As a born-again Christian, I believe that Jesus Christ’s offer of Salvation is for All Mankind. This is the only way to avoid God’s deserved wrath in our final accounting with God’s Judgment, whenever that occurs. This is the ‘New Covenant,’ NEW to replace the OLD, not just a supplement or addendum, not my words, but Jesus’ words. The only way for Jews to be saved to accept His Son’s sacrifice and “be Born Again.”
However, regardless of conspiracy advocates, Romans 11 (see ISRAEL: CHOSEN OR FORGOTTEN?) and relevant texts makes it clear that the natural branches, while lost, are "beloved for the Father's sake," and we are to look forward to the day when the fulness of the Gentiles shall have entered into the kingdom of God, and the curse of overall judicial blindness on Jews will be removed, and all (the remnant that remains) will look upon the Lord whom they have pierced (Zechariah 12:10) be saved, and be part of the 1,000 reign of Christ. Regardless of the rejection of this by Catholicism and Preterists.
There’s been a lot of censorship to keep us ignorant,
Indeed, plus citing censorship by certain teachers to impugn any one who disagrees with them, which opposition is not due to censorship. FF Drama Queens, Oy, poor us, we’re the only people who have every suffered in the history of Time.
Relative to their numbers, the Jews have has an inordinate impact on the world, for good as well as evil, and have been and are being chastened by God (using the devil) due their unfaithfulness to the covenant they assented to, and rejection or their Messiah, and whose judgment is , relative to the light they have, yet not destroyed as distinctive people despite having no homeland for over 2,000 years due to a succession of conquerors, only to obtain some of it back from the last one.
And because the devil seeks to pervert or destroy anything to manifests God's power and promises, thus the Jews have been greatly persecuted in history, as promised by God. However, the instruments of which were also judged for going overboard, and will be
If you haven’t noticed, the “soft” War against a Virus and Open Borders/Free Migration is taking our country down the tubes. Who is presiding over all this but Zionists.
No, it is far from being all presided over by Zionists, which would include evangelicals as foremost supporters of Israel being a state, one that gave almost all the land it gained after being attacked by Muslims who cannot tolerate the very existence of Israel. Meanwhile it is the Left which increasingly supports Hamas and Islam over the Jews.
JUst Chaos and Mayhem so people will “beg for the Govt. to save them with a One World Govt. run by these Demons. No thanks. Resist them at all costs.
That is indeed the goal, yet the most radical leftist who crave for power, even to de-funding police to create their own autonomous rule, are those who deplore both Christians and Jews, since they are the most rebellious against God.
Of course, for devoted conspiratorialist, everything fits into their narrative.
Demographics of Palestine: 1948 Christian Palestinian Pop was 135,547,
And Dec 23, 2018 — Gaza is home to a mere 1100 Christians. While around 1% of the population of the Palestinian Territories as a whole are Christian, the percentage is small in Gaza, where there are around 1,000 mostly Greek Orthodox Christians among nearly 2 million Muslims. [0.05%]
Meaning hardly any actual Christians.
<8% of the total in Israel. In 2023, about 187,900, about 2% of Israel’s total pop. So, in the last 80 years, the Christian Palestinian pop. in Israel grew about 0.5% a year.
Misleading. The 0.05% of Christians in Gaza is due to Hamas refusing to peacefully co-exist with Jews, while the reason for the 2% of Christians in Israel is due to its great growth.
November 22, 2023: The results of new market research conducted by the Arab World for Research and Development (AWRAD)1 among Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip and Judea and Samaria (West Bank):
85.8% supported Hamas continuing to play a role in the Palestinian government – 13.6% supported a Hamas-only government, an overwhelming percentage of Palestinians support the October 7 massacre (75%), reject coexistence with Israel (85.9%) are committed to the restoration of “historical Palestine” as a final resolution (71.1%), and support the creation of a Palestinian state “from the river to the sea” (74.7%) as the end of the Israeli Palestinian conflict. Interestingly, there is more support for the 10/7 massacre from the Palestinians resident in Judea and Samaria (83.1%) than those residing in the Gaza Strip (63.6%).
