At present, the reason Israel continues to exist is because of enormous good will from the Christian community.
You probably believe this good will is not needed. We will see what happens when some future radical leftist President tells the Muslim states “Do what you want. We will not lift a finger in response.”
I appreciate the good will of the Christian community. It plays a big part in American politics and America’s relationship with Israel.
But that good will did not always exist. Peter the Hermit spread his ‘good will’ up and down the Rhine Valley leaving death and destruction to thousands, then attacked the Muslim Empire and his entire makeshift host was destroyed in short order. But he returned to Europe with the loot he had acquired on the Rhine, and used it to build a monastery, where he lived out his life in pious devotion.
I cannot blame present-day American Christians for his crimes, any more than I can blame Greek Orthodox Christians for the depredations of Bogdan Chmelnicki.
At the same time, these crimes were committed in the name of your savior, which is part of the reason he is not mine.
But let’s separate our theological perspectives, which is all that is about, from the relationship between present-day American Christians and the State of Israel.
I like and respect American Christians, and their support for my chosen home is a good thing. But if that support is predicated on the notion that because of this good will, I will eventually accept Jesus as my lord and savior, the answer is no, for reasons best left to a discussion of theology. If that alters our relationship for the worst, so be it.
Now as for the United States telling the Muslim states “Do what you want. We will not lift a finger in response,” that already happened in 1948. The Arab states closed in for the kill. The outgoing British, then under the leftist Labour government, said “do what you want” and didn’t lift a finger in response, other than to allow their officers to stay at their respective commands in the attacking Arab League. The UN put an arms blockade around the Middle East which the Arab states easily circumvented, and the infant State of Israel, hard put to find adequate arms because of the blockade, was expected to be smothered in its cradle. But it was not. The conflict was bloody, but Israel survived and even won a few. Why is too complicated a mix of theology and pragmatism to get into. But in sum it wasn’t because of any support by any temporal power.
