Helping the People of Israel

[Snow4JC]

Greetings~

I was just wondering how you folks like the idea that our government which represents, We The People, are helping Israel?

Worthy Ministries helps them too.

So Hear Ye, Hear Ye, What do you say?

I don't see anything wrong with our country helping Israel, and I think it's great that Worthy News helps also . But what bothers me is that our goverment is also influencing Israel to give up their land for the sake of peace.

I have no problem with individuals helping Israel on their own with money, support, volunteering, ect.

I do oppose any foreign aid to them because I oppose foreign aid to all countries. It is simply theft when the government takes money from citizens and gives it to other countries.

Foreign aid is a violation of commandment 8 because the donations are not given willingly by the people.

Our government is not, unfortunately, helping Israel. Our government is pressuring Israel to make suicidal land concessions by giving up Jewish Land and caving into the Palestinians. It is a victory for the Palestinians that will only lead to more terrorism.

The "roadmap" called for the Palestinians to arrest known terrorists and their leaders, and to take steps to prevent terrorist activities. Not only have they not done so, as ordered per the roadmap, but Israel is now being forced to make concessions that were ONLY contingent upon the Palestians' suppression of terrorist activities.

It is the Christians who believe the Bible, who are providing the lion's share of support for Israel. We are the ones helping Israel, not the US government.

I think our goverment has helped Israel, point being that with what has happened in Iraq(still is) that we opened up the oil lines over there for Israel. Also, since our occupation over there, our men are targets of the suicide bombers and it's decreased in Israel(the suicide attacks).

I just don't know what to think about foreign aid . Sometimes it bothers me with our economy is not looking to well, and we have people who are starving/poor in our own country.

The land was taken by Israel in 1967 war, where they have occupied it with their military, ever since. The Israeli government allowed, Jewish settlements to be built in these areas, where Palestinians homes were bulldozed to the ground, in order to make room.

Also, we give aid to Israel in the tune of $6 billion per year. Yet, Israel is the 8th largest arms dealer in the world, competing against the US. Israel even sold missiles to China, in violation of the arms embargo.

If American Christians understood what the Israeli government has done to Palestinian Christians living there, they would be outraged! Or, maybe not. Those Christians are Orthodox and Catholics, so they don't count anyway.

Um... are you familiar with Genesis Chapter 12? If your not ill show you:

2 "I will make you into a great nation

and I will bless you;

I will make your name great,

and you will be a blessing.

3 I will bless those who bless you, (Thats talking about Nations who bless Israel)

and whoever curses you I will curse;

and all peoples on earth

will be blessed through you."

Everyone counts! It's just difficult to know "who's on first?".

Jim, that is the most ignorant statement regarding Israel that I've seen since Idolsmasher left. Congratulations! You get the "Poke a stick in the apple of God's eye" award

Shall I dismantle these lies one at a time? Would you even open you eyes?

1. All land everywhere was taken in a war. That is how the world works. The big difference is that Israel took this in a DEFENSIVE war....and they have the title anyway according to the Bible. Since it is God's land, He can give it to whomever He wishes...and He did.

2. Jewish "settlements" are no more than a housing development. Do you have any in your city? What is wrong with building houses for people to live in?

3. The only Palestinian houses which are bulldozed are either ;

(a) vacant

(b) built without a proper permit (the same thing would happen in your city)
