I would simply point to history, and what happens to countries in the west that stop supporting Israel. Germany, being the number one point of reference..
I’ve been clear that I don’t support the US sending money to Israel. Number one they don’t need it. Number two we don’t have the money.
Every time, throughout Israel's history, after a short period of time, those people have been conquered and scattered throughout the world.
Why?
Because they, except for a few individuals, disobeyed God's Commandants and laws that were given to Moses.
Moses exhorted them to follow those commandments and laws before they crossed the Jordan.
Joshua, at his point of death, also exhorted them to follow those commandments and laws, as did all of the prophets after him.
They didn't! They began to worship the gods of the nations they defeated, they built alter on high places, built prayer poles to those gods and even burned their children alive at the alter of Molech.
“In other news, a leaked document from the NSA details how its employees are trained to see ‘gentiles’ and ‘Christians’ as privileged groups in American society. When asked about the revelation, an ADL spokesman reiterated the claim but urged caution because “people might start to think that the NSA is run by jews.”
Nice ability to cherry pick what you want to say. But, the Bible had far more information in it than just that. And, one has to take into consideration the time and events that have occurred.
After her puff piece with Muslim Sndrew Tate, Candace being anti-Jewish didn’t surprise me at all.
Also, you might research what happened to Annas and Caiaphus after Christ was crucified. Their deaths were not pleasant because they realized that they had murdered the Glorious Messiah.
Did he not destroy those enemies with the sword of his Mouth as well as predict the destruction of the Temple and the dispersion of the Jews by the Romans?
Romans 11.
The Romans crucified Jesus.
It was the Jews who wanted Pilate the set the criminal, Barabbas, free and shouted to crucify Jesus.
Jesus, the Messiah, told all of us what we had to do. Time and again. If we read the words. If we are unable to understand the words, then a dictionary comes in handy.
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel, And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and will cut off from thee the
righteous and the wicked.
Ezekiel 21:1-3 KIV
But, keep the money coming and keep sending troops, white troops because we need them. Israeli Official Admits Not Even Trying to Get American Hostages Released BEN BARTEE NOV 22, 2023 (Note: In the original version of this article, I stated that Israel jails Palestinian women and children on “no charges,” when, in fact, it jails Palestinian women on intentionally vague charges like “having contacts with hostile organisations” and then holds them and the babies they have while incarcerated indefinitely in pre-trial detention with no due process. I apologize for the error.) The Israeli state and Hamas appear to have reached a tentative hostage exchange deal. Via NBC News: “Israel and Hamas have agreed to a breakthrough deal to release 50 women and children who were kidnapped and held in Gaza, a potential landmark deal that will also involve a four-day pause in fighting, the delivery of hundreds of aid trucks, and the release of 150 Palestinian women and children* held in Israeli jails.” *Note that when Israeli civilians are held in Gaza, they were “kidnapped” and are termed “hostages,” but when Israeli jails Palestinian women and children with no charges or judicial process of any kind, they do not receive the benefit of the same designation in Western corporate state media. That’s how subtle propaganda can get, and it’s easy to miss it if you’re not attuned to the pettiness with which these organizations play semantical games. Curiously, though, Israel is not making any effort to get non-Israeli hostages released — only Israeli. Via NBC News: “Israel will not exchange Palestinian prisoners in exchange for non-Israeli hostages, a senior Israeli official who gave NBC News details on a tentative agreement with Hamas that is awaiting a vote from Israel's government According to the official, Israel is currently only negotiating for its citizens and that other countries will have to negotiate for their own terms with Hamas. Dual nationals, those who hold Israel citizenship along with another country, are included in Israel's deals, the official said.” So, the U.S. government hands Israel no-strings-attached billions of dollars every single year, to the tune of hundreds of billions in the aggregate, in exchange for zero effort to get American hostages freed when they’re captured within the territorial bounds of the Israeli state. When it is finally presented with one opportunity to repay in infinitesimally small part all of that generosity, it offers only its middle finger to its American patrons. Not that anyone who understands the nature of the Israeli state would expect otherwise. Its no-American-hostage-rescue policy is even more understandable in the context of its current geopolitical position. Israel’s strategic play here is obvious to anyone not blinded by its powerful propaganda network that extends, unfortunately, deep into American corporate state media. In the immediate term, the continued captivity of hostages of all nationalities by Hamas serves Israel’s interests more than their release would. It serves as a valuable propaganda tool to gin up anger and provides an ongoing pretext to do whatever Israel likes in Gaza with impunity under the guise of pursuing the release of hostages. All international criticism is deflected with the call on Hamas to “release the hostages.” Were they released, justifying the Israeli government’s activities there (carpet-bombing) would become much more diplomatically tenuous. (Of course, it’s unclear exactly how carpet-bombing Gaza could ever achieve the stated objective of returning the Israeli hostages unless they intend them to come back as corpses with limbs blown apart. Nonetheless, the Israeli propagandists have been beavering away trying to square that circle for many weeks now.) Furthermore, the continued captivity of American hostages, in particular, serves to maintain (nearly unconditional) American government support for its Gaza campaign — a weighty, some might say Herculean, diplomatic feat, given that virtually the entire rest of the world has condemned Israel for what it’s done. And that Herculean effort is costing the U.S. government big time in terms of its global cache. At this moment, the United States is Israel’s only geopolitical ally left that’s fully on board with the program. Another reason Israel would like to draw out the military operation in Gaza as long as possible using whatever pretext it can is that it’s stalling for time to figure out what to do with all of the Gazans it would like to displace. A leaked “concept paper” from the Intelligence Ministry proposed expelling the Gazans into the Sinai Peninsula to live in tent cities, which did not go over well diplomatically, to say the least. More recently, it’s been pressuring America and Western Europe to take the Gazans off of their hands. So it needs some wriggle room to devise alternative solutions. Related: Israeli Parliament Members Demand U.S., Europe Import Gazan Refugees However, at the same time, the state is under immense, unprecedented internal pressure to be seen to be doing something concrete to secure the Israeli hostages aside from posturing in the media. Netanyahu and his allies were already in existential political trouble before October 7th, and the threats to his and his ideologically expansionist base’s grip on power have only multiplied following the government’s clear de-prioritization of hostage release below annihilating Gaza, not to mention the “intelligence failure” of that day itself. It turns out that waging war can be just as difficult politically on the international stage as it can on the domestic front, even in a country as usually united in its militarism as Israel.
It seems like it took the scripture to trigger you into revealing your true self. Why did it take you so long to reveal yourself on FR as an antiIsrael progressive? Why did you ever register on Free Republic ?
[15] The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, [16] Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions: [17] And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand. [18] And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these? [19] Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand. [20] And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes. [21] And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: [22] And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all: [23] Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God. [24] And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. [25] And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever. [26] Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. [27] My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people. [28] And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
