Basing our foreign policy and personal opinions on bad exegesis, fantastic eschatology, and a completely warped understanding of the region and its history is absolute insanity.
This reminds me of a road sign near where I live. "No Excuse for Poor Driving!"
It's the sort of thing everybody would agree with but only because it says nothing helpful at all.
Christians who have been taught the lie that one day in the future Christ is going to rule from Jerusalem over the Jews, think they are helping God out by helping the nation of Israel today.
I agree with this to an extent. I don't know whether it is a lie or not but I tend to the view that it is. However, that doesn't change anything about the modern nation of Israel having a right to defend itself against missiles being fired randomly at its population.

I don't think much more needs be said. It is just sheer misanthropy.
Name one person here who thinks the United Nations is God.
Your input in this thread is rubbish.
What about the right of muslims to fire back? It was Israel that attacked them four years ago, you know...and even the whole world condemned it. Listen, I am not for any of this, which I believe should be the ONLY Christian stance. If you want to disagree, that is ok, but you certainly do not have the facts.
When you take sides, you make God a respector of persons..on 'fleshly things', it is making 'God a liar. Do you understand that? He has said He was never a respector of persons based on the flesh...at any rate, some facts:
Civilian casualties began to shoot up on Sunday, after Israel said it was stepping up attacks on the homes of suspected Hamas activists. After that warning, an Israeli missile flatted a two-story house in a residential area of Gaza City, killing at least 11 civilians, most of them women and children.
It remained unclear who the target of that missile attack was. However, the new tactic ushered in a risky phase of the operation, given the likelihood of civilian casualties in the crowded territory of 1.6 million Palestinians. The rising civilian toll was also likely to intensify pressure on Israel to end the fighting. Hundreds of civilian casualties in an Israeli offensive in Gaza four years ago led to fierce international condemnation of Israel.
In all, 87 Palestinians, including 50 civilians, have been killed in the six-day onslaught and 720 have been wounded.

You fatuous fathead! Israel didn't start this conflict!
Name one person here who thinks the United Nations is God.
Israel became a state. God has intervened for Israel...the 6 day war was no coincidence....and God will intervene for Israel again.

I know your not a Christian and I am, but I agree with you because it is certain Christians that have been brainwashed by dispensationalism/futurism that have the Middle East in a mess.
George W Bush actually bombed Iraq because he thought a certain passage in the book of Revelation was playing out before his eyes.
W told French President Chirac the following:
“This confrontation is willed by God, who wants to use this conflict to erase his people’s enemies before a New Age begins”…
If W understood that the New Age began in 70AD he wouldn't have bombed Iraq.
As I said before, the Middle East is a mess because of Zionist Jews who want a third temple, Christians that have been brainwashed by dispensationalism, and Muslims that follow a false prophet (Muhammad) and a false god (Allah).
And still you have not named one person here who thinks the UN is God.You do know it was the united nations who gave Israel the land in 1948, right?Name one person here who thinks the United Nations is God.

Idiot.The following is one example:
Just substitute "God" with "United Nations" in the above quote from glorydaz.
Idiot.
Glorydaz does not think the UN is God.
Do you understand the difference between agape love and the love the world displays?
Idiot.
The fact that there is an annual gay parade in Tel Aviv is not exactly relevant.
