The Old Testament has so many holes in it, it would be useless for straining spuds. Or water melons for that matter.
Let's just imagine for a minute if the US stopped supporting Israel. Would it go bust and what would be the consequences?
Would it survive and what would be the consequences?
If it went bust a lot of it's Jewish citizens would move back to Europe or the US or back where they came from.
If it survived it would have a totally different standard of living and a lot of it's Jewish citizens would move back to Europe or the US or back where they came from.
The Jewish population of Palestine was small compared with today. It's success is based on those people moving there and the financial support they got.
That support has cost the world dearly. Is Israel worth the death of 1,000s of US, UK and other countries soldiers and civilians? Terrorist for the last 50 years have used Israel as a recruitment and money gathering tool. If the US changed it's stance and supported Muslims the problem would decline. Now it wouldn't be immediately, but in a while it would.
Are the occupants of all those coffins flying back to their home, worth Israel?
How many soldiers and civilians has Israel lost in the last 20 years?
How many soldiers and civilians have the countries fighting Muslims lost?
I support Jews rights to have a home in Palestine, but the cost in lives is too high today.
