Why support Israel?

If we didn't support Israel, we wouldn't be in the middle-east. No 9/11, no Gulf war, not quagmire in Afghanistan. Not to mention all the billions of dollar each year we give to Israel and her neighbors.

Jesus said Jews are children of the devil. And, for some reason, some really twisted Christians think the children of the devil are the children of Abraham. God said he would bless those who bless Abraham. But, the Bible says Christians count as Abraham's children.

Um, Jesus was a devout Jew D’oh!

If so, why did Jews snitch on Jesus to get him killed?
 
From the Lavon affair, to the U.S.S Liberty bombing, to Jonathan Pollard..... It just seems to be a one sided affair.... Especially considering support for Israel makes Muslims more angry at the U.S.

Can someone please tell us what's the purpose for us to support Israel?

Just because you read about Israel in the bible, or because they're Jewish.
Really?
as if those are logical explanations?

Were the Muslim Barbary pirates who attacked US ships angry at Israel?

I think that the Barbary Pirates were probably more profit oriented, as opposed to Osama Bin Laden.
 
Let's start with Palestine...
What is Israel doing for Palestinian sovereignty?

What is Palestine doing to support Israeli sovereignty?

The difference is Israel has a real nation, Palestine does not...

History Lesson: Palestine originated as a Roman name imposed on Jews and ancient Israel by Emperor Hadrian in 135 AD.

The first clear use of the term Palestine to refer to the entire area between Phoenicia and Egypt was in 5th century BC Ancient Greece,[7][8] when Herodotus wrote of a "district of Syria, called Palaistinê" in The Histories, which included the Judean mountains and the Jordan Rift Valley.[9][10][11][12][13][14] In the treatise Meteorology c.340 BC, Aristotle wrote, "there is a lake in Palestine".[15][16]

You think wrong. Muslim Barbary pirates attacked US ships based on edicts in the Koran. Now, you know

Clearly heavily profit motivated, regardless.

How Jefferson Fought the Barbary Pirates

The Barbary pirates operated off the coast of North Africa as far back as the time of the Crusades. According to legend, the Barbary pirates sailed as far as Iceland, attacking ports, seizing captives as slaves, and plundering merchant ships.

As most seafaring nations found it easier, and cheaper, to bribe the pirates rather than fight them in a war, a tradition developed of paying tribute for passage through the Mediterranean. European nations often worked out treaties with the Barbary pirates.

Um, Herodotus was GREEK and wrote in GREEK. He referred to Philistines, also GREEK.

First time in history palestine referred to a land was when the Roman Empire renamed ancient Israel palaestina, later anglicized to palestine by European Christians

So, Greeks have about as much of a claim to Palestine, or Israel as they do?
Interesting.

I kind of like the Greeks better.

Do you think we can kick out both Jews, and Palestinians to push in the Greeks?

You were clueless that Jesus was Jewish? Embarrassing

Jews reject Jesus, and helped to kill him.

Why should Christians therefor see Jews in a favorable light?

The other article admits many nations bribed the Barbary Pirates.
Why did they accept those bribes?

Not that I didn't say that the Koran didn't have anything to do with it.

Anyhoo, US technology industry depends on Israeli R&D, making Israel critical to the American economy. Muslim countries contribute nothing

Jesus was Jewish, but the Jews who accepted him became Christians, those who rejected him, even going so far to kill him, remained Jewish.
