I used to assume that FReepers and other conservatives preaching this "Israel is always right 100% of the time and we MUST blindly support EVERYTHING they do no matter what" stuff got their ideology from a misreading of the Old Testament (confusing the ancient Kingdom of Israel that practiced second temple Judaism with the modern day secular Republic of Israel, and ignoring the fact that the New Testament said all the Old Testament covenants were no longer binding).

However, when I actually looked into the Old Testament in detail, it ALSO repeatedly says that Israel STRAYED from God's word OVER and OVER again, and that God was enraged with Israel and punished them SEVERELY for it.

So where they get this bizarro "Israel is NEVER wrong, God says so!" stuff is beyond me, it can't be from EITHER Testament of the Bible.

In any case, looking it objectively without any religious backdrop, Israel's domestic policies (guns, abortion, the gay mafia, etc.) are absolutely terrible, and no matter how much lip service Netanyuahu and other Israeli "Conservatives" give us, their beliefs have much more common in UK with European style "Conservatives" (Socialist Lite) than American conservativism they CLAIM to hold near and dear to their hearts.

And even putting all THAT stuff aside, Bibi was one of the FIRST "World leaders" to throw Trump under the bus, AFTER Trump was the best President Bibi ever had. Pretty much proves Bibi only cares about Bibi.

Of course I support Israel's right to exist and hope they wipe out the insane Islamofacists, but I'm under no delusions how "good" their "conservative" government is!

No, GOD still loves and has a Covenant with Israel, but not for Salvation. GOD will judge them, but only he can. My probl problem with Netenyahu is that he has been TOO couchos.
