I am not among those Christians who support Israel based on some interpretation of Scripture. Paul's writing clearly indicate that Christians are the true Israel, and the nation Israel has no special place any longer. However, that does not condone a final solution approach, either.

My apologies, thought you were a member of the anything for Israel club. Treaties... do we have any that require us to back another country that is fighting outside of their territorial boundaries? Keeping our word is important, almost as important as not giving it rashly, and so far, that is one of the things Obama has done well.
We need to tread lightly in the middle east, and blindly backing the war mongering and expansionism of Israel is anything but. Moving in conjunction with other countries and by consensus is the only way. Unless we want a target painted on our country by every terrorist that breathes.
