Israel's Title Deed To Palestine

[Lanakila]

Why would any of these things bother a born again Christian? Unless that Christian is a covenant theologian that thinks God is totally through with the Jew, they would applaud the US for the support to Israel. Covenant theology is wrong, and God isn't through with the Jew or the Nation of Israel. Neb all your retoric comes across as anti-semitism and that is not Christian in any sense of the word.

Neb,

Are you under the impression that anything that is printed is true? Here, you left out a few. Some of these are pretty comical. I especially like the last one. Do you think the Palestinians go away to earn their PHD's and return to strap bombs on themselves? They can sure play the media. Have you considered that some of the nations you defend would gladly imprison or execute you for claiming to be a Christian? I would answer these one at a time but you wouldn't even read it. For every refugee in a Palestinian camp, there was a Jewish refugee that came to Israel from the surrounding Arab countries where they had suffered worse treatment than the Palestinians for hundreds of years. They payed a special tax for being Jews. They were randomly beaten or killed. Their homes and synagogues were routinely destroyed. Their assets were confiscated. They lived in ghettos, were denied employment, were required to wear special clothing or markings identifying them as Jews.
