How do American political "Christians" who "love" Israel handle the facts....?

that we have fine gay rights here (including common law marriage and adoption), universal health care (in fact a lot of what is in President Obama's plan seems to be modeled after ours) legal abortion, and other things that they oppose for the USA.

    It is called a cognitive dissonance.

    The conservatives like Israel for many reasons:

    - Kicking a-ss and taking names

    - European colony fending off the natives

    - Winners against odds

    - God said so

    - The military industrial complex interests

    - Anti-Islamic

    However, they ignore the inconvenient parts:

    - Socialism

    - Liberalism

    - Gay tolerance

    - No homeless population

    - Lenient penal system

    - Strict gun laws

    Israel is far away, so people just know what Fox News chooses to tell them.

    Also, they respect another country to conduct their business as they see fit.

    it is not going . Hezbollah isn't a resistance military from now on . they have lost the legitimacy they had while Israel replaced into occupying southern Lebanon . now they seem to be an prolonged arm for Iran and Syria disrupting the steadiness of Lebanon and the area . it incredibly is authentic nevertheless that the Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon would not recommend that Hezbollah must be dismantled , as a results of fact what is going to assure that the Israelis won't flow back and re-occupy southern Lebanon back ?. it incredibly is in trouble-free terms a loop . like who got here first ? the rooster or the egg ? Hezbollah is a huge concern , yet no one can do something approximately it now till a complete peace treaty is reached interior the area the place Hezbollah can strengthen to be a civilian enterprise . or be dealt with in any different case . yet i advice the Israelis of coming up peace as rapid as they are able to this twelve months till now Mr Bush is going out of workplace . making peace now's mandatory till now the nukes seep into the area and then it nicely be very puzzling to restoration something . purely make peace with all and sundry . and that i'm advantageous each and all the negative aspects would be subtle . Israelis ought to comprehend that they might desire to be a area of the area and not a foreign places physique in it . each thing could have a answer . possibly the concessions are painful as Mr Olmert reported , however the outcomes are super and brave steps are mandatory .

    I'm Jewish and a Republican ...Arizona type the Sexiest kind. You may be full of it while pandering to Border Black Panthers, but your train has just derailed at Apache Pass Arizona. Biblically speaking the Nation of Israel is a Spiritual existence, just like it's founder GOD (Jesus Christ). The current Physical Nation of Israel exists in order for GOD to complete his calling for a Country with Borders that would define the Holy Land for Modern Mankind. Just as the Garden of Eden fell away from GOD's Grace, so has the Country of Israel along with the rest of the World. You are taking apples and oranges and trying to make them into one fruit. Gay Homo Perversion, Government Health Control (Care) and Abortion (Murder/Euthanasia NAZI Yahoo Stasi) are just as anti Christian in America, China, Canada and Britain as they are in Israel. Pretty amazing that you would think that these societal weaknesses in morality and justice would make a better Israel. I left out Democratic Mexico, since Abortion and Guns are Illegal in Old Mexico. OLE'

    Israel does a lot of things America would not tolerate. For example, mosques aren't allowed to broadcast their daily prayers here, like they do in Israel.

    Have you read the Bible?

    Judaism fell away the day they shouted "Crucify Him!!" and began persecuting Christians condemning them to death.

    What's more, Israel's biblical history is one of falling away into immorality.
