Anyone who doesn’t want to support Israel is ignoring that they have major non-nato ally status in US law. The US formally has codified our support for Israel, so claiming that they are not a US ally is simply wrong.

Also, those who ignore the issue of islamic terror toward non-moslems in and adjacent to their regions is being stupid about the islamic religion really being a political order that incorporates religion in its drive for conquest. Israel is responding appropriately to terror in their land. We wish Nigeria would do the same.

Finally, there is the spiritual side of this. Those who ignore the clear indications in the prophets that God will fight for Israel when they’ve returned to nation status after a 2nd dispersion 2000 years ago are ignorant of those things or are fighting God.

1. Nothing that is "codified into law" ought to mean anything anymore. Support for Ukraine is "codified into law." U.S. military campaigns in Third World dumps all over the globe were "codified into law." No American should feel obligated in any way (politically, morally, etc.) to support a foreign country just because that country's lobbyists have managed to cut deals with U.S. politicians and corporate interests to establish business relationships that effectively become overseas money-laundering operations.

2. The spiritual side of this should have been dismissed out of hand when the first "pride" parade was held in Jerusalem, of all places. This kind of thinking looked particularly silly early in the morning of October 7th when Hamas mutants invading from Gaza were preying on "Jews" who had gathered in the desert of southern Israel for some kind of rave concert/festival on the night of a Sabbath that coincided with a holy day in the Jewish calendar. Israel is nothing more than a modern, secular, socialist state that is no different than its counterparts all over Europe. Some of us are as dismissive of Israel as we are of those other countries.

Dispensationalist nonsense conjured up by a cult leader leader (Darby) and disseminated in the U.S. in the first instance by a crooked lawyer (Scofield). It's long past time for American evangelicals to grow up.

Israel isn’t an ally. The only time their military was involved with ours was the USS Liberty.

I don’t want to support Israel’s Deep State.

And that’s what ours is doing, supporting theirs.

60% of the inhabitants of Israel are atheist.

Those who are not atheist follow the Talmud.

Go read Gittin 57a3-4 from the Talmud and then come back and tell me that Christians have a religious duty to help Israelis kill Palestinians.
