Support Israel? Yes or no?

[Coyote]

"stand with..."

To what extent? What does that question mean?

Why doesn't Israel "stand with " the US? We are Israel's ally but they are not ours.

Jeremiah Like everything else you post about, you're a non-thinking fanatic on this subject.

While I am passionate about Israel, I am not non-thinking on the subject. I have thought about it a great deal and have asked a simple question in the OP, Luddly. Do you believe it is right to stand by those who stand by you? It's a very simple question, Luddly. Do not overthink it. It's very simple. Yes or no. Pick one. Or don't. Your choice.

How can one answer a poll like you gave, in a simple yes or no format like that? Reality doesn't fit within those parameters.

Do you support Israel no matter what Israel does? That is lunacy.

Any different to asking do you support Palestine.....................even though you know they are terrorist's and/or terrorist supporters and call for the death of Jews all the time.

It's no different than a poll asking if you support Palestine - yes or no. It's impossible to frame it that way and give a meaningful answer. Do I support their right to fight the occupation and have their own state? Yes. Do I support their targeting of civilians? No. Do I support their targeting of military? Yes, it's their right.

 

[PredFan]

Absolutely yes.

If I was POTUS right now I would pull all of pur troops out of the ME stop all subsidies and payments to any country in the ME. Take half of theiney saved from that and give that to Israel. I'd tell them to kick ass and call us when you are finished.

 

[Coyote]

Explain to Luddly how Israel stands with us.

Which nation sent a plane full of supplies to the victims of Super Storm Sandy? Only one nation. Think hard. Was it Britain? Saudi Arabia? Australia? Japan? China? No, no, no, no, and no again. Was it Russia? Was it Taiwan? Was it Malaysia, South Korea or Kenya? No, no, no, no and no again. Was it Germany, was it Italy? Was it the Vatican? No, no, and definitely not. Who sent that plane full of supplies?

ISRAEL.

You are incredibly ignorant.

Did you read the thread before responding? My example was Super Storm Sandy. First one to respond while the others promised? They never delivered on that promise. Israel showed up and showed out. Ignorant? I think not. I believe you had better look up the story on Israel and Super Storm Sandy.

You are simply ignorant. Israel was not the only nation to respond

We don't judge help by who is "first" to respond. It's not a contest.

Israel was the first nation to respond and I do recall other nations promising to help but I never saw any news reports that they did follow through. Who followed through and how much money, aid was received? Post your sources please (with a link).

Clearly that's what the poll means. For the op there is no separation between the political state of Israel and the Jewish people. Further, the OP believes her God requires unwavering support of that state for some reason

No that is just your interpretation of the request because you believe that every Jews says that God gave them the land.

Jeremiah, is the modern state of israel given to jews from god? In other words do they have a divine right to that land?

Jeremiah, is the modern state of israel given to jews from god? In other words do they have a divine right to that land?

Absolutely. Israel has a history over 4,000 years old. The people of Israel were exiled from their nation for a time - more than once but this is it. They are home for good this time. There is only one point of view and that is God's. Read the Scriptures.

As for differing opinions on this thread? That is not surprising. Not everyone sees things the same. We have people who believe in God, people do not believe in God, people who are slowly being persuaded as to the existence and goodness of God. Interesting bit of information for the readers here - The common denominator with every Muslim conversion to Christ is that they realized after their conversion that Israel belongs to the Jews and that God has opened wide the door to invite all to become grafted into the family of Abraham! Through Jesus Christ we can become part of the family of God. There was a time when salvation was only to the Jew but today? Through the Jew salvation has come (see John Chapter 4) and is available to one and all. That is the good news.

God loves the Arab people, desires to save all who would come to His Son and wishes that none would perish. That is the love of God to a lost and dying world.

The Sandy disaster: Thanks to all the countries who helped

Guess the media and the government forgot to mention that? Just another reason we need to END foreign aid to most countries that we currently give BILLIONS to while we pile up the debt and pass it along to our children.

We think it is highly appropriate at this time of the year that we send THANKS to all of the countries that have reciprocated for our help with their disasters, misgivings, social turmoil and poverty by returning the favor.....by sending the United States of America monetary and physical help when Sandy ravaged our East Coast leaving death, homelessness, destruction and pure disaster.

Listed below are the names of the countries and worldwide organizations that gave us gracious assistance.

Israel Flying Aid Gives Food, Generators, Gas To Hurricane Sandy New York, New Jersey Victims

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Israel was also first to respond to the Haiti Disaster. Did I mention that before? I am now...

