"But for a democracy to enjoy the principled support of the U.S. and its taxpayers, don't you think it would be nice if everyone born there -- not just Jews -- had a right to vote?"

Funny. I lived in Israel, I'm not Jewish, and I got to vote, go figure.

It is not about individuals it is about nations. All individuals are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. God says Israel is a stubborn and rebelious people, hence their 4000 year history. He does not choose them for who they are but because of who He is. God keeps his promises. My point is If the Nation USA wants to be blessed we should bless Israel, that is how GOD set it up. I myself know that I am saved even if the USA isn't.

God knows who Israel is.

What do you know about G_d? NOTHING! What nation were you born in. Some Muslim rathole?

[looky]

Hmmm..hard to understand your logic. If one doesn't agree with some Israeli policy, they are automatically an anti-Semite ? If so, then there are many anti semites within the Israeli Government..

You have an "eliminate Israel and our Muslim problems will end" bug up yer ass.

Oh yeah? On what do you base this imbecilic assumption? You seem to me to have a "I am the great mind-reader and YOU-must-be-an-Israel-hater-because-you-don't-agree-with-everything-I-say" bug up your ass.

Your assertion that the territory known as Israel "Belongs" to the Jews is preposterous!. There has been continouos human (and prehuman) for nearly 500,000 years before Abraham wandered in from Iraq. A scholar once said that the only people to have never conquored and occupied Israel is the Japanese and the Cherokee, but history isn't done yet. Nearly everyone on the planet has an equal claim to the area. To claim some sort of spiritual exclusivity is the height of conceit!

If the only authority you can quote is Pat "send me your money" Robertson, you're not quoting an authority at all -- just a sleazebag whitened sepulchre with a slick spiel for sucking money out of morons.