84% believe that Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) plays a somewhat to very positive role; 79.8% believe that Fatah’s terror wing, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, plays a somewhat to very positive role; and 88.6% believe that Hamas’ armed wing, the Al-Kassam Brigades, plays a somewhat to very positive function. 98.2% of Palestinians see the U.S. role as unfavorable, 96.7% consider the UK role as negative, and 92.6% ascertain the EU role as unfavorable.
According to the Palestinians, the United Arab Emirates plays the most negative role (96%), followed by Saudi Arabia (95.5%), Egypt (84.6%) and Jordan (75.6%). All these countries have made peace with Israel or consider the possibility. While support for terror organizations is high, 87.3% of the Palestinians believe that the Palestinian Authority plays a negative role. - https://jcpa.org/a-new-poll-of-palestinians-supporting-terror-and-rejecting-peace/
Meanwhile today, even true Christians can safely live in Israel as even handing out tracts is officially legal (though location, location, and evangelism usually would be discreet, and not of children without parental assent) while 75.8% of the Christians in Israel are Arab Christians..
Likely few actual ones, while 20% of Israeli citizens are Arabs, mostly Muslims, with only 14% identifying as Palestinians and live in homes they either own or rent, and are not required to perform mandatory military service. They have equal voting rights and Arabs currently hold 9 seats in the 120-seat Knesset and have also held various government posts, including one who served as Israel’s ambassador to Finland and the current deputy mayor of Tel Aviv.

But the freedom and or life expectancy of a consistently practicing evangelical Christian in most Muslim countries, esp. under Hamas, can be measured in days.
The State of Israel as a country, but ignores the Palestinians right to their land and property: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/5/15/the-nakba-five-palestinian-towns-massacred-75-years-ago
Nonsense. Aljazeera? I will give you https://www.jns.org/jns/israeli-palestinian-conflict/23/5/30/291532/
Even the liberal WP documents:
During the war, around 700,000 Palestinian Arabs were displaced and most of their urban areas were destroyed. Many Palestinian Arabs ended up stateless, displaced either to the Palestinian territories captured by Egypt and Jordan or to the surrounding Arab states; many of them, as well as their descendants, remain stateless and in refugee camps.
During the 1947–48 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine and the 1948 Arab–Israeli War that followed, around 700,000 Palestinian Arabs fled or were expelled.[18]
During the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, around 10,000 Jews were forced to evacuate their homes in Palestine or Israel.[83] The war indirectly created a second, major refugee problem, the Jewish exodus from Arab and Muslim lands. Partly because of the war between Jews and Arabs in Palestine, hundreds of thousands of Jews who lived in the Arab states were intimidated into flight, or were expelled from their native countries, most of them reaching Israel. The immediate reasons for the flight were the popular Arab hostility, including pogroms, triggered by the war in Palestine and anti-Jewish governmental measures.[84] In the three years following the war, about 700,000 Jews immigrated to Israel, where they were absorbed, fed and housed[85] mainly along the borders and in former Palestinian lands.[29] Beginning in 1948, and continuing until 1972, an estimated 800,000 to 1,000,000 Jews fled or were expelled.[86][87][88] From 1945 until the closure of 1952, more than 250,000 Jewish displaced persons lived in European refugee camps. About 136,000 of them immigrated to Israel.[24] More than 270,000 Jews immigrated from Eastern Europe,[25] mainly Romania and Poland (over 100,000 each). Overall 700,000 Jews settled in Israel,[89] doubling its Jewish population.[90][91]
but ignores the Palestinians right to their land and property:
Absurd. If the Jews put down their weapons for good, there would be another holocaust: if the militant Muslims in Palestinians put down their weapons used against Jews, there would be a Palestinian state. There were Jews as well as Palestinians in the land, the Jews having failed to fully drive out all the Canaanites, which God thus left there to prove Israel, (Joshua 23:13; Judges 3:1,4) "to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the Lord," but the mixtures descending from ancient tribes which a nation in what came to be called Palestinian 1948, but could co-exist peacefully as the Arab 20% of Israel does, if they were not militant Muslims intent on the eradication of Jews, which Hamas has from its onset, and cannot be trusted no matter what they say to the contrary.

Sheer one-sided desperation, and ignoring context, and the reality that a likely intentional attack under superiors is an aberration set in stark contrast to Israel as the most reliable ally against fundy Islam which seeks the destruction of both!
