Dan, I should have been clearer what I meant. I meant that please, do not quote that verse for justifying blind support for Israel and/or jewish matters. Nation of Israel is one of members of global community whether we like to admit it or not. We need to support them within reasonable and justifiable boundary according to the Bible and international laws, not blindly. If they do wrong, we should be able to criticize without any fear of retaliation. But if we do, then pretty much guaranteed to be called anti semite. Semites are descendants of Shem, consist of many people of that region, so called middle easterners mainly. But when you look at majority of so called jewish and Israelis are Caucasian looking, some even have blond hair, not like Amir Tsafarti, they called themselves as Ashkenazi jews. Ashkenazi is descendants of Japheth, by definition they are not Semites. There are some incoherent things going on. I suspect that there are some (probably many) things hidden from us (probably intentionally). Our God is not only Just God but also Almighty God. He does not need us, Christians, to help them unjustly and/or blindly since He is beyond Powerful. Have you heard that the USS Liberty incident? Probably not, because that has been systemically silenced and buried like many other things. That is a very good example of how we, the US is supporting Israel. That's a shame. In Matthew 5:43-45 we read, "You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust." Everything will be revealed. Vengeance is God's, and He has a very sharp sword and will employ it to reveal what each "Jew" and "Gentile" does. We can discern, yet we can harm others using generalizations. So Ready, I find your post offensive and unnecessary to this forum. joan Many villains today are Jewish, but many are gentile as well. It's a human problem. I'd say God has blessed the Jews greatly (while also disciplining them severely), and it's up to each individual to use their talents for good or evil. And it's no wonder the enemy seems to take great pleasure in twisting some of God's chosen people to serve him. How are we to view and treat the Jews? Romans 11 gives some crystal clear guidance. That isn't subservience -- it's God's word. We have decided to pull the video because it is not really appropriate for this forum. It is seen as devisive by a number of our members, some who have not posted publicly. I understand the point you are making but am not crazy about the video.
