Israel is not that different from any other country.

Do you support the existence of the USA, Canada, Australia, and Northern Ireland? What about the partition of Pakistan and India? How does the existence of these states differ from the existence of Israel?

Why should the behavior of a government challenge the right of the state's existence? Was the right of Iraq to exist ever challenged because of the behavior of Saddam Hussein?

Prior to the creation of Israel a number of places had been proposed, Uganda as well as Palestine, as a European solution to the "Jewish problem" that had existed since the creation of Christian states in Europe. European Christians didn't want to live with Jews. Jewish settlements were allowed or disallowed on the whim of rulers, and Jews were not accorded the rights of citizens. "Jewish emancipation" took over a hundred years, from the time of Napoleon to the Russian Revolution.

The United States didn't want the Jews either. Starting in the mid-1920's, quotas severely restricted immigration.

And then came Hitler.

In some ways, the creation of Israel was a matter of convenience for the victors of WWII, since they had done nothing to prevent the Holocaust and did nothing to help the victims during the war, even refusing to let refugees into their countries. During and after WWI, the British made promises to various Arab interest groups in exchange for their support. Britain could not keep its promises--some of them contradicted each other--and washed its hands of the problem in 1948.

The Jews happened to win the battle over that piece of real estate.

Yes, absolutely.

The land was conquored by the Hebrews over the Canaanites during the reign of King David. Because of the love they have for their own land, and even though scattered amongst the nations, they returned to fight for what was originally theirs. They bought swamp land and turned it into furtile feilds. They have everything required to be an official nation.

The amazing event was prophesied more than 10 times, in precise detail in the Tonakh.
http://www.konig.org/page3.htm

Note that an event like this has never happened before in all of history. In fact, Robert Anderson who was the inspector for Scotland Yard (who caught Jack the Ripper) took the book of Daniel as providing the date Messiah was to come. His incredible calculations pinpointed the DAY Jesus rode in to Jerusalem. For this, he was knighted by Queen Victoria and became Sir Robert Anderson. However, he read other prophesies regarding Israel becoming a nation again and thought that this was WAY too preposterous. No nation, after being conquered and scattered, EVER returned again to form a nation and a people. So it must have had some "allegorical" meaning to it. Well, in 1948, Sir Robert Anderson was proven wrong. Sir Robert Anderson believed the Bible, but his doubt in a wild claim such as Israel becoming a nation was too much for him. THAT is how accurate prophecy is. Before the fulfillment took place, Anderson assumed it was wrong (having lived in the Victorian era pre 1948). He twisted nothing, but assumed it was something else entirely.

Israel becoming a nation again is NOT man's idea. It was God's plan. So it will be Him that the next battle over Israel will take place. This is what the time of Jacob's Trouble will be all about.

as much as I support the existance of America or Australia or probably many other countries with even worse backgrounds.

Absolutely! Think about this. There was no such thing as Israel for nearly 1900 years. Only a fool would not at least be in awe of the fact that there "IS" an Israel today.

Israel is a big deal. Pay close attention to it. It is a key player in the end times scenario.

It's a country like any other, no more or less important. When the curtain covering the Most Holy tore open at the time of the death of Christ, it showed that God's Holy Spirit no longer resided there. As for supporting its existence, that's not important to Christians as Christ said nothing about it. His instructions were clear on what his followers are to do or support.

we must look at the "big picture” with a biblical worldview. we don't have to support everything israel does as a nation, we most definitely should support israel’s right to exist. God will fulfill his promises and covenants with israel. God still has a plan for israel

No; it is an artificial state much like Thomas Masaryk's Czechoslovakia,and very similar,except that the dominant ethnic group is vastly more cruel and inhuman than the Czechs ever were. I'm a human right activist; I am co-chair for a Amnesty International local group. I follow events daily in the Gaza strip and the West Bank. These Jews - lavishly endowed by wealthy philanthrophists - were imposed there by the British Empire when Palestine under the mandate was a de facto colony of Britain. They "declared" independence at the height of a U.S. election,cleverly surmising that Truman would recognize their pseudo-government to gain media support. Their claim to legitimacy was based on the idea that they were a majority; they were not,and brutally displaced three-fourths of the indigenous population. Their propaganda line was "a land without people for a people without land". It sounds like a Madison Avenue ad slogan and about as honest. You know,you're not really clean unless you're Zestfully clean. As things stand,conditions in Gaza - supposedly no longer occupied - are like the Warsaw Ghetto,they can't go in or out or they'll be shot by the IDF; the waters are patrolled by Jewish ships to make sure they can conduct no trade. As for the West Bank,it's being covered with Great Walls as they are called,to keep the Palestinians in their place. Try bringing up theBBC ONline for this week's coverage; you won't get it from the so-called U.S. press. Meanwhile these Jewish guys run around with machine guns,wearing for some reason khaki hot-pants and waving their tommyguns at every Palestinian they see,even elderly women ( hey - you never know); most of them are office workers but they are called "settlers" as though they worked on old 20's style kibbutzim. If you saw Jerusalem before 1967,you're a lucky person. Gone,the shepards. Gone the stone cottages. Gone the villages,there for hundreds of years. "All ist verfallen" - bulldozed,paved over and converted to apartment complexes and strip malls. It's enough to make you want to puke. Christians used to be able to live there; now no one may immigrate to this so-called country - which denies being a racial state - unless they can prove Jewish ancestry going back four generations. But American taxpayers pay billions to support this piece of crap. The subject is endless; let us say,I believe in democracy; I support a legitimate Palestinian government is which all may participate irregardless of race,creed or color; I support the Palestinian right-of-return,so there goes you're Jewish majority and with it the law that you cannot hold public office unless you speak fluent hebrew,so like Masaryk's scheme to achieve Czech domination of the Slovaks by making Czech the "official" language. Meanwhile Americans fundies spas out with enthusiasm for this Frankenstein concoction because they think it's the "Isreal" of the Old testament. But the Jews with their trillions aren't going to share with anyone; there isn't going to be a pluralistic democracy; they aren't going to return the Golan Heights (carved off from Syria),and they certainly aren't going to tolerate an independent Palestinian state comprised of the West Bank and the Gaza strip,not that that would hold 8 million Palestinians. They are going to sit there slaughtering the locals,invading their neighbors,bombing Lebanon,until one day someone like Nasrallah truly pulls it all together and does what needs to be done, by sheer force of numbers,and damn the casualties. There isn't going to be a peaceful settlement,like the dismantling ( finally) of Czechoslovakia in 1991,returning to Hungary the chunk carved off,to Poland the chunk carved off; to the the Slovaks their freedom. Oh no. These Jews - almost none of them indeginous and (laugh of laughs) almost all of them atheists,something they wouldn't want fundies to know - these so-called Jewish Supermen or "sabras" are going to respond to one thing and one thing only,and that is sheer brute force,against which all their dollars will prove quite useless. I support Palestine's right to exist - and to decide who is or is not a Palestinian. And the Jews are not. They can go back where they came from or die.
