can somoene please explain to me why Jews are so heavily protected by Christians? I had a discussion with a Jewish person I'm close with and he went full demonic on me when discussing Jesus. I have no idea why it came up either, he doesn't even know I'm Christian. But clearly I'm not a very well versed Christian so would like someone to explain it to me.
Christian here. There’s a passage in Genesis where God talks to Abraham and basically says “whoever blesses you will be blessed, and whoever curses you shall be cursed… and in you shall all the nations of the earth be blessed”. That last part is explained by the fact that Jesus is a descendant of Abraham and has provided salvation for all people. I think most Christians, including my own church, misinterpret the first part to mean that we always have to support Jews and the nation of Israel in everything they do. Hence America’s long term support of Israel.
I think Israel should exist as a nation (they’re better than the Muslims who want all of us dead), but they shouldn’t need American military or foreign aid to do it. America shouldn’t be in the business of propping up other nations, or giving foreign aid to anyone. We have our own problems to deal with and should put America First.
If it is proven that Mossad or other elements of the Israeli government are responsible for 9/11, then they should be prosecuted and punished accordingly, and should not be given a free pass just because they’re Jews. At the same time, Jews who had nothing to do with that atrocity shouldn’t be blamed or punished for the acts of their countrymen.
With regards to the Jew you talked to who reacted negatively to the mention of Jesus, can’t say I’m surprised.
“He came into His own, and His own received Him not”
John 1:11
