Stand for Israel

Deanna

It belongs to God's chosen people. I am a born again christian and Israel is a land that was given to my brothers and sisters. I love them, support them, also most importantly pray for their safety. I love the Prime Minister there and pray for him.

Glen

the Bible states that the Jews are God's chosen people. Jesus himself states that he came first for the Jews then for the gentiles. The Jewish people have suffered long and have been separated from their homeland. They have about 8,000 square miles of land where as the Muslim nations surrounding them have millions of square miles. It is horrible that they won't allow the Jews to have their land and live in peace.

Lim Lynn

I stand for Israel since GOD promise in the Bible to one day protect Israel in Ezekial 38-39. GOD never break promises. I hope Israel will continue to perservere and ignore the media & world bias towards them.

Quinline

Because in stand for my Lord and Saviour an everything he stands for i support because he is my Lord and Saviour.I'm his servant and slave for Christ who died for our sins.

mariela

The nation of Israel has been given the right to exist by ONE HIGHER than ourselves,to work the land,to prosper,to be a blessing to the rest of the world.It is my privilege to be a friend and a supporter.The spirit of the Lord is moving deep within my soul,so that you don't forget to be strong in the Lord and in HIS mighty power!

Alan

I stand for Israel because she is God's treasured possession (Ex 19:5) and she is chosen from all the earth as God's kingdom of priests and a holy nation (Ex 19:6)

Susan

There is one word to say why I stand for Isreal, GOD. I take Gods word (the bible) very seriously. It is the truth, his prophecies do come true and there is still prophecy to take place concerning the Jews of Isreal. They are Gods chosen, the Jewish people gave me (a christian) the old testament. The bible is my heart beat. Because God loves them, I love them. Because God blesses them, I bless them. Because God says Isreal belongs to them, I believe it. As a gentile, I recieved Gods grace through Jesus his son (a faithful jew), my redeemer. The jewish people had a part in the New Testament (The book of Romans), so I (a gentile) could be given that wonderful gift (Jesus) and have the promise of eternal life. God is still with the jewish people. God gave them a "covenant" and no one has a right to try and take the land that the "one true God", gave to the Jewish people (Isreal). I believe God will not let anyone take Isreal from them (the jews) ever again. Why? Because God said so (and he can't lie) in the New Testament and no one can stop prophecy from happening, praise be to God. May the Jewish people stand firm in your faith and trust in our God. Our God will deliver you from your enemies. He will bring you eternal peace one day. Hold fast, don't give up, pray for your redemption draws near. I look forward to that day. Amen

Ted

Israel isnt just a country. Its a place. Its a people. Its an idea. Its Gods center here on earth. Israel are Gods chosen. Iwill support Our Heavenly Fathers people and land no matter what.

George

I am an ordained Christian minister-prophet of the Sovereign Creator God, and I am committed to the highest standards of excellence to obey the Commandments of God in thought, word, and deed. God has said that those who love Israel He will love, and those who hate Israel he will hate. I am a born American citizen, and I am certain the United States of America became the most powerful nation in modern times as a direct result that she has always been a loyal brother and sister to Israel when others has forsaken her; I am confident that God has honored our loyalty to the nation of Israel and our commitment to Him to a nation who loves and gladly obeys Him. All Practicing Christian in American will not desert the nation of Israel, no matter the intents of our elected Muslim President Obama. In addition, I would strongly urge the nation Of Israel not to listen to Hillary Clinton, Obama, and other like minded concerning your national welfare; to allow Iran to build a weapon for mass destruction of your nation. It is very clear to all practicing Christians in America that the Obama Administration does not have Israel's best interest in mind, so you had better do what is best for yourselves and stop listening to individuals who are Muslims sympathizers. Please send me the Prime minister's mailing address that I may send him a copy of my first book and copies of position papers?

laurie

I stand for Israel because they are GOD'S chosen people. God says, "I will bless those who bless you and I will curse those who curse you." They brought the Word to us and I was saved because of what Jesus did for me on the cross!!!!!

david

because they are the true God's people, and because i love Israel and his people.

Margaret

Israel is chosen by God, to be His people.

Deb

Although I am a Christian and believe Jesus Christ to be the Messiah, I have many friends in my life that are Jewish, and I believe the Jewish people hold a special place with God from earth's beginning-present-and His future plans following earth's Tribulation period. "I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband". (Rev. 21:2). God Bless...