Israel Humanitarian Aid Organizations Give Food, Generators, Gas To Hurricane Sandy New York, New Jersey Victims

By Karen Levy
Israel News Agency

New York, NY --- November 4, 2012 ... Israel Flying Aid, the Israeli global humanitarian organization which was first to land in Haiti following the 2010 earthquake, has been distributing large supplies of gas to hospitals, food, batteries and generators to Hurricane Sandy victims.

"We have many years of disaster relief experience," said Israel Flying Aid North American Operations Manager Moti Kahana.
"Israel Flying Aid, in having Israelis on the ground here in New York and New Jersey, have made Israel the only foreign nation to provide humanitarian assistance to the US during this disaster. We are working in coordination with FEMA, local police, the American Red Cross and Jewish communities in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut."

Kahana said that most of the efforts had been donated by Israelis living in the US and this enabled gas to be distributed to hospitals in New York and New Jersey.

Israel Flying Aid is one of several Israeli organizations that operate under IsraAid.

Since its creation in 2001, IsraAID has coordinated and facilitated aid programs all over the world, notably: relief to cyclone victims in Myanmar, long term aid programs for starving communities in Malawi, rehabilitation and relief in South East Asia following the devastating tsunami, psycho-social programs for Darfur refugees on the Chad-Sudan border, and aid to Somali war refugees in Kenya, as well as many more.

Joel Leyden, who served as an Israel Humanitarian Aid Operations and Communications Specialist with the IFA in Haiti, has been working with several US governmental, Jewish and Israeli organizations including the Greater Hartford Jewish Community to distribute both food and generators on Long Island.

"We had a convoy of food and generators move out of the Greater Hartford area early yesterday morning," said Leyden.

I believe what Israel needs more than anything else is for nations such as Germany, Russia, America, Britain to stay out of their politics and stop trying to force them to abide by the road map to destruction. Israel should be able to defend herself as any other nation should be free to defend themselves.

The U.S has been in their corner for a long time now...............Both financial and military aid..........We have challenged the UN with Veto's of their propositions against Israel as well...........Even now, under Obama who has openly ditched them........the money and military equipment still goes there............

And I agree with it.

Those didn't count?
I know Wikipedia isn't always reliable, but are you saying all that information about the assistance offered by other nations is false?

That is why I asked you for a news article link - source - something reliable - this is a news story about how no one from Europe offered any monetary help while a couple of other nations promised aid there are no stories that I have found to confirm they followed through and of course they made sure to leave out Israel being the only one to respond, to respond first and to follow through!

From Europe, A Muted Hurricane Sandy Response

But beyond press chatter, price swings, and political prognostication, the European reaction to the storm has been limited. Some private charities have stepped up. For example, the British Red Cross has launched a Hurricane Sandy Appeal to raise funds for relief efforts. But no European government has yet committed money for American aid.

Last Sunday, as the storm killed 59 people in the Caribbean, the European Union offered condolences "to the people of Haiti, Cuba, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas," and said that the "EU stands ready to provide support in the recovery efforts." The EU offered similar condolences to the "American people" on Tuesday and commended FEMA's response, but did not offer recovery support.

Laurent Fabius, the French foreign minister, wrote, "I want to express my wholehearted solidarity with the American people ... France remains at the U.S. authorities' disposal to provide any and all assistance they deem necessary." Other nations that have officially expressed condolences include Pakistan, Colombia, South Korea, Nicaragua, China, Ukraine, Israel, Armenia, and Albania. The nation of Iran, with which the United States has no formal diplomatic relations, has offered to send an emergency aid team to New York City. The city of Toronto has offered New York City aid. And the Japanese-based Toyota corporation will donate $1 million to the American Red Cross to aid in relief efforts. The economic cost of the storm is likely to hit $50 billion.

_____________
So Iran offered an emergency aid team but no report one ever arrived - Toronto offered aid - no follow up story and Toyota offered 1 million dollars to the American Red Cross. That was it. Israel was by far the greatest responder but she is left out of this story because after all.......it's Israel. Get the picture yet?

That is why I asked you for a news article link - source - something reliable - this is a news story about how no one from Europe offered any monetary help while a couple of other nations promised aid there are no stories that I have found to confirm they followed through and of course they made sure to leave out Israel being the only one to respond, to respond first and to follow through!

From Europe, A Muted Hurricane Sandy Response

But beyond press chatter, price swings, and political prognostication, the European reaction to the storm has been limited. Some private charities have stepped up. For example, the British Red Cross has launched a Hurricane Sandy Appeal to raise funds for relief efforts. But no European government has yet committed money for American aid.

Last Sunday, as the storm killed 59 people in the Caribbean, the European Union offered condolences "to the people of Haiti, Cuba, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas," and said that the "EU stands ready to provide support in the recovery efforts." The EU offered similar condolences to the "American people" on Tuesday and commended FEMA's response, but did not offer recovery support.

