“We’re part of the country, whether we agree with the government or not ...”
That’s a good collectivist viewpoint, but speak for yourself. No government speaks for me.
So if God judges countries that hate Israel (which is not true of most Americans), why are all the Israel-hating Middle East countries, or even European countries which are very anti-Zionist, and anit-Israel still in existence?

One of the actual authorized functions of the “general government” is to deal with foreign entities as the people’s representative.
They will be dealt with in due time.
Do you read the Bible much? Or at all? They're still around because they have not been truly "judged" yet. That happens at "THE END." But that's not to say that judgments won't rain down upon them in the meantime. Look at the wars of the 1960's and '70's over there. Israel faced the combined might of seven nations surging against their borders with a combined attack and yet tiny Israel was able to defeat their enemies pretty handily. We were not involved directly, only as an arms supplier. Read Isaiah 17 and tell me that Syria isn't risking imminent immolation with her course concerning Israel right now. I'm looking for the fulfillment of that prophesy any day. Same for Ezekiel 38 & 39. I fully expect that at some point Russia may well launch a full blown attack on Israel and according to that prophesy not one hair on the head of God's people will be harmed and there will be NO other explanation but that this was "God's Will."
