for all my fellow christians: gimme some passage in the bible that says we r supposed to support israel in absolutely everything they do no matter wut crap they do. and dont just tell me theyre Gods chosen people or use the "pray for the peace of jerusalem" verse. they DONT COUNT, no matter how much u want them to. God turned away from israel and let them be destroyed after they continually dropped the ball. so y do we have to stand by them no matter how many people they persecute and kill?

Paul instructs us as to the immense debt we Gentiles owe Israel for our spiritual inheritance, and reminds us of our duty to help Israel in earthly matters. (Romans 15: 27 - "For if the Gentiles have shared in their (the Jews) spiritual things, they are indebted to minister to them also in material things.")
Also, "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, they shall prosper that love thee." (Psalm 122:6) -- every country that has risen up against Israel has been crushed.
Finally, we support Israel because all other nations were created by an act of men, but Israel was created by an act of God!

Gen 12:2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
Gen 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
It's not about supporting them bombing people, it's about supporting them as God says, above.

nu...so don't support us because your bible tell you so. maybe read the news and learn some history and support israel because of the facts on the ground.
or don't. your support is meaningless.

They are one of our allies, and when it comes between them and terrorism, naturally we will support our allies.
