it follows that anyone who espouses a dispensational doctrine would want to support Israel in everything they do.

Not all Christians hold to this doctrine. Some Christians actually read and study their Bibles and understand that the dispensational doctrine is not taught anywhere in the scriptures, and is little more than a political doctrine claiming to have biblical roots and authority.

On a non-religious basis, Americans have been taught (rightly or wrongly) that most of the nations in the Middle East are strongly anti-American and instigators of terrorism, and that only Israel is a reliable ally in this region.
