A Christian Church, by it's very definition is opposed to Isreal which is a non-Christian nation. At least that is my impression. How many Christian churches are there in Israel? Did you want the president to attend a Jewish Ceremony on Easter? And, why is it if a prominent person speaks out against the Israeli people, he or she loses a job when, on the other hand, people are always calling the Muslim and the Arabs the most horrible names and many people think that is quite acceptable.

Wha? Since when is the "Christian Church" by definition "opposed" to non-Christian nations?

There are certainly a few that I went to when I went on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. The Annunciation Basilica in Nazareth, the Church of the Transfiguration on Mount Tabor. Of course there are also several churches in the Old City of Jerusalem, which is currently controlled by Israel.

Israel ALWAYS has been and will be Gods chosen land and people.

Nothing has or will change that.

Gods covenants are irrevocable.

The people he chose in Genesis, are the people he delivers in Revelation.

Paul speaks of gentiles being grafted in. Not being a whole new plant.

17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, were graffed in among them, and with them partaking of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

From what I read gentiles by accepting Jesus (Yeshua) are grafted into the tree of Abraham and now part of Israel. We are the biggest group of Zionist in existence. We are looking for a Jewish messiah, ruling Israel from Mount Zion. It is only those who pervert the word of G_d that make Jews the enemy of Christianity. There are those who belive that those of European origin are actually from the tribe of Ephraim. Now wouldn’t that be a kicker? Shalom.

And, why is it if a prominent person speaks out against the Israeli people, he or she loses a job when, on the other hand, people are always calling the Muslim and the Arabs the most horrible names and many people think that is quite acceptable.

umm, 'cause Muslims and Arabs are horrible and do horrible things?

Most rational people can see clearly the difference between the Jewish faith and Islam in actual daily practice --- today.

If you can't, no explanation is possible.
