I don't "stand with Israel" the ethnic Jewish killed the Messiah and continue to PERSECUTE followers of Christ. Jerusalem was leveled in AD70 as judgment for this national sin (the rulers and crowd screamed "His blood be on us and on our children") and the remaining ethnic Jewish were scattered, of course some remained in the land. Those currently claiming to be Jews, are from what research I can gather, ethnic eastern European/European converts to Judaism. The "true Israel" today are those who repent of sin and follow Christ alone. Those in the land are not descended from Abraham (unless they are of the sons of Ishmael, the illegitimate son of Abraham and Hagar, who in general follow Islam, they are also not considered "true sons of Abraham" but were spared and even blessed because of Abraham. The peoples of the land also descended from the incestuous relationship of Lot with his daughters, and perhaps remnants of other invading people groups and/or people groups that were not destroyed and intermarried with jews o er the years. Even during Christs life on earth the Samaritans were considerd unclean because they were half breeds (remnant jews not deported following the destruction and deportation of Israel and Judah). The Israelites did NOT obey God and destroy the wicked idol worshipping nations in the land in the OT and have faced consequences for that sin over and over) both Judaism and Islam stand in the face of God Almighty and deserve judgment and Satan is perfectly content to use these wicked religions to draw many astray into eternal damnation.
I do pray for innocents and fellow Christians no matter their ethnicity. May Christ be glorified in all things. He has defeated sin and death!
Me, I stand against them. Whether they're direct descendants of David or are the synagogue of satan, makes no difference to me. The state of Israel is an obscene blight that actively engages with clandestine warfare against everyone, even their 'allies'. Cut off all support, let them stand alone and face the consequences of their policies
That has to be Homo sapiens in general - if he created us all and loves us all equally (supposedly)
Sorry but I've always found the moniker "God's chosen people" to be the most obnoxiously sanctimonious, self-glorifying, narcissistic, pukeworthy label ever. If it's in the Bible, it's because guess what—a Jewish guy wrote it in there about his own people.
If one understands scripture, Paul makes it very clear that true "Israel" are those who repent and put their faith in Christ alone (as does Hebrews) those true "Israeilites" were always the ones who had faith in The one true God and were awaiting His Messiah. Most of the flesh of Abraham rejected the Messiah even in the OT and to this day reject the Lord Christ. Jerusalem was flattened literally as judgment for that national sin and the "jews" were dispersed among the nations also in judgement. So all true Christians are grafted in and have become "true Israel" the "seed of Abraham" who by faith became their father.
Thank You that's one of the first things I learned in church many years before being saved. God's Cosen and that's why they are attacked and ridiculed just as Christians are second class citizens. However that doesn't mean evil people disguised as Jews aren't causing havoc in the world.

You Don't have to....
"Language Timothy!"
(sorry for British sitcom reference)
Christian's are to treat Israelis as God's chosen people,says the Lord, who can stand against them?

Agnostic? Sounds like you don't have a dog in this fight!
So long as the tax dollars the government takes from me under duress goes towards this fight, I absolutely do.

Apparently your not a Christian, no skin off my butt if you don't believe.