Jean

I stand with and for Israel,because they are the apple of God's eye,and they are his chosen people.He has a wonderful plan for them.I pray for his people and his Land.May GOD watch over them both. I love you in the Lord Jesus

Patricia

I'm a Christian but I have been standing with Israel all my life. In my neighborhood years ago. was Jewish/Blacks and Italians No aruguing or nothing. My mother took me to see the Pathe newsreels and the news during during WW2 at the movies, I cried at what I saw.Treblinka/ Dachau. (The Jewish lady in front of our house always called my newborn sister "Shangel Nasal" Pretty nose) Israel was always in the Old Testament. HE gave this land to Israel. I don't Judge Israel if they do wrong or right. God said he would take care of them.During that Oslo Accord we spent millions during the Clinton years. The Palestinians? You know the rest. Arrafat was given help and he didn't do Israel right. I could go on and on. It's like Damcoles sword over Israel. When I read Genesis about Hagar and Ishmael Genesis 16: 11-12, then I understand. Amen

Mary

The Jews are God's chosen; without Judaism, Christianity would not exist. Personally, I think the unparalled oppression of Jews stems from satanic jealousy. God has used the Jews to redeem the earth. Look at Israel: against odds, it is a thriiving democracy, surrounded

Sandra

I am a follower of Yeshua haMeshiach, himself a Jew. He loves you, and so do I. To love someone needs no explanation -- I just feel it. The great people in history that I admire were Jewish. Hashem has blessed you with so much talent. Many are jealous of you, but it only makes me love you more. I will always stand with Israel; not because of your leaders, but because of your people.

Michael

As a christian, I understand that ISRAEL is GOD's holy nation. It is not for man to decide its boarders.

Portia

I stand for Israel because I believe in Jesus Christ He is the Messiah, who came to earth to save me from eternal damnation. He is the Lion from the Tribe of Judah. I love the Jewish Nation, Israel.

catherine

Because they are God's chosen people and he told us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. His son died for all of us and He will be with us always. People have been trying for years to destroy Israel but because the Lord is faithful they will not ever.

Winnie

Simply - you are G D's chosen people. You have been brutalised down the ages because people do not read their bible. I do not agree with everything Israel does but that is of no consequence it is time for all to make their stand and wherever I stand I stand with Israel.

Mary

I am a born again christain I KNOW what the Holy BIBLE says about Israel and the Jewish people. Genesis 12:3 And I WILL BLESS THEM THAT BLESS THEE AND CURSE HIM THAT CURSETH THEE.....SO PLEASE ALL NATIONS HELP SUPPORT Israel.

mARY

I am a born again christain and know what God says in the Holy BIBLE concerning Israel and the Jewish people. Zechariah 2:8 says that if any nation harms Israel will be hurting "the apple of his eye" (God's eye) But nations and ,or individuals that support and help Israel will be blessed.

jennifer

Israel, why? For so many reasons, she stands for all of our redemption; she is representative of us all; she is representative of G-d's love for all of us. She is our identity. As Israel goes, so does the rest of us. As Israel is persecuted, so are we all; as she is blessed, so are we all blessed.

TRUDY

BECAUSE I LOVE THEM AS GOD LOVES THEM!!! THEY ARE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST JESUS! NEED I SAY MORE?? JESUS SAYS, *LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU!*

Todd

I stand for Israel because of Genesis 12 and because of my faith in Christ - himself the perfect Jew. Following on from Genesis 12, I stand because America's blessing and safety is tied to how it treats Israel (I'm an American).

Jeanne

Our God has spoken for Israel.... I pray for all of Israel in these prophetic days. I pray for her leaders to stand strong. I also pray that Israel understands and knows that most of Americans stand strong for her. Words spoken against Israel by our President does NOT reflect the majority of America! May Peace be in her future and always may God bless Israel~

Karen

I stand for Israel because, being a catholic, our dearest Pope John Paul said that You, the Jewish people, are our Big Brother. Our dear Lord is a Jew. Raised in the strictest Jewish faith and traditions. The Jewish people are very near and dear to my heart. I have good friends who practice the Jewish faith. Furthermore, your land, Israel was given to you by our God in the old testament of the Holy Bible. Moses led you to this promised land. Israel is YOUR land. You have taken a barren, desert land and made it into something that gives life to all your people. It is the work of the Jewish people that developed the holy land called Israel. Just as God said it was to be. There is no such thing as Palestine. They are but desert wanderers who seize upon the hard work and harvest of others. They are lazy and have no education as to better themselves. Please do not give any more land or opportunities to these people who call themselves Palestinians. I am on your side and will continue to pray for peace in Israel. Peace, my dear friends, will not come from concessions. Most of we Americans are absolutely not in agreement with the president of these great United States. Rather, most of us are against him. He does not share our values or morals. Do not let h im talk to you with his smooth persuasive oratory. He lies. He was the biggest mistake that the good people of the United States has ever voted into office. I did not vote for him. I saw him as he is. A traitor to the good people of the United States. As I pray for you, Dear Israel, please pray for us, America. God bless Israel and The United States of America.

