Jesus was a direct descendant of David. And was sent for the Jewish People. God’s own people. As he told the Roman Officer, he wasn’t here for them, those who followed would be for the Gentiles.
So to argue that Christianity, the faith based upon the life and teachings of Jesus is opposed to the Jews is laughable.
But let’s see what else is in the Bible. How about Revelations? When the chosen from the twelve tribes of Israel were marked with God’s own Seal. Afterwards those Washed White in the Blood of the Lamb were admitted to Heaven.
Well obviously the Prophets of antiquity knew nothing. But I think we have covered the ideals of Christianity.
American idealism. By that we will assume that you mean the ideals of fairness and integrity. Of judicious use of force. The ideals of compromise and peace. Good.
Now how many times has Israel offered self rule to the Palestinians and required only that Palestine recognize Israel’s right to exist? Put more simply, the ideals of live and let live.
How often has Palestine rejected this as impossible? Impossible. So if I give you what you want, you pledge beforehand to use it to attack and destroy me. The odds of me giving you anything is pretty much nil. If the tables were turned then you would be crazy to give me anything if I intended to use it to kill you.
That’s reasonable. That is what we call fair.