Both the Israeli and U.S. governments conducted inquiries and issued reports that concluded the attack was a mistake due to Israeli confusion about the ship's identity.[6] Others, including survivors of the attack, have rejected these conclusions and maintain that the attack was deliberate.[7][8]
In May 1968, the Israeli government paid US$3.32 million (equivalent to US$28 million in 2022) to the U.S. government in compensation for the families of the 34 men killed in the attack. In March 1969, Israel paid a further $3.57 million ($28.5 million in 2022) to the men who had been wounded. In December 1980, it agreed to pay $6 million ($21.3 million in 2022) as the final settlement for material damage to the ship plus 13 years of interest.[9] - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=USS_Liberty_incident&useskin=vectorAnd so with you it seems like we effectively have a Muslim sympathizer here or an isolationist who at least resents the only reliable friend the US has in the Middle East, which is surround by Arab Muslim countries.

And rather than being unjust occupiers of "Palestinian" land, under overt supernatural attestation of Divine command, the Jews conquered a generationally wicked nation group due to being evil, exterminating most. Later, due to disobedience, the Jews lost their historical land to conquerors, with squatters, and via a succession of which they received most their land back, but not all that was promised them. From what I see, the people latter called "Palestinian" were essentially squatters who could have lived in peace with the Jews, with their own state, but rejected the US partition plan.
When Jews began to immigrate to Palestine in large numbers in 1882, fewer than 250,000 Arabs lived there, and the majority of them had arrived in recent decades. Palestine was never an exclusively Arab country, although Arabic gradually became the language of most the population after the Muslim invasions of the seventh century. No independent Arab or Palestinian state ever existed in Palestine. When the distinguished Arab-American historian, Princeton University Prof. Philip Hitti, testified against partition before the Anglo-American Committee in 1946, he said: "There is no such thing as 'Palestine' in history, absolutely not." In fact, Palestine is never explicitly mentioned in the Koran, rather it is called "the holy land" (al-Arad al-Muqaddash).
Prior to partition, Palestinian Arabs did not view themselves as having a separate identity. When the First Congress of Muslim-Christian Associations met in Jerusalem in February 1919 to choose Palestinian representatives for the Paris Peace Conference, the following resolution was adopted:
We consider Palestine as part of Arab Syria, as it has never been separated from it at any time. We are connected with it by national, religious, linguistic, natural, economic and geographical bonds.
In 1937, a local Arab leader, Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi, told the Peel Commission, which ultimately suggested the partition of Palestine: "There is no such country [as Palestine]! 'Palestine' is a term the Zionists invented! There is no Palestine in the Bible. Our country was for centuries part of Syria." The representative of the Arab Higher Committee to the United Nations submitted a statement to the General Assembly in May 1947 that said "Palestine was part of the Province of Syria" and that, "politically, the Arabs of Palestine were not independent in the sense of forming a separate political entity." A few years later, Ahmed Shuqeiri, later the chairman of the PLO, told the Security Council: "It is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but southern Syria."
Palestinian Arab nationalism is largely a post-World War I phenomenon that did not become a significant political movement until after the 1967 Six-Day War and Israel's capture of the West Bank.
Yet may they, as with Jews, find peace and fellowship thru the risen Lord Jesus which both religions deny.
As for the poverty of Gaza, you certainly cannot be ignorant of the political purposes behind the "plight of the Palestinians" - which is a result of the Islamic 1948 intolerance of the Jews which Muslims sought to expel since 1948. Whereby some non-supporters of HAMAS are victims the the Islamic refusal to allow Palestinians to become citizens in their country (aside from Jordan), for political purposes. Jordan, and Syria.
Israel comprises just 0.2 percent of the Middle East’s land mass while Arabs of today controls 24 nations... 99½ percent of the ENTIRE Middle East land mass, and Muslims of most surrounding nations have sought to kill or expel push the Jews from their ancient national homeland even before as well as after 1947, when Muslims, which came to be called Palestinians - a name cognate with the Biblical Hebrew Pəlīštīm and used for the land of the Hebrews from at least 450 BC (Herodotus) while the residents of Judea and Samaria were considered Jordanians before 1948, including by themselves - rejected the UN Partition Plan which would have established independent Jewish and Arab states and an international control of Jerusalem. Before that, under the 1922 international mandate the British were to help the Jews reestablish their homeland in the territory.
