The enemy of my enemy is my enemy. At least it is in this bizarro world.

Interesting and enlightening reading for those who blithely proclaim that the Israelis can’t lose because ‘God is on their side’...
The Israelites - the Chosen People - were overrun by their enemies and scattered a number of times in their history..
I pray that today the strength and resolve of Israel and its erstwhile allies will be enough to prevail, but there is the possibility (with historical precedent) that this may be the beginning of another period of scattering and testing...
This isn’t even really an opinion - just a cautionary note about the arrogance, and futility, of ‘assuming knowledge of God’s Plan’ before it unfolds...
We were warned these things were coming. In the Book it’s called ‘Revelations’. Fear not.
You're not alone.
This should not be a surprise. This is prophesied. Nevertheless — I’m JUST as angry as you are! I STAND WITH ISRAEL! They had every right — AND A RESPONSIBILITY to carry out the raid on that floatilla. When the next one comes, they should stop it too — or just sink it. ENOUGH ALREADY.
How long before Obama comes out and condemns Israel? It’s a fate acompli’ — we all know that, right? And then what? I pray to God he’s not DUMB enough to actually try to put sanctions on Israel, or diminish our ties, or tank punitive actions against them. How bad does he want to poke GOD in the eye?! In addition, that is something that I couldn’t support, and might have to actively oppose, both as a Christian AND as an American...
you are not alone in feeling rage and fear.
Some of us follow a thread everyday, “Pray for The Peace of Jerusalem”. It helps to reaffirm our trust in God and calm our concern for Israel.

The majority of our citizens support Israel at a time when our curent gov’t does not.
You are not alone.Time to cast a giant shadow.
No Worries,
What we need is every GOP Hopeful Candidate to announce their support of Israel. It is time to let the Liberal Jews who really will stand by the side of Israel through thick or thin.
Imagine what would happen if one were stopped at the Canadian border and asked to step out of the car for an inspection for drugs. Instead of getting out of the car peacefully, we start knocking out the border guards with pipes. How long would one live?
I am worried, too. Obama is a terrible weak spot for our country and our allies - especially Israel. He’s turned loose the dogs...
Besides the U.S. most nations never have given Israel more than lip service at best.
It’s okay to feel righteous anger. I guess I’m glad to know that I’m not the only one. God’s purposes will be fulfilled, but I do agree that it is a hard, hard thing to watch. We must pray.
“Has the world gone mad, I think the blockade is NATO sanctioned yet NATO countries themselves are defying the blockade?”
Begin counting the number of countries defying their own blockade. Just saying, it may be interesting somewhere...
Relax and take slow deep breaths, inhaling from your chest to get the air in. Genuine Jews and self respecting Christians like the Orthodox and certain Catholics and Evangelicals whose heart and soul is with Israel-though not all of them sadly-will be seen through to time periods of peace and prosperity where we all recognize that everything we have comnes straight from the Lord. Grit our teeth and barrell through these next few years of civilization decaying and think about the good times ahead.
It will take only 2 incidents before it's over.
Israel should wait for boats to enter their waters then disable them, let their senders come and retrieve them.
Count me as “ticked off”, but God will not abandon Israel nor His covenant with Abraham.
