Why do some people back Israel and some don't?

Question

I really don't know. I heard on Yahoo Answers that it was becuase it would bring Jesus back. Can I please have a mature response? If this is what you believe, feel free to say. I'm just trying to make sense of it all.

Answer 1

Holocoust! Many continue to feel a need to support them for the wrongs commited aganst them, as the world was aware of the crimes. Others feel the Jews have committed many crimes agaInst the palestinian people[and Lebanonese during their invasion and occupation} Isralis HAVE USED UP all sympathy due them and need to answer for THEIR CRIMES.

Answer 2

This really isn't about backing Israel. It's about supporting terrorists.

Although anti-semitism is a bad thing, treason by large numbers of westerners, especially in the face of an enemy that so clearly wants us all to die, is something to be very, VERY concerned about.

The problem is marxism. Marxism is constantly trying to create a totalitarian system like under the Nazis and under the communists. To date, they have failed to bring the entire world under sway. But that doesn't mean they haven't stopped trying.

How far they are willing to go is something we all need to be aware of. Put bluntly, they are trying to manipulate the world into a nuclear holocaust and have been pretty much since the time the A bomb was invented. They hope to take over the world in the aftermath.

Anyway, all the anti-Israel sentiment serves this purpose. They really don't care about Israel much one way or the other. What they want is to delay dealing with the terrorists until Iran supplies them with nuclear weapons.

Answer 3

Man cannot bring Jesus back. Jesus will come back at a time of his chosing, so we can blow up the entire Middle East and not provoke the Lord to return.

As far as supporting or not supporting Israel, that's a personal choice. You either believe what they are doing is righteous or not. There are many people that don't support either side. Unfortunately, there are many more people that don't care about the entire situation.

That area needs peace and the world needs to get involved to ensure it is a peaceful area.

Answer 4

Islam Hates Israel

Answer 5

Those that back Israel tend to believe that the Jewish people have a right to a proper nation of their own as historically they have been persecuted in almost every country they have been in. In addition to this, supporters of Israel beleive that the creation of the state of Israel is a necessary condition for the second coming of Christ. This is why you get Christians fervently supporting Israel in addition to Jews. It really comes down to this: people who support Israel beleive that Jewish people have a historical, biblical and moral right to live in this area. Those who don't support Israel beleive the Jewish people "stole" the land from the Palestinians and manipulated western governments (primarily the USA) into defending and financing the zionist state through Jewish control of the media.

Answer 6

People back Israel because they have done their homework.
Israel is in the right. Not just because they are Biblically
correct, but because the hatred on the other side is just plain
wrong.
