Supporting Israel’s right to exist and protect its citizens is one thing. But supporting demolishment of homes that belong to people because they’re not Jewish is quite another.

You are wrong on two fronts. First, you are wrong in a very practical way. I wonder why you are even on FreeRepublic when you continue to spout your anti-Jewish-pro-terrorist drivel. There is no place called "Palestine" and there is no ethnicity called "Palestinian." The fight for a homeland of these people you refer to is simply a sick joke foisted on the world by the Arab nations that hate these people almost as much as they hate the Jewish people.

But most seriously, you are wrong biblically. Your theology is riddled with what some might see as benign anti-Semitism. I would not say it is benign. As a student of church history, I know that your theology has its origins in the Second Century and from the start was rabidly anti-Semitic. All throughout the church's sad history it remained such. When faced with a choice even John Calvin decided he hated Jews more than Roman Catholics.

You have chosen poorly. Repent. It is your only hope. How can you imagine that when Jesus spoke of giving food, drink, clothing, and compassion to "My brothers," He was speaking of anyone other than the Jewish people? You have shunned the promises... and exchanged them for a curse.

The Pharisees who didn’t believe in Christ were Jewish — did Christ call them His brothers? Of course not. The Bible is very clear that it is circumcism of the heart, not the flesh, that makes one a Jew and Christ’s brother:

Romans 2:28-29 A man is not a Jew if he is only one outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. No, a man is a Jew if he is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man’s praise is not from men, but from God.

Luke 8:21: He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice.”
