Yep! :thumb:
If so, in what way(s) should the US support Israel?
Think athletic supporter or brassiere. :chuckle:

Here was this little country, standing against virtually the entire Arab world, AND THEY STOOD THEIR GROUND! If this wasn't an intervention, by God, I don't know what is! I feel that it is very obvious that God is INDEED watching over Israel!
in His love,

ebenz47037 said:This is one reason I don't get into conversations about Israel a lot. No matter, who I'm talking to, they start mentioning the poor Palestinians and how Israel's oppressed them. How long have the Palestinians been sending suicide bombers into crowded areas in Israel? They weren't even interested in having their own country until Israel was founded (present era).
What are the Israelis supposed to do? Are they supposed to just sit there when Palestinians are coming into the malls, busses, and restaurants to kill the children of Israel? I think the Israelis took it as long as they could. People always talk about the innocent Palestinians that are killed by the "evil" Israelis. But, what about the Israeli children that are killed when some idiot who thinks he's going to get to Paradise and have however many virgins it is goes onto a bus and blows himself and the passengers to kingdom come? Isn't that considered murdering innocents? How about when a Palestinian straps a bomb to his body and walks into a nightclub and blows up himself and others? Of course, most people who talk to me about it think that the Palestinians have been forced into the bombing by the oppressing Israelis. Well, the United States has sent money to the Palestinians as well as to Israel. Why are the Palestinians not using that money to get out of the squalor they live in? It's because their leaders want the world to see them living as they do so they will have sympathy!
Do the Palestinians have my sympathy? To an extent. But, they voted to keep Arafat in office even though he's done nothing to bring a real peace to the region.
The people in this country need to get their heads out of the sand and look at the whole thing, not just the story we're getting spoon-fed from the media. I like how Michael Savage (radio talk show host) said it, "You need to wake up and quit being part of the ostrich brigade!"
I, for one, refuse to be part of the ostrich brigade!
We should treat them no differently than any other country. I think I would lower the current level of support.Bump.
If not, why not?
If so, in what way(s) should the US support Israel?
It really is as simple as this:
If the Islamic Arabs put down their arms there would be no more violence.
If the Jews put down their arms there would be no more Israel.
The United States should continue to support Israel for these reasons.
The US has no biblical reason to support Israel any more so than any other country. If we were living 2,000 years ago, yes. If we were living in the Tribulation or Millenium, yes. In this dispensation where Israel is LoAmmi, no.
Did you see your previous answer in this thread? This one is much more precise! :chuckle:We should treat them no differently than any other country. I think I would lower the current level of support.
:chuckle: I should have known I already posted in this thread. :drum:Did you see your previous answer in this thread? This one is much more precise! :chuckle:
