Doesn't Israel give Christians a bad name?

Question

Since majority of Americans are Christians and we are forced to fight in the Middle East because of ignorant congressmen such as Joe Lieberman who was the 1st person who thought the war in Iraq is a must and also pushed president Bush to go to war. He only wants to defend Israel from Iraq and uses lies to invade Iraq. And now our troops are being seen as Crusaders by the Islamic world. Now Muslims around the world think that Christians are bad people when in fact the Jews (congress) are giving order for the troops to fight. The whole war in Iraq was for the protection of Israel and now it shows clearly. That congressman Liarman oh sorry Lieberman right, he always goes against violents mostly in video games, but when it comes to him he is willing to kill people in Iraq, isn't that real violents idiot!!!??

Answer 1

Yes Congress, the media and AIPAC lobby have the power. Lets just pray that we dont get into it with Iran which is the same exact story since Israel can have nuclear weaponry; but not Iran evidently. Its very upsetting to me.

Answer 2

I don't know where you got all your information from? but, maybe you'd like to share it with us?

In all the Mideastern countries, Israel is the last one to need "defending" they are probably as strong or, at least would make a formidable opponent, to us or any other nation as strong as us.

What has Christians and Israel have to do together? we are two complete separate entities as far as religion goes. We have nothing in common and, never will.

I don't think the President was "pushed" by Lieberman or anyone else, this was something he and his cabinet of maybe twenty others decided on. And, to say the least again. we are not protecting Israel from Iraq, Iran or anyone else.
The Israels were in fact beating on the door, to say something, and, wanted to join us in the fight but, the President Had to hold them off due to Saudi threatening to send in troops to help the Iraqis if Israel joined the war effort. Israel was hoping for this, they wanted to kick a... in the Mid east. they would be a formidable opponent.

My dear fellow, do you know that you're not the first one to have used the Jews as a scapegoat for their frustration? A very famous man in history also found that the woes of the world came from these people. To start of with, a Jewish Maitre d'Art wouldn't accept him into an art school. And then, while he was starving in the streets, many prosperous Jews lived in palaces. Actually, it didn't take him long to find that his country would soon crumble because of the Jews in power in the existing government. Soon, he was persuaded (and persuaded many people) that it was their Christian duty to get rid of the Jews first in power, then in the country. You know after all it was the Jews who murdered Christ!!...and all that.(Remind you of anyone?) His party became very powerful, and soon he took over his country (he was clever, mind you!). They conquered many surrounding countries mercilessly, and crushed any offending race e.g. the Jews. They put Europe to blood and fire, and just as well the U.S. ended up by bringing liberty back to Europe. Largely, thanks to huge funding by many wealthy American businessmen, many of them Jews. Horrible death camps, torture places, and remains of mass killings were found left by that little man.His country is still paying back huge war debts. So, your line of thinking is not new, but can only bring strife.
As to what the Arab world will think of the Xtian US, why should it bother you, as we've seen what Islam does (Sep.11, terror in Israel etc..).
As for Jews in the USA, they have brought great prosperity & I consider them American just like the rest of us. Racism will only drag you down.
Shalom!

A renewed Israel is a demonstration of the tip of Days. there are a number of factions of the Christian faith that sense the tip of Days is close to. examine through R&S slightly and you will see a minimum of a dozen mentions on a daily basis of the tip of the international being precise around the corner. as a results of fact it says someplace in the Bible that Israelis are the chosen of God, this faction of Christianity feels that by using helping Israel, while the tip of situations does come, God will see those helping Israel as being part of the winning team (spiritually speaking). a watch-establishing e book on the undertaking is "Prophecy and Politics: Militant Evangelists on the line to Nuclear conflict" by using Grace Halsell. that is from 1986 and became into written in accordance with Ronald Reagan and various of different of his political appointees being part of one of those factions of Christianity. That pronounced, many of the factors raised in the e book are in basic terms as valid right this moment as a results of fact former President George W. Bush is likewise a member of one of those factions. For a e book on the belief of Christian Zionism that became into pronounced previously, attempt "Allies for Armageddon: the upward push of Christian Zionism" by using Victoria Clark. that is all with reference to the tip of the international. not extra suffering. very final team spirit in the dominion of heaven. Stuff like that. situations are complicated those days, yet somewhat than do issues in this international to make it extra beneficial, seems some are hoping to take a Mulligan in this existence and have yet another circulate at it in heaven. in my view, that is mindless to me. yet that is my opinion.