The Muslims would not tolerated the existence of the State of Israel in 1948 since the Arab community was still seeking to control the entirety of the Palestine Mandate itself, thus five Arab armies attacked Israel when it declared independence. Only to henceforth cry victim when they lost this war and subsequent attempts to drive Israel into the sea as it were.
Palestinians are essentially squatters which never were a nation before 1948, while about 20% of Israeli citizens are Arabs, mostly Muslims, with only 14% identifying as Palestinians, and live in homes they either own or rent, and are not required to perform mandatory military service. They have equal voting rights and Arabs currently hold 9 seats in the 120-seat Knesset and have also held various government posts, including one who served as Israel’s ambassador to Finland and the current deputy mayor of Tel Aviv.

However, despite tiny Israel attempting to live in peaceful co-existence with its surrounding Muslim neighbors, even giving up almost all the land is conquered in victory over Muslim attempts to exterminate them, it is threatened and attacked by such, thus resulting in defensive actions which are invoked by liberals as unwarranted aggression, but which are warranted.
And while I am sure Israel has engaged in some wrong actions, and some discrimination exists, and is far from perfect tenants - including allowing “gay” parades,” they are the victims of unjust aggression by other nations.
...some ask why neighboring Egypt and Jordan don’t take them in.... The two countries, which flank Israel on opposite sides and share borders with Gaza and the occupied West Bank, respectively, have replied with a staunch refusal. Jordan already has a large Palestinian population. Jordan’s King Abdullah II gave a similar message a day earlier, saying, “No refugees in Jordan, no refugees in Egypt.” Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi...warned of an even more destabilizing scenario: the wrecking of Egypt and Israel’s 1979 peace deal. He said that with the presence of Palestinian militants, Sinai “would become a base for attacks on Israel. Israel would have the right to defend itself ... and would strike Egyptian territory.” https://apnews.com/article/palestinian-jordan-egypt-israel-refugee-502c06d004767d4b64848d878b66bd3d
And as for the GDP of Gaza, what do you think this would be if the were Chinese and lived peacefully with Israel? Meanwhile,
Hamas spends $100 million a year on military infrastructure.Khatib)... As the residents of the Gaza Strip endure daily hardships due to the dire economic situation in the enclave, their Hamas leaders spend over $100 million a year on the group’s military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, according to estimates by both Israeli and Palestinian sources. Spending on digging tunnels accounts for some $40 million of that annual sum. By way of comparison, the budget of the last Hamas government, which dissolved in April 2014, was $530 million. - https://www.timesofisrael.com/hamas-spends-100-million-a-year-on-military-infrastructure/And as for US aid, much of that is returned via purchases.
Israel ends up sacrificing far more value in return for the nearly $4 billion it annually receives from Washington. That’s because nearly all military aid to Israel—other than loan guarantees, which cost Washington nothing, the U.S. gives Israel no other kind of aid—consists of credits that go directly from the Pentagon to U.S. weapons manufacturers. In return, American payouts undermine Israel’s domestic defense industry, weaken its economy, and compromise the country’s autonomy—giving Washington veto power over everything from Israeli weapons sales to diplomatic and military strategy. When Washington meddles directly in Israel’s domestic affairs, as it does often these days, Israeli leaders who have lobbied for these payments—including current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—are simply reaping the rewards of their own penny-wise, pound-foolish efforts.
The Israeli military, often ranked as the fourth-most powerful in the world, has become an adjunct to American power in a crucial region in which the U.S. has lost the appetite for projecting military force. Israeli intelligence functions as America’s eyes and ears, not just in the Middle East but in other key strategic theaters like Russia and Central Asia and even parts of Latin America. Controlling access to the output of Israel’s powerful high-tech sector is a strategic advantage for the U.S. that alone is worth many multiples of the credits Israel receives. - https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/end-american-aid-israel [and that source is actually opposing the amount of aid.]The only option here is to contend that the US should be an isolationist country.
Friends with Benefits: Why the U.S.-Israeli Alliance Is Good for America by Michael Eisenstadt, David Pollock .... The U.S.-Israeli alliance now contributes more than ever to American security, as bilateral cooperation to deal with both military and nonmilitary challenges has grown in recent years... it is a two-way partnership whose benefits to the United States have been substantial. The other, less tangible costs of the U.S.-Israeli alliance -- mainly, damage to Washington's reputation in Arab and Muslim countries, a problem also caused by American interventions and decades of U.S. support for autocratic leaders in the Middle East -- pale in comparison with the economic, military, and political gains it affords Washington.