Laurent Fabius, the French foreign minister, wrote, "I want to express my wholehearted solidarity with the American people ... France remains at the U.S. authorities' disposal to provide any and all assistance they deem necessary." Other nations that have officially expressed condolences include Pakistan, Colombia, South Korea, Nicaragua, China, Ukraine, Israel, Armenia, and Albania. The nation of Iran, with which the United States has no formal diplomatic relations, has offered to send an emergency aid team to New York City. The city of Toronto has offered New York City aid. And the Japanese-based Toyota corporation will donate $1 million to the American Red Cross to aid in relief efforts. The economic cost of the storm is likely to hit $50 billion.

So Iran offered an emergency aid team but no report one ever arrived - Toronto offered aid - no follow up story and Toyota offered 1 million dollars to the American Red Cross. That was it. Israel was by far the greatest responder but she is left out of this story because after all.......it's Israel. Get the picture yet?

The Sandy disaster: Thanks to all the countries who helped

Guess the media and the government forgot to mention that? Just another reason we need to END foreign aid to most countries that we currently give BILLIONS to while we pile up the debt and pass it along to our children.

We think it is highly appropriate at this time of the year that we send THANKS to all of the countries that have reciprocated for our help with their disasters, misgivings, social turmoil and poverty by returning the favor.....by sending the United States of America monetary and physical help when Sandy ravaged our East Coast leaving death, homelessness, destruction and pure disaster.

Listed below are the names of the countries and worldwide organizations that gave us gracious assistance.

Please help me in thanking these entities by passing on this email so people from all over America can join in and THANK our friends and neighbors.....to whom we have given BILLIONS!

Here they are, listed:

1. Israel

2.

3.

4.

5.

And that rated one headline and article by Karen Levy of the Israel News Agency. Look for it in your mainsream media:
Israel Flying Aid Gives Food, Generators, Gas To Hurricane Sandy New York, New Jersey Victims

Explain to Luddly how Israel stands with us.

Which nation sent a plane full of supplies to the victims of Super Storm Sandy? Only one nation. Think hard. Was it Britain? Saudi Arabia? Australia? Japan? China? No, no, no, no, and no again. Was it Russia? Was it Taiwan? Was it Malaysia, South Korea or Kenya? No, no, no, no and no again. Was it Germany, was it Italy? Was it the Vatican? No, no, and definitely not. Who sent that plane full of supplies?

ISRAEL.

Here's a partial list -

Iran offers to help cities devastated by Hurricane Sandy
Russia sending aid to Hurricane Sandy victims
Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund
Toronto offers aid to New York as Eastern Seaboard cleans up Sandy's mess
France offers aid, solidarity to storm-hit US

Those didn't count?

With Wikipedia? Anything is possible because anyone can change what is written on that site. On the other hand, I know that the first reports were Israel was the first nation to respond with a plane load of supplies. That Wikipedia would leave that out does not surprise me in the least.

Israel was also first to respond to the Haiti Disaster. Did I mention that before? I am now...

Israel Humanitarian Aid Organizations Give Food, Generators, Gas To Hurricane Sandy New York, New Jersey Victims

By Karen Levy
Israel News Agency

New York, NY --- November 4, 2012 ... Israel Flying Aid, the Israeli global humanitarian organization which was first to land in Haiti following the 2010 earthquake, has been distributing large supplies of gas to hospitals, food, batteries and generators to Hurricane Sandy victims.

"We have many years of disaster relief experience," said Israel Flying Aid North American Operations Manager Moti Kahana.
"Israel Flying Aid, in having Israelis on the ground here in New York and New Jersey, have made Israel the only foreign nation to provide humanitarian assistance to the US during this disaster. We are working in coordination with FEMA, local police, the American Red Cross and Jewish communities in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut."

Kahana said that most of the efforts had been donated by Israelis living in the US and this enabled gas to be distributed to hospitals in New York and New Jersey.

Israel Flying Aid is one of several Israeli organizations that operate under IsraAid.

Since its creation in 2001, IsraAID has coordinated and facilitated aid programs all over the world, notably: relief to cyclone victims in Myanmar, long term aid programs for starving communities in Malawi, rehabilitation and relief in South East Asia following the devastating tsunami, psycho-social programs for Darfur refugees on the Chad-Sudan border, and aid to Somali war refugees in Kenya, as well as many more.

Joel Leyden, who served as an Israel Humanitarian Aid Operations and Communications Specialist with the IFA in Haiti, has been working with several US governmental, Jewish and Israeli organizations including the Greater Hartford Jewish Community to distribute both food and generators on Long Island.

"We had a convoy of food and generators move out of the Greater Hartford area early yesterday morning," said Leyden.

Israel blocked aid from Gaza to Haiti. What was that about?
