Israel is God’s country. It became a state, a nation in 1948. The enemy countries around it have been on a war mode to remove them.
It is God’s to give but they do not acknowledge God’s gift. Israel offered peace to Arafat in land. He refused. He’d rather fight for it all.. But God.. didn’t give it to him.

A law signed by President George W. Bush in 2002 the American Servicemembers’ Protection Act (ASPA), bars the United States from cooperating with the International Criminal Court (ICC) in pursuing warrants against Israel.

Moreover, the law gives authority to the president “to use all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release of any person … who is being detained or imprisoned by, on behalf of, or at the request of the International Criminal Court.”

That provision applies to American personnel as well as to Israelis, and other close U.S. allies.