Joseph

Israel is the chosen people of GOD. Her enemies always trying to distroy her from the very begining of her excistance and till today it continues. But GOD is always with her irrespective of her wrong doings. The present day enemies doesn't know the previous histories of the Israel and the enemies of Israel continues their foolishnes. From my very childhood I kept a softcorner to Israel and I will always stand with Israel. It is a promise.

Kathy

I stand for Israel simply because Jesus is my King. Israel is the Holy Land. The Jewish people are the apple of God's eye and Israel belongs to the Jewish people. God bless Israel!!!

Barbara

Because God told me! If there were no reason other than that it would be enough. Any person with a conscious and a sense of right and wrong can see that Israel is a target for the radical muslims. Obama doesn't care for the people of the USA let alone the Jewish nation right now. He surrounds himself with czars that are as radical and evil as Hitler was, I would not trust Him to come to Israel's aide at all. Please let Israel know that even if the US govt. is not thinking of them there are plenty of God fearing Christians who are, they will remain in my prayers and be a top priority in my budget as well.

michele

god our father in heaven gave israel to the jewish people. noone has any business interfering with the works of god because god our father will punish whoever hurts israel. i love gods work and pray that all the nations that hurt gods chosen land will reap what god has in store for them. leave israel alone it is god land and given by god to the israel people in jesus name i print this amen

Barbara

Because I am a Christian and the Jewish people are under attack by so many nations, just as the Bible said they would be. The Jews are God's chosen people. And He chose them for many reasons. I am amazed that the Jews have with stood so much persecution all this time. Barbara

Kathleen

When I was a child my father gave me a book about Anne Frank. My parents told us that the Jews were God's chosen people and we should respect them for this reason. I thank God that my parents instilled in me this truth. I read the Bible every day and completely believe God's teachings about the Jews. Israel belongs to the Jews. It is very clear in the Bible that God gave this land to the Jews. Jesus Christ whom I have accepted as my Lord and Savior was born a Jew. I pray always for peace to come to Israel. God's wonderful plan for Israel is about to be put in place. Be of good cheer. The Messiah is coming soon now. God bless Israel.

Hartmut

There are many reasons, but for me the most important is, that I love God and God's Word, which is the only absolute and eternal truth and nobody will ever be able to prove the contrary. If He has chosen a people I also love them, for this and many other reasons.

Donna

I stand for Israel is because I have been surronded by Gods people all my life and I love God and his son Jesus Christ with all my heart soul and mind,as a born again christian my love for God and his people grows deeper and I will stand and fight for God and his people cos they are like my family,when that Flortilla incident happened I got so angry I got an Israeli Flag and it flies in my yard for all to see and one day I will be in Israel with God and his chosen people

Anna

I love Israel, They are God's chosen people. Without them I would have never known about the Bible. I pray for the peace of Israel. I pray that America stands behind her.

Mr. Bshon C

I stand with Israel for all the biblical reasons given by so many other supporters.The emotional glue that runs through my thought's as i consider the Jewish situation has alot to do with the wars with all her neighbors and the unjust wars i viewed as a child in the sixty's & seventy's on up until today! Not to mention the movies of "Hitler's Solution"? As an Affican American i can't help but to identify with people who unjustly suffer & are up against great odds. My heart beats for God's protection for "The People" of THE BOOK! And the Apple of His (EYE) :+) God cast His shoe out over Israels enemies!!!

Jean

Israel is God's very own heart! Christ our saviour himself is a Jew! Holy scripture tells us God will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse her! That is enough for me! I will always pray for the peace and safety of Israel!

Verrie

I stand for Isra'el because Adonai has made it the center of this World and what happens here decides the fate of the whole world. Isra'el is the barometer for the state of the World. It shows us if we live in peace or hate. It show us if we can love each other inspite of religion, creed and colour. Most of all it says Adonai is still on the throne inspite of this world system which would destory the children of Elohim

Neshira

I stand for Israel because they are our sisters and brothers in Yeshua and because they are the apple of GODS eye and it commanded that we stand for them by GOD.

