Christians: Do you side with Israel about the Palastinian conflict and why?

Beyond Palestinian tactics of killing innocents (which is horrible) why do you continually support Israel?

Update:

Not anti Israel by the way, just pro human, and wondering what motivates people to take sides in squabbles over Gods.

Update 2:

To me Palestinian children have just as much right to live in peace and with opportunity as Iraeli children and my own children, why not try to find resolve to religious conflict instead of supporting it?

Update 3:

I also tend to side with Israel, because of bus bombs and indescriminate rocket attacks, however, also know that the Palestinians are treated like animals and given little hope for life by the Israelites, so can't fully support them either.

    Because Israel is a peace loving country merely defending themselves from a people who continually rub elbows with terrorist groups that want nothing more then to see Israel completely destroyed . From my point of view the Palestinians have brought 100% of their trouble their experiencing on their own heads. I feel for them . But actions have consequences. God bless .

    Hitlers time in hell must be a little easier at the moment.

    Semite blowing up Semite children.

    All the Jews I know are beautiful, caring people.

    The only difficulty with them, is that they are such damn pracmatists, and big picture people. They avoid conflict, avoid wasting time and taking sides on arguments that are not going anywhere.

    I ask myself, is there any real Jews in Israel ?

    If there were real Jews in Israel, would they allow themselves to be used by America and Europe as the big stick to beat their Semite brothers?

    How did Israel end up with its very own walled Ghetto or concentration camp. Its such a reminder of what was done to Jews for centuries.

    If violent American and Russian Jews were not part of Israel, the country would have been at peace with its neighbours 50 years ago.

    I am sure the ruling classes of the Middle East fear Israel for not what it is, but what it could be.

    Israel the bright light of peace and humanity for every person, would be such a contrast to the corrupt shitty, small minded governing elite of the surrounding countries.

    Israel is needed by the Middle East Elite and western powers as a weapon of control.

    Israel was allowed to evolve in a manner that suited the controlling powers. As Kishinger said, "if Castro did not exist, we would have had to invent him".

    The same applies to Israel.

    Meanwhile 99.99% of people are saying thank God I am not a Jew or Palastinian.

    the priority isn't that Muslims think of that Israel is wide-unfold on a land it is there, Israel became into wide-unfold on a land it is theirs now that is a certainty that must be prevalent to all, to the Palestinians the Israelis are gut like somebody who've compelled his way into their domicile and he desperate to stay by using the superb of his muscle groups. of their minds they think of that they have the superb to take care of their domicile and take it back. on the different hand, Israel thinks that being there for the final 50 years (which isn't something in time) provides them the superb to take the land from the Palestinians and take care of their acceptable to exist after what Hitler has achieved to them and that they are doing it now to the Palestinians. the priority is that the two events are rugged and strong-headed that they are no longer welling to get to a compromise.

    Don't you understand. This is the real world. The Palestians who belong to Hamas are shooting Iranian made missiles into Israel. They are putting their citizens at risk. There is more than Hamas that Israel is dealing with. Iran is involved in this. They started this. Israel is protecting itself by taking out the Hamas sites. Hamas places themselves in civilian neighborhoods. Hamas are the terrorists. What kind of people would place missiles in civilian neighborhoods, Would the Israel millitary be justified to take the sites out or just set by and let Hamas shoot missiles everyday without any millitary action?

    I'm a christian and i don't side with any nation, because i don't see why we need to involve religion in political decisions. Only in that sense will i agree with your statement that religion is dangerous - if it is mixed with politics.

    In my view, we christians shouldn't be discussing things like that at all, and we should condemn any fighting in the name of religion.

    The fact that a lot of american christians are hard core zionists is a bit sad though.....look at things with a bit more open mind!

    I think the palestinians are being used by our mutual enemy (satan) to try and keep various prophecies concerning Israel/the Jewish people from coming to pass. I pray for them too, that they will figure out how they're being used, and I really think they will some day. I think millions of muslims are going to convert to Christianity, probably in our lifetimes. There are too many people prophecying it, and an obiously divine plan that's going to surprise everyone.

    I think that outsiders mischaracterize this as a squabble over gods. For israel, which is overwhelmingly secular, it's about their right to exist in security as a nation, not about god.

    Israeli soldiers are not fighting for 'god' (70% of Israeli jews are non-religious), they are fighting for the security of their families.

    Read the Bible--for God tells believers that we must support Israel and any people (nation) that does not will be destroyed.

    So, since you do not believe, my answer serves only believers.

    I recognize the state of Israel, but hold them to the same standard of justice I hold all other countries.

    I do tend to support Israel but do not think they are entirely right either.
