The one in particular I'm looking for is something about those who curse Isreal will be cursed.

Thanks for the reference. However, I don't understand how this passage applies to Israel since it is about Abraham who is the father of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Please look at Ephesians 3:6
"This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel; members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus."
As far as cursing Israel is concerned, God himself has cursed Israel and scattered them because of their disobedience. The verse you are looking for occurs many times in the old testament whenever Israel was instructed to take over territories. See David's instruction for war, Solomon's instruction for war, Joshua's Battle in Jericho. See also in Exodus and Leviticus for arrangement of tribal camps (Numbers 2) Remember, If God is for you, who can stand against you.

Try this:
Genesis 12:1-2
The Call of Abram
1 The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you.
2 "I will make you into a great nation
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you."
Abram- his name is later changed to AbraHam, the father of all Hebrews.
Then read Genesis 22, 23, 24.
you'll see it several times there also.

"I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you" Gen. 12:1-5
But you have to keep in mind that God tells us to pray for peace for them.
I don't condone what they are doing because I also understand that Nations today are not run off of the faith of the people but by the deeds of man. Plus these attacks are retaliation to the kidnapping and aggression from Lebanon and the Hamas. So I pray that God will guide both nations to peace because innocent people are dying.

Genesis 12:3 "And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse and in you all the families of the earth will be blessed."
That last part is referring to Jesus Christ.
Also in Genesis 27:29 and Numbers 24:9.

I know the verse, but I'll have to go home and look it up. It's probably in the O.T.. Do you have a concordance? This is a book that lists all major words in the Bible and gives verses and definitions. Jesus did say pray for the peace of Jurselum.

There are no bible passages supporting Zionism.
Like most everything else, Christians rely on ignorance as the foundation for their support for Zionism:
