....However, I think he has missed the mark on U.S. Mideast policy and the will of the Republican voter. I do not see how God cares if the USA decides to leave Syria and hands the Kurd problem to someone else. Show me one verse that backs up such a notion. Is this about Israel? They don't need us,either

I stand with Israel. I just see no Biblical mandate for the USA to militarily defend Israel

They're the only nation in the Middle East that doesn't want to see us drown in the ocean and rot in hell. But why does that obligate us to defend them militarily

Genesis 12:1Now the LORD had said to Abram: Get out of your country, From your family And from your father's house, To a land that I will show you.2 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing.3 I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.We need to be on the blessing end of the proposition.That's why.

I'm not sure Paul would agree with your take on Gen 1:12. Being a non-aligned, non-interventionist nation does not constitute cursing or withholdingblessing from Israel.In Galatians, Paul said God's promise to Abraham was FULFILLED in Christ. Geopolitically, Israel makes a fine ally. Spiritually, God has not repented for what he did to them in 70 AD. They remain in unbelief. Jews are overrepresented in leftist, anti-Christian causes around the world. I see nothing Biblically where we are to regard them any less or any more than any other race of people. National Israel may or may not be a part of prophetic fulfillment. We shall see

I think our relationship with Israel is first and foremost a pragmatic one. They are a bulwark against invasion or global war in the middle-east. But beyond that I do think we have a Biblical mandate to support them. But that support can be limitted to trade in weapons and defense systems. I don't think we have to send troops there unless it is a last resort. Good post

Re: I am with sheepdog on this one.

You are insane. Our Founders believed in non-intervention. More and more Christians are seeing through Darby's error. Embracing non-alignment does not make one anti-Semitic

I think I am with you here. You said it well.I will say, If God ain't with that little country in some way, I would be very shocked! we are not the reason they have not been destroyed yet. Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
