I'm tired of spending my tax dollars on an old British mandate that they cleaved off after WW2 from their dieing empire.

How about we pull support and let the Brit's deal with their problem, that they caused.

Also since the Cold War is long over I don't view Israel as having the same strategic importance as it once did. More so these days since half our army is in the sandbox.

The money spent going to Israel would be much better spent on Africa and Southeast Asia.

Problem is Israel has big balls now because they have essentially our unlimited backing and Egypt is a mess and not a serious threat at the moment. Looking at it from a power brokers standpoint they could stand being cut off at the knees a bit so they are forced to play nice with their neighbors.

Michele Bachmann doesn't like him.

Does that even things out?

While I may disagree with his platform, I still enjoy his wife's fishsticks.

Would you bet your life on that statement? I would bet my eternal soul on my statements. I know a sure bet when I see one.

I don't bet my life on anything, esp. not this kind of nonsense. But you can ask me if I know so and I will answer you 'Yes'.

You're funny, Dude. Actually, among many nicknames I have been called "Oklahoma". But in this case, No.
Different angles of views allow for different perspectives of visions.
The classification of this subject is apparent, it doesn't matter which way you look at it.
Without a doubt, your view is certainly the boldest, for the plain reason of being the most fictional and least supportable of all.

What about the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Hindus and all the aboriginal folks all over the world who have believed in various gods long before the Christians came along?

I agree with the OP on the idea that not supporting Isreal is probably not good politically....but not for biblical reasons.

I thought that was more like comparing American Football to what the rest of the world calls Football.

The truth is that RP really does support Isreal. He supports giving them their sovereignty by their not being a puppet of US foreign policy. He also does not support the US policy of supporting dictators that become enemies of Israel. He was one of the very few who supported Israel's decision in 1981 to bomb Iraq's nuclear facilities.