Israel has also emerged as an important niche defense supplier to the U.S. military, with sales growing from $300 million per year before September 11 to $1.1 billion in 2006, due to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Israel's military research and development complex has pioneered many cutting-edge technologies that are transforming the face of modern war, including cyberweapons, unmanned vehicles (such as land robots and aerial drones), sensors and electronic warfare systems, and advanced defenses for military vehicles. - https://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/friends-benefits-why-us-israeli-alliance-good-america
The U.S.-Israeli economic and commercial relationship now spans IT, bio-tech, life sciences, health care solutions, energy, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, defense industries, cyber-security, and aviation, to name just a few sectors.
Critical components of leading American high-tech products are invented and designed in Israel, making these American companies more competitive and more profitable globally. Cisco, Intel, Motorola, Applied Materials, and HP are just a few examples.
Israel is home to more than 2,500 U.S. firms employing some 72,000 Israelis, according to an estimate by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Thousands more jobs are supported indirectly by these employers.

The New England-Israel Business Council released a study that shows that Israeli-founded businesses have generated about 9,000 jobs in Massachusetts alone, and indirectly support an additional 18,000. These companies represent nearly four per

Roughly 21% of Israel’s more than nine million citizens are Arabs. The vast majority of the Israeli Arabs - approximately 83% - are Muslims, 9% are Druze, and 8% are Christian. Some 52% of the Arab citizens live in northern Israel, 20% in the “Triangle” region in the center of the country, 18% in the Negev, and 8% in the mixed cities (Acre, Haifa, Jaffa, Ramla, Lod, Nof Hagalil and Maalot-Tarshiha), 1% in the Jerusalem Corridor (including West Jerusalem) and 2% in the rest of the country.It is good you do research, and are born again via faith in the risen Divine Lord Jesus (a Jew in incarnation), and there certainly is a conspiracy of spirit and ideology, and organic ones of to varying and increasing degrees power, however, there are also conspiratorial zealots who usually have an animus against authority in general, at least earthly, and which works against objectivity.Arabs in Israel have equal voting rights; it is one of the few places in the Middle East where Arab women may vote.
Arabic, like Hebrew, was an official language in Israel until 2018. That year the Knesset adopted the Nation-State Law, which downgraded the status of the Arabic language from an official state language to one holding a more ambiguous "special status."
The sole legal distinction between Jewish and Arab citizens of Israel is that the latter are not required to serve in the Israeli army. This was to spare Arab citizens the need to bear arms against their brethren. Nevertheless, many Arabs have volunteered for military duty – more than 1,000 in 2020 – and the Druze and Circassian communities are subject to the draft.
Some economic and social gaps between Israeli Jews and Arabs result from the latter not serving in the military. Veterans qualify for many benefits and jobs not available to non-veterans. Moreover, the army aids in the socialization process. On the other hand, Arabs have an advantage in obtaining some jobs when Israelis are in the military. In addition, industries like construction and trucking have come to be dominated by Israeli Arabs.
In 2020, the Jewish People Policy Institute (JPPI) reported “a dramatic rise in the share of Arab Israelis who define their primary identity as ‘Israeli,’ and a concomitant sharp decline in the share who self-identify as ‘Palestinian.’” In 2019, only 35.9% defined themselves as Israeli Arabs compared to 47.1% as Palestinians in Israel and 14.8% as just Palestinians (see also Palestinian Public Opinion Polls).
In 2021, tensions between Israeli Jews and Arabs grew significantly with an outbreak of Arab violence in some mixed cities during the Guardian of the Walls operation in Gaza. For the first time, Arabs and Jews in Haifa, Acre, Jaffa, Ramla, and Lod attacked each other. Arabs are proportionately represented in the Knesset and head all their municipalities, schools, and religious courts.
The national election of 2021 was notable for a radical change in Israeli politics, with the Ra’am Party becoming the first Arab party to join a governing coalition. ...

And with such, it should be plain that what was stated in the first century applies today, and will in the future:
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes. (Romans 11:25-28)
