We’re rapidly reaching the point where people like Joe Kent, RandFan, Tucker Carlson, and half the Democratic Party hate Israel more than the Arab countries in the region. What are RandFan, Ron and Rand Paul, Joe Kent, Tucker Carlson, etc. going to do when there’s peace in the Middle East? Will they still be carrying a torch for “The Palestinians” even if/when the Palestinians put down their arms and decide to live in peace and prosperity with their Israeli and Arab neighbors instead of living in a constant state of hatred and perpetual war?
Trump wants peace and an end to this. He’s told the Israeli leader in colorful language too

- True Christians are citizens of the kingdom of Jesus Christ first, and only secondarily citizens of any earthly nation or state.
- American Christians are more closely united to Palestinian Christians and Arab Christians and Jewish Christians throughout the world than we are to the state of non-Christian Israel.
- Israel was chosen by God from all the peoples of the world to be the focus of special blessing in the history of redemption, which climaxed in Jesus Christ, the Messiah.
- God has saving purposes for ethnic Israel (Romans 11:25–26), as he does for the Arab nations (Isaiah 19:19–25; Psalm 22:27; Matthew 28:19–20; Romans 3:29–30).
- The Christian plea in the Middle East to Palestinians and Jews is: “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31). This is the path to peace. “Jesus himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility” (Ephesians 2:14).
- Therefore, all Christians, especially Christian pastors, should speak openly and joyfully of our unity with Arab and Jewish Christians...
