Why do Christians support Israel?

How come so many christians support israel?

  • Look how they are treated in israel. A jew would never be treated like this by christians. But yet so many christians love the jews. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlT3ARuUSGc

  • Answer:

    As a central-European it's almost on a weekly basis that I stumble over one of the 200 previous concentration camps or 20 extermination camps spread all over Europe. Already Mauthausen alone existed of 50 sub-camps and you don't want to know the methods of killing. There is no way, no way whatsoever, that I will ever feel anything else than great respect and eternal support for the average Israeli.

Because they understand that the DEMOCRATIC Israeli government protects EVERYONE's rights, and everyone's rights to visit historical sites. That if the Arab countries took over, they wouldn't be free to travel to THEIR sacred sites. And there are kooks in every country, every background, every religion. Those are equal opportunity fanatics, and they attack anyone, including other Jews, who break the laws that THEY consider sacred.

Not true. Most of the "Christians" who unconditionally support Israel are actually pseudo-Christians. Christian zionism is the fastest growing cult in America today. True Christianity considers Christian Zionism to be a heresy. The Jerusalem Declaration on Christian Zionism (August 22, 2006). rejects Christian Zionism, concluding that it is a "false teaching that corrupts the biblical message of love, justice and reconciliation."

there are also muslims like Hosni Mubarak who love Israel and christians like najwa karam who hates Israel. It doesn't always have to be about religion, personal interest or sympathy towards a particular case makes you lean toward one-side.

Do-mini It's silly to think or even believe these idiots represent anyone but themselves. Saying that, the answer to your question is simple God said I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you

as a christian, I love Jewish people and muslim people but I can't support a special country because it's not about supporting israel, I support the peace between israelies and arans in the Holy Land

One look at their clothing tells me that they aren't typical Israelis, to I have to challenge your claim there. Actually, it lets me know that there is a strong possibility they piss off OTHER ISRAELIS. And, they are still the minority. I rather not watch the entire video, since it's a faction of my faith that I wish I could excise, but don't ignore the Israeli woman and Israeli police officer in the background. Granted, the police officer is trying to resolve it peacefully, I think, but the woman does seem to get in his face at one point. Christians who support Israel look at TYPICAL ISRAELIS, and not the outliers. Yes, they are Israeli, but what they look for is the average Israel, or what you'd expect. And they are not that. Basically, you are falling for a trap. I don't know why they are acting so hostile. There is one instance where they were filmed in a separate video; but, that's because their norms were violated in their own neighborhood. Since that's not the case here, I dunno - but, don't assume much is what I can say, since it's likely you aren't seeing the entire scenario. As evidenced, I might add, by your generalization that this is a representation of all of Israel, which is far from the truth.

It's a trick video. These aren't "Christian tourist." They are bigots that said hateful things (like Hitler should have killed you), to those Jews to provoke them ... in order to record this. The guy who does most of these also shoots rotten anti-Christians videos. Notice how it starts AFTER the police were already called. It's youtube cut & past hack job that doesn't show the beginning of his interactions. All the Israelis say is "shame on you" and "go back to Jesus." That's what you call terrible temper? "Go back to" means, leave us alone and go do your own thing. Why do you take something on youtube as "truth." Or 1 video to represent a country?

Short and sweet

Christianity is the offspring of Judaism, and Christians know this. But for many centuries Christians were killing and persecuting Jews (compared to burning alive, exiles, mass murders and pogroms Christians practiced on Jews your youtube looks pathetic, and besides, as CAMERA proved , this video has been staged) because Christians could not stand that Jews gave them their religion and their God- but they themselves pray differently and believe differently. However, Christianity is much closer to Judaism than any other religion on Earth, including islam. Tha is why religious Christians support Jews. And that the people in the Christians countries, no matter if they are religious or not, start to support Jews - it´s because you and your islamic "friends" - immigrants from islamic countries - besides being rcommon bandits, rapists and terrorists, pose a threat to the national identity of the people in European countries.

Oh, how we poor arabs suffer

Why shouldnt they love israelis and jews? It makes perfect sense that they do, otherwise they would look very very foolish. Just imagine a christian who hates jews and is open and vocal about that hatred..... isnt he then saying he hates jesus? jesus was a jew, never stopped being a jew and never intended to start a new religion. So, i say to any christian who is tempted to hate jews, perhaps you should be muslim then your G-d wont be a jew. As for your video, its like candid camera... people are insulted and then filmed for their reaction... its staged so really not a good example. perhaps the fact that there has never been even one single christian suicide bomber might tell you something. perhaps the fact that the christian palestinians living inside of israel are the richest and highest educated people in the region, even more than israeli jews...... that is a fact... and its also a fact that they live under the exact same conditions as muslims and yet they are productive, peaceful, rational, non violent, make sure their kids are in school and not roaming the streets as ignoramus' thugs throwing stones. Interestingly enough there are also many christians who visit israel every year from all over the world who end up staying and living there.... some even convert to judaism..... if they are treated so badly they wouldnt do that either! i hope that one day, if you are a christian that you get a chance to visit and see for yourself.... who really treats the christians badly. you just need to look around the world right now to see the truth. eg. sudan, nigeria, thailand, parts of the phillipines, egypt etc. etc. any of those jewish countries.... oops oh no they are muslim for the most part.
