I certainly do but I don't understand them to say what people who believe the British Israelism blasphemy started by HW Armstrong and his " Worldwide Church of God" understands them to. It's amazing how teachings that were totally rejected by the church universal during Armstrong's lifetime are now accepted as the Gospel by the American RWNJ so called "Christian Right",

Well, if you believe that stuff all I can say is it didn't happen yet.

Israel is not a great nation.

The name Israel is not great.

Israel is certainly not a blessing to this world.

Maybe in another one or two thousand years..LOL

Go look up "Lavi fighter jet" and israel-china radar jamming; the US was able to stop those programs/sales BECAUSE of its aid - when that aid stops, Israel will, like every other country on earth, protect its own interests instead of acting as a US vassal state - and will tell the US to "take a hike" the next time it asks for a sale to be dropped.

Adults understand the complex relationships at work here, do you?
Well, it's certainly plain to me!

As I have known for a long time, Israel does not care for the rest of the world (especially the USA), only themselves. They don't even pretend to have morals anymore.

Their actions with their jets; isn't there a criminal term for that?

Let them sell those things to whomever. They probably are already.


I spent some time there, and talked to lots of Israelis, old and young.
I have no idea why the US is enamored with Israel and I wish it would stop!

It's the greatest nation in all the Middle East. It's the only one with normal people.

He meant it's the best in his little xenophobic world. Which, sadly, is probably the truth.

For its size it is great. It has come a long way and will continue to flourish.

For being a devote Christian why do you question what God has said?.. I don't think you are what you say.

This country has sent billions of dollars to its enemies. Israel is not the enemy.

What I do have a problem with is sending my sons and daughters or sons and daughters of other Americans to die for their biblical beliefs. They should put there money where there mouth is and send only their sons and daughters into battle to die for a middle east war they see as fulfilling biblical prophecy.
No one said it is a ticket to heaven. Jesus Christ never said it nor did God. One will be blessed if they support Israel. That is no ticket to heaven. One must be born of the spirit of God through Jesus Christ and accepting his word and following him.
