Israel Attacked and its Response

[TuffaloDeac10]

Actually much of the Fundamentalist Christian support of Israel is based in End of Days theory. They think the second coming is predicated on what happens to Israel.

I agree with this, and think it myself, but I don't understand how a certain type of Christian has moved from blood libels to unwavering support of Zionism. I think we might be missing some underlying cause.

That's a hall of fame non-sequitur right there.

He is known for them.

Doesn't sound like there is any really great reason from a policy point of view.

Do the Republicans know Israel has gay marriage and women in combat and a big welfare state? You'd think the liberals would be all over that.

Nor will they bury anyone with tattoos in Israeli soil. So, there's also that.

the really unfortunate irony about all this is it creates the impression that jew hatred is more prevalent than it actually is. Jews were persecuted well before christ was born. but for the first time in literally thousands of years, my understanding is that global antisemitism is actually at all time lows and trending down in most of the places that matter (Europe especially has come a long way in 60-70 years). too bad the location of their state, and some of the policies they pursue , actually increase the very antisemitism they, justly, want to escape from and or mitigate.

Imagine a world where they'd created a Jewish state in Manitoba, instead of on the single most sacred stretch of ground on Earth.

Except there was a Jewish state there before there was an England or a Canada or a United States or a France.

Meaningless in 1945. There was a Native American coalition of peoples across North America before the United States.

At the end of WWII you had a war-ravaged globe, and important decisions needed to be made with an eye toward long-term stability and peace.

We're never going to agree on this. So we might as well leave it here.

There is an exclusion for Nazi death camp tattoos.

In theory you can't be buried in Jewish cemetery anywhere if you have a tattoo(s).

Soverign states can defend themselves. They dont exist solely at the whim of their benefactors.
