73% Of US Christians Say The Bible Doesn’t Influence Their Views On Israel: Poll:
Only about a quarter of American Christians say the Bible influences their views on Israel as the Israel-Hamas war continues after the Oct. 7 attack on civilians in southern Israel killed over 1,200 and prompted an Israeli military offensive in Gaza.
Lifeway Research, in collaboration with The Philos Project, conducted asurveyasking 1,252 American Christians for their views on the Israel-Hamas war. The poll, conducted between Nov. 14 and 21 and released Dec. 14, has a margin of error of +/-2.9 percentage points.
Respondents were asked about what has “influenced” their views about Israel and were given a list of responses that they could select all that apply. About 27% of Christians selected the Bible, suggesting that among 73% of respondents, the Bible does not inform their views of Israel.
The Bible was the second most commonly cited answer, coming in behind the media at 56%.
A much higher share of Protestants (32%) and non-denominational Christians (37%) pointed to the Bible as an influence on their views about Israel than Catholics (16%).
Russia: the civilian population in Palestine can’t be bombed, but in Ukraine, it can. Turkey: 4M Palestinians have the right to their own state, but 40M Kurds do not. Egypt: we worry about the Palestinians, but we won’t let them in. Houthis of Yemen: our country is in complete devastation, but we will fight Israel. Western leftists & LGBT activists: Palestinians are wonderful peaceful people, but we won’t go to them, they’ll kill us there. Hamas: we should not take care of the residents of Gaza, let the UN take care of them. You can’t make this stuff up… .....
The United States military reports on an incident that occurred this morning in the Red Sea: four boats of the Houthis fired at a Maersk ship and tried to take it over. In response, US military helicopters were scrambled to the area of the incident, sank three boats, and killed the Houthi crew members on them. The fourth boat managed to escape. ..... I hesitated a lot before writing this but I think I can reveal a little of what happened: The lives of over 80 Israeli soldiers were miraculously saved due to a huge miracle a few days ago. The details are still under gag order so I won’t say how and what but I will say that your prayers work BIG TIME! .....
Starts @ 3:46 interesting developments … Lisa said Bibi is all for the 2 state solution … even though IDF just leveled the area of Gaza that is not enough … Israel will take control of Gaza and they are going to continue to remove all the dangers surrounding Israel. So this plan is not going to sit well with the U.S. and Lisa feels the U.S. will then pack up and leave the area leaving Israel standing alone. Then the AC will come on the scene to give Israel a deal they can’t refuse … But … before that happens the church hast to leave …

With European demographics shifting, immigrants from Arab countries continue to dominate the streets, and the anti-Israel atmosphere is very quickly turning into blatant antisemitism.
Nearly 60 years after the last of the Jews left the Arab countries, warnings are mounting that Jews may, in the foreseeable future, once again be forced to bid farewell to the lands that they have called home for hundreds of years.
Decades of relative quiet throughout Europe and the foundation of large (Jewish) communities, especially in France, England, and Germany, seem to have come to an end, and the negative demographic climate—particularly anti-Israel sentiment which is rapidly becoming antisemitic – is growing fast.
When Theodor Herzl published his book "The Jewish State" in the late 19th century, 90% of the world's Jews lived in Europe. Even In the years following the Holocaust, European Jews still constituted 35% of world Jewry. Today, only 9% of the world's Jewish population remains on the continent – about 1.2 million – and the trend is apparent.
The most prominent community is in France, with approximately 440,000 Jews, most of whom are concentrated in the large cities. Despite the fact that it is Europe’s largest community, with many institutions and a long tradition as a part of the country, Dr. Dov Maimon, an expert on Europe with the Jewish People Policy Institute, asserts that it (the French Jewish community) is in the gravest danger. [In my snippets, I have concentrated on France, although the article also speaks of England and Germany.]
“The situation on the ground speaks for itself. There are ten million Muslims in France, the majority of which are hostile towards Israel and the Jews. Among them are former members of ISIS and radical elements that fester and grow in suburbs that police don’t dare enter.
According to Maimon, one phenomenon that we are seeing in Europe and that further intensifies the desire to emigrate is the slowly advancing social exclusion of Jews. “The Jews are reliving pre-holocaust times when they filled increasingly marginalized positions,” he said.
“They may have private businesses and they are, of course, active within their (Jewish) communities, but they are less and less a part of the overall society and culture.
"Many have removed their mezuzahs from their exterior doors, others prefer not to receive deliveries to their homes, but to go collect the packages from the post office, and almost all avoid taking Ubers as most of the drivers are Muslims.” "And there’s another important statistic: A non-trivial percentage of the French police force is of Muslim descent. Will they be able to provide optimal levels of protection when necessary? This is a question that has yet to be answered.”
Maimon: “In France, where there are already ten million Arabs as compared to half a million Jews, there is no question that the demographics are having their way. Presently in France, every other newborn is born to at least one parent of immigrant origin, such that the numbers will only continue to climb.”
. . . explains Maimon, “There is a narrative that says that the entire world is dangerous and it is best, therefore, to stay put in their current locations and wait. I contend that despite it all, you are safer in Israel than in Europe."
No Jew in Israel has ever hidden the fact that they are a Jew. There is no Jew in Europe that hasn’t worried about or concealed their Judaism at least a few times in their lives." I think that, in spite of everything, we will see a wave of aliya (immigration) from Europe after the war, it’s simply inevitable.”
