RB, We all feel that, surely. However, support is critically important, and having the right view of the situtation is important. The right “justification” seems paramount, when it comes to political rhetoric.

After all, the so-called “Palestinians” think they have a “right” to be there, and to rid themselves of Israel. (That latter part is what everyone forgets!) So, indeed, it’s not about RIGHTS. It’s about the will to exist. This comes about, or is executed, by force. Finally, the bigger guns win out. We can only pray that the righteous have the bigger guns.

My title was a echo of the whole Muslim protest, which is the seat of the problem. They think Israel has no RIGHT to exist as a state, as a nation. A completely unjustified attitude? There are some orthodox Jews who share this strange concept.

Therefore, my observation: the Jews have never come together in Cana’an before without the hand of Providence. Therefore, I’d be really careful about opposing them! That’s the scriptural foundation. I don’t know what else people think they can go on. This is the Jews we’re talking about here. Not the Laplanders, or the Arapaho.

Well, other peoples have a certain scriptural foundation for their existence, too, but sometimes, they really don’t. And even if they once did, the Lord moves them out if they violate their probation. Now, that’s ancient talk there. Personally, I believe it’s true.

The whole question of whether Israel has a “Right” to exist is moot.
It’s an established nation. But muslim fanatics want to destroy it and kill as many Isreali citizens as possible.
And we can’t just give into the demands of the Palestinians, Iranians and other Arabs and Muslims and just resettle millions of Jews elsewhere. That’s totally unfeasable. And we can’t just allow hostile Muslims to destroy the country.
Therefore, we have to defend Israel period, however we can.

Doctor Yeagley:
I believe that defending a democracy in a region dominated by Monarchies and Dictators can only be seen in our national interest. The standard of living enjoyed by Israelis starkly contrasts that of their neighbors. This, I believe, is the primary reason the poisonous ideologies (both religious and political) are tolerated by these authoritarian regimes. Without the distraction of blind hate, the common citizens might ask why their lot is not better in a region blessed with vast riches. Further, we should pray that both your and my misgivings about the next 4/8 years of BHO will not be realized. Time will tell.

I’m sorry Obama upsets me so. He’s really a very cool individual, just the wrong black man for the job. Doesn’t deserve it, not being an American Negro. Think of that. The man is not an American Negro. As far as we know, anyway.

(I get very defensive of American blacks when something like this happens!)

Yes,indeed. They just shouldn’t be hated for that! Alas, they are. Well, I should say, people are envious, frustrated, and don’t really know what to think fo the Jews.

The Jews had bad rep, really, since the sons of Jacob. Since Jacob himself. There were some good times in Egypt, thanks to Joseph, but, that didn’t last. The rest has been fearful, resentful responses of the world. Amazing.

Since the days of Abraham through Jesus through Europe and America, the Jewish people have had a rendevous with destiny that has and will continue to have an exceptional effect on the future of us all.
