Question

CHRISTIANS: Is Obama not wanting to protect Israel anymore bad news for America?

Answer 1

Obama is just bad news for America in general.

Answer 2

People should remember that any aid America sends to Israel has to be then spent ON American products and systems - 75% of the aid must be spent on this. No other nation that receives American aid has this string attached.



Israel is the only democracy in the entire region. The Palestinian Muslims seek to get rid of the only non Muslim country in the middle east - since both Israel and America fight Islamic terrorism, Americans should be fully behind Israel.



Obama would have Israel commit suicide, though. He's actually had the gall to refer to Jerusalem as a 'settlement'! He's fine with Israeli Arabs building new homes there - but woe betide any Israeli Jews that do it!



The minute Obama read out his love letter to Muslims, in Cairo, it was obvious that he would never, ever, help to support Israel's battle against Islamic terrorism. Obama would hand Israel over on a platter if he believed it would make him popular with the Muslim and Arab worlds. No doubt about this.

Answer 3

God made it very clear that He would bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel. Obama recently referred to the Jewish presence in Israel as the "Israeli occupation". What?

I personally feel the only thing that's keeping God from judging this country is our support of Israel and the Christians who are steadily praying for it. The legalized murder of innocent unborn babies, the acceptance of homosexuality, and now turning against Israel along with a slew of other sins will not go unpunished.



"FOR behold, in those days and at that time when I shall reverse the captivity and restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all nations and will bring them down into the Valley of Jehoshaphat, and there will I deal with and execute judgment upon them for their treatment of My people and of My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations and because they have divided My land." Joel 3:1-2



The UNITED STATES IS PRESSURING ISRAEL TO "DIVIDE THE LAND"! Judgment can't be too far off.

Answer 4

I don't know Megan. The bible says that God has declared whoever blesses Israel He will bless and whoever curses Israel He will curse. It will be interesting to see what happens to us if we remove our protection from His people.

Answer 5

End times.



There are a lot of theological issues we as Christians can dance on, but consider this one:



"They that bless Israel, I will bless, they that curse Israel, I will curse."



That one seems pretty straightforward to me. Black ink on white paper.



I believe the primary reason our nation has been blessed, is because of our Judeo-Christian heritage, and this has included the historical support of Israel.



What do I think? I think that a primary ingredient in our safety and security as a nation depends on our holding tight to that tiny country of Israel.



The day we turn her loose, we're toast.



But, we know these things have to happen for the end times. And believe me you, we are in them. The Anti-Christ has to enter the temple, the temple has to be rebuilt, so that means that that cursed 'Dome of the Rock' has to come down. And if you think muslims blew a gasket over cartoons, when the dome comes down and the temple goes up, I figure we are days if not hours away from Armageddon.



But I leave you with this: "We are not a people without hope, so sorrow not." :)

Answer 6

This is only the latest evidence of an entire nation turning away from God. It began in the late 19th Century with the U.S. Constitution. Many state constitutions were based on the bible, some going so far as to include mention of Jesus Christ in their text. Many said you could not hold office unless you were a professing Christian. The U.S. Constitution is totally secular.



By the late 20th century, the bible was being removed from the courtroom. All courts from the founding of America used the Holy Scriptures as the basis for all judgements. All law students were required to fully understand biblical law.



By the mid 20th Century the bible was gone from public schools and the decline of our Christian culture began to accelerate. It should be no surprise the Federal government is now abandoning Israel. Can the end be that far away?

Answer 7

Yes, I think so. All nations that have oppressed the Jews have fallen apart in the past, and all nations that have helped the Jews have been blessed. If you don't believe me, just look at your history books. I voted for Obama but I cannot support him on this issue, mainly because I am half Jewish.

Answer 8

There are absolutely no indications, verbal or otherwise, that under Obama as our POTUS that our US position on Israel will change or be changing in the foreseeable future. Your fears are baseless.

Answer 9

I thought he was protecting Israel and had roped in help from China and Russia, in a move that is dynamic and bold.

Answer 10

It's Israel's job to protect Israel. Allying with a country purely for religious reasons is not only poor foreign policy, it's down right retarded.

Answer 11

I think the way the religious right panders to Israel is kind of perplexing.



On the one hand, the vast majority of said religious right are Protestant Christians. They believe that you need to accept Jesus as Savior and Messiah to get into Heaven. Possibly among other things depending on what they believe.



But Israel's population are mostly Jewish and, to put it simply, don't believe in Jesus.



Why do they believe it is in the government's best interests to help Israel whenever they can?

Answer 12

1. Obama supports Israel.



2. No, it wouldn't be bad news.



3. Israel isn't God's chosen people anymore. They served God's purposes for a while, and they're just as important as any other ethnic group, but in Christian theology, Christians are (supposed to be) serving God's purposes now.



@Cabose: there are strategic reasons to ally with Israel, but they receive an unreasonable amount of aid and legal leeway in other ways.
