Why Does The Right Love Israel?

[Lakhota]

the US right supports Israel because they are Christian, and Israel is sacred to all Christians.

I don't know why anyone would have a problem with this.

What we should question is why the same people feel the Israel government should get a free pass on politican events. It is as if Christians consider the government of Israel to be divine, which it is not.

You pretty much answered your own question. There is nothing "divine" about Israel.

Sacred, but not divine.

I think the reason the Israel/palestine issue is so vexed is because of the religio-cultural ownership Christians and Muslims bring to the issue, which is usually quite unhelpful. People feel they know what is right for Israel because they read the bible....this might have helped in the Year 0, but not in 2012.

There is nothing sacred or divine about Israel, except to certain religious nuts. Christianity is nothing more than a copycat religion. I prefer Horus.

I support Israel and I am not the right.

 

[FactFinder]

I am an Independent who supports Israel.

If you want to totally deny scripture and the curses that are likely to follow at least there is the very pragmatic reason that Israel is a foothold of democracy, setting an example of a way to prosperity right smack in the middle of an area that desperately needs the mentoring.

Various supporters of Israel come to that support for different reasons.

Some support it out of religious or ethnic convictions, others for geopolitical considerations, some because they believe that state of Israel is their lifeboat if our government becomes overtly anti-semetic.

 

[Douger]

Because the right loves lies and liars. IsNtReal is home base for lies, liars, manipulators, and thieves.

Yes, but these threads are created to express blind rage, prejudice and ignorance.

Please do not allow facts to blur the cliches.

Vanishing the Palestinians

by GHADA KARMI

When the Zionists decided in 1897 to establish a Jewish state in Palestine, the Jews of Vienna despatched a delegation to examine the country for its suitability. The delegation reported back as follows: "the bride is beautiful but she is married to another man". They had found that Palestine to their dismay was already inhabited by another people. And this has been Zionism’s central problem ever since. How to "vanish the Palestinians" and get an empty land? The latest manifestation of this imperative is the barrier wall, which Israel is currently building to separate and enclose Palestinian towns and villages in the lands it occupied after 1967. There are those who rightly point to the wall’s illegality and infringement of human rights. And the International Court of Justice has just affirmed this view resoundingly in its ruling, passed on 9.7.04 by 14 of the 15 judges, that the wall was an illegal structure when in the occupied Palestinian territories and that Israel would have to tear it down and make restitution for the damage it has caused to thousands of Palestinians. This position is entirely valid, but critics, in my view, have missed one crucial aspect of the wall’s purpose, which is, to "vanish" the Palestinians, to make them so invisible that Israelis can go on pretending that there is no "other man".

It depends on which part of 'the right' you're talking about. If you're talking about the evangelical social conservatives who have essentially taken over the individual state parties and who are now essentially in charge of choosing the GOP primary candidates, the reason can be summed up in one word. And that word is Armageddon (as in the final battle that will supposedly usher in the second coming of Jesus).

Why Does The Right Love Israel?

The more important question is "why does the left loves terrorists?"

 

[bripat9643]

All that "anti-Semite" name-calling bullshit from NaziCons used to scare people off - but not anymore! Facts are facts and truth is truth. Palestinians got fucked.

You never objected to being called an anti-semite.

True, but the country is at least civilized, as opposed to the blood thirsty savages that surround them.

Why Does The Right Love Israel?

the borders of Israel have been decided by God.
no one cares what the U.N has to say about anything.

even if the Muslims had legitimate claim to that region, which they don't, we're talking about 1 percent of total Muslim land.
Muslims got their ass kicked, ...let it go.

it was set up so everyone gets to visit their holy land.
the Muslims unforgiving rule that anywhere their troops set foot,it belongs to them forver.

everyone who is anti-Israel is full of anti-Semitic fantasies, nothing good comes from them

So if some zealot shows up at your door with a gun claiming his god promised him your house...what would you do ?

The radical left has always been rather covert when it came to foreign policy issues. It's good that we get it out in the open and establish clear objectives regarding Israel. It looks like the 2nd Hussein administration brings out the truth in the left's agenda. Bring it on.
