As an American Jew who is religiously observant, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the support that Israel gets from religious Christians. The way that they express their faith so naturally and authentically, and move from thought to speech to action, is an example for us all.
I think that religious Jews and religious Christians have in common a belief that G-d controls all and that our job is to do the right thing, and let G-d worry about the consequences. My world-view has more in common with religious Christians than it does with non-believers who descend from people of any faith.
To those of you who are non-Jewish supporters of Israel, you have my deepest thanks from the bottom of my heart.
As a Torah Observant Jew, I too, am deeply grateful for their support of Israel and concern for the Jewish people’s survival. May HaShem Bless them for standing with us.
Well, thanks sfor that.
there is another poster here, who does not seem to appreciate it that much, given his penchant for calling others anti-semites, just becasue we notice that a large majority of American Jews tend to vote for Democrats.
But facts are facts; so do lesser proportions of other groups, and greater proportions of still other groups.

My earliest recollection of Christian support for Israel is from Baptist Sunday School classes about 1949 or 1950, where every Sunday morning we kids gave our pennies and nickles to a collection to plant a tree in the new nation of Israel. We were taught that God loves those who love Israel and those that hate Israel would suffer His wrath.
“Pray for Israel”, God’s chosen people”, have been on going themes in churches I have attended ever since. How Chomsky can state what he did, just shows his utter ignorance of Christianity.
Trees live a very long time and I like to think that, somewhere in Israel, there is a tree, still bearing fruit, that my Sunday School class helped to plant.
