“Would you rather live in an Iran, Iraq, Syria or Afghanistan? Or an Israel?”

Excellent comments

Just think of what “Palestine” was like in the late 1800s while a province of the Ottoman Empire. Mark Twain wrote about how poor and unimpressive it was.

After reviewing this list, can you supply a reason for the large discrepancy between the Arab/Islamic population’s contribution to the world body and that of the Jew? There are 165 Jews listed as opposed to 6 from the Arab side.

“Though there are ominous biblical consequences pronounced on those who “curse Israel,” there are also wonderful blessings promised those who “bless” her...”

It only took him 8/10’s of the article to get down to brass tacks.

Incredimail is a product of Israel. It’s also a warning flag to look for crapware whenever I see it on a customer’s computer.

Well I certainly hope you and Mr. Boone support Israel for more than just your own Biblical rewards.

And of course, the greatest thing tiny Israel gave to me, and to the whole world, was a Savior...One Who was willing to die for our sins.

And God calls them the “chosen” people. And Jesus Christ came from the lineage of Abraham,Isaac and Jacob and the Biblical clock is set on the nation of Israel just to name a few more reasons !!!

They did the same thing with Czechoslovakia - told the Czechs to be “reasonable” - just give Hitler the Sudetenland - this will bring peace to the world - then they looked the other way when Hitler invaded the rest of Czechoslovakia. What incredible perversity and blindness, especially from Europeans who suffered so much in World War II and should know better than anyone else what appeasement brings.

They’ve done that on a sliver of land in 60 years, as opposed to the 1300+ years of Muslim civilization which has contributed... umm... hmm. Hashish?
