Isolationism works every time. Do you see how israel treats Christians there? Very poorly. Christians have suicidal empathy for israel. Do you know about the USS Liberty? israel has never been our ally.
Mere assertions do not make such true. Tell me what you think the result would be if the US withdrew all forces on foreign soil, refused any military actions on such, and stopped supporting strategic allies.
Do you see how israel treats Christians there? Far better than Muslims nations which seek the annihilation of the US, which you implicitly support by attacking Israel. As far as Christian, the term is far two broad, yet only about 2% of Israel are classed as that. And most of Israelis who say they are Christian also say they are ethnically Arab, and agree with Muslims in saying Israel cannot be a democracy and a Jewish state at the same time.- https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2016/05/10/5-facts-about-israeli-christians/ May 10, 2016
Now see how politically incorrect Christians are often treated in the US.
And of course, most attacks - usually spitting - would be by the Ultra Orthodox, which is to be expected (see how welcome a Christian would be in any such neighborhood in NYC, or in a liberal one. I know the answer to the latter. Meanwhile,
The Rossing Center for Education and Dialogue recently released its second annual report documenting harassment and violence directed at Christian communities in Israel and East Jerusalem throughout 2024. Tragically, the survey reported 111 documented cases of harassment,...nine incidents were documented in northern Israel,...The most common form of physical harassment is spitting.
Yet a majority (58.5%) of respondents reported feeling comfortable wearing visible religious symbols, such as a cross, in places that are mixed or predominantly Israeli-Jewish, while 20.5% feel uncomfortable. Notably, the majority Muslim East Jerusalem stands out as an area of relatively high discomfort (42%). Only one in 10 respondents reported having experienced harassment from Israeli Jews. The vast majority (88.3%) reported no experiences of harassment by Israeli Jewish citizens (such as verbal abuse, spitting, and physical assault) due to their Christian identity. However, in Central Israel and East Jerusalem, harassment is reportedly more prevalent, with 20% reporting such experiences....
An overwhelming majority of respondents cited problems within Arab society. 77% cited escalating violence within Arab society, as well as the broader deterioration of the socio-political situation
The Rossing Center attributed this uptick in aggression to the political environment, writing that the driving factor is “nationalist fervor and religious extremism, particularly among the Hardal (ultra-Orthodox Nationalist) groups.” - https://israel365news.com/407801/attacks-on-christians-in-israel-are-rising-but-a-closer-look-shows-a-different-story/
Thus once again, is Islam is the major problem.
Christians have suicidal empathy for israel.
As we should even for any minority nation which has had to fight for its existence in its tiny historical homeland against a vast horde of militant enemies confederate in seeking its extermination, as well as that of the US - which it would do even if Israel did not exist. And which would live in peace if not for them, and has engage in decades of sacrifices and concessions in seeking such, and would not need US aid if not for these militant Muslims. Against which Israel is a critical strategic ally, though irrational isolationists treat it as an enemy, as if Islam was not.
Do you know about the USS Liberty? israel has never been our ally.
Yes, I do know about the USS Liberty, as my post shows more than the typical poster who goes back to1967 attack on the USS Liberty as a pretext for their attacks on the state of Israel.
As I told allendale in response to his brief post you should read:
A rational, well-reasoned reply, but there are those who still drag out the USS Liberty again.
Thus, as if on cue, i see your antagonistic post.
Meanwhile, a Christian is one who has received life in themselves and are saved by effectual penitent, heart-purifying ("purifying their hearts by faith"), regenerating, justifying faith in the Sin-bearing, Atoning, Crucified and Risen Divine Son of God, (Acts 10:43-47, 11:13-18, 15:7-9; Titus 3:5) who saves sinners on His merit, (2 Cor. 5:21) thereby being made "accepted in the Beloved." (Eph. 1:6) For which faith is imputed for righteousness, (Romans 4:5) and is confessed/shown by baptism (Acts 2:38, 8:12, 36, 37) and following the Lord according to His word, by His Spirit, (Acts 2:38-47; Jn. 10:27, 28; Romans 8:13,14) with repentance when convicted by conscience of not doing so. ((2 Samuel 12:7-13; Psalms 32:5, 6; 51:3; Hosea 5:15; 1 John 1:9) Glory and thanks be to God. Which faith is in contrast to those who were never born of the Spiritor who terminally fall away, thereby forfeiting what faith obtained. (Gal. 5:1-4; Heb. 3:12, 10:25-39) - https://peacebyjesus.net/savedorlost.html
