Yeah, let's go back the the disaster of the past half century. You need to unplug your internet.
It is non of our business. Let Isreal fight their own fight. Oh, did I mention that it is a serious violation of International Law? Yeah, son, let's just go take over the Palestinian land and send them elsewhere where no one wants them. Eff Isreal and Bibi.
Eff Israel? The chosen people of Jesus Christ. Are you truly that stupid? Or evil?
Lets be honest there is a whole debate around if the Biblical Israel is the same as the modern day nation State of Israel created in 1948
The idea that there is one to one relation is a very Dispensationalist Christian idea of the 20th Century.
Certainly no 100% Christian consensus on the matter.
[Just as many people equate "Palestinian" with "Muslim," so many people equate "Israeli" with "Jewish." Both equations are false. As for the "Palestinian = Muslim" equation, there is in fact a small but significant
Palestinian Christian community. And as for the "Israeli = Jewish" equation, the
ethnic and
religious demographics of Israel are much more complex than this. Around 20% of Israelis are Arab, most of those practicing Muslims, and over 40% of Jewish Israelis identify themselves as "secular Jews" Jews by ethnicity only, not by religion.
It was ancient Israel, a theocratic, tribalistic society that became a monarchy, that God brought into covenant with himself through Moses. The
modern nation of Israel strives to be a liberal democracy, but that in itself means it is not the equivalent of ancient Israel]