VICTORIA

I stand for Israel Because if there was no ISRAEL, there would not have been Christianity. I am a Christian because The Jewish Messiah came to give me Eternal Life. The Whole world may be against them, but I can not desert them at their time of need. Israel , be not afraid , I have read The BOOK , and you win. The only One you need to be a Winner is The Living God, and you have Him. Remain blessed.

Rev. C.Brian

I stand for, and with, Israel because my Saviour was born a Jew; and because the Jewish nation is still the chosen people of YHWH. The teaching of the apostle, Paul, in his letter to the early followers of Yeshua, in Rome, is also relevant.

Robert

I stand for Israel because as a Christian I do believe that the Jews are Gods chosen people and our 2 faiths are so closely rated! The lands that Israel occupy are there's by vertue of God giving it to them and by conflict of wars! They should not trade land for peace at all. There are many non-jews that would go to her aid if war broke out anytime! Many US War Vets! I being one of them!

Fiona

I stand for Israel because for one it is the land of my forefathers and there is an unexplainable love that I have for this land. In my own life I have suffered many persecutions and afflictions, yet I still stand for peace and for the unification of all our jewish people. As an exiled jew, the laws are still embedded in my heart. The words of God I live by and it is not an easy road, yet I am grateful that God has not forgotten us and has not utterly forsaken us. We will always be in His bosom and He in ours. I do not fear for what is to come because as long as we hold on to our hope fear nor death can take us away.

stephanie

Ever since I was a little girl, learning of the Holocaust, it has always haunted me. How can someone kill 6 million people because they were Jewish. My heart and Prayers go out to the Jewish people and Israel. I have always wanted to visit Israel ... Jesus's Holy Land and His People. I love the Jewish people and Jesus Christ. The Jewish people have been through enough. Israel is America's ally so as Americans we need to back them....God Bless!!

Vicki

I am a Christian and believe the Jews are God's chosen people. I believe it is the responsibility of all Christians to support Israel .

Scott

Because it is the RIGHT thing to do!

angela

Because they are God's chosen people. I love God....He saved my soul through His precious' Son's death and resurrection. I want to see God & Jesus one day. I want to live for Him now & do what is pleasing. I know America must support Israel..or God's wrath will unfold.

mitchel

The Good Lord Instructs to In The Holy Bible! I am just learning, though, The More We know, The More There Is To Learn! May God Continue To Bless Israel and The U.S.A and I Pray that this world repents before it is to late, Time Is Drawing Near! read Rev 1:3 May Holy YHWH Bless this web site and continue to educate us and give those Wisdom to spread their Wisdom Honestly and Biblically! Amen.

gary

I Stand for Israel because The Jews are still Gods chosen People. I am a Christian, and I tell folks, if you dont love the Jews, you can not Love Jesus, because he is a Jew. I for one have always wondered why so many people hate the Jews. I know it is because they dont Know God our Creator. Our Lord said, To Love Others As He Has Loved Us. I Love The Jews Because the Word Says, I will Bless Those Who Bless Israel.

Margaret

Israel is God's chosen people... and I would be mighty afraid not to stand for her. She is the apple of God's eye.

Millicent

The Bible commands us to pray for peace in Jerusalem. It also tells us that if we are willing and obedient we shall eat the good of the land - So I stand for Israel so be blessed as they are.

CRAIG

I was raised to and it is scriptural to do so. Jesus was jewish so I stand with the jewish nation. Eternal blessings to the seed of Abraham.

Yohanna

because G-d does. Y--H, the Creator of the universe and all in it, has chosen to bless Abraham, Isaac and Jacob's faithfulness with a nation and a people forever. This nation He has called His people and the land He has called His land. As a believer in the Creator I stand by the His people and His land.

Linda

I am a Born Again, Holy Spirit filled Christian and I have given my life to Jesus Christ of Nazareth . He loved Israel so much and I do, too.

Steve

I stand for Israel for Biblical and religious beliefs and values that I as a Christian share with my Hebrew brothers and sisters. God told us in the old Testament "I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you." Genesis I stand for Israel because she is the only ally and Democracy in the Middle East. Israel guards and protects the Holy Land and yet allows Christians, and Muslims-many of whom vow to kill jews and push Isreal into the sea. Yet, liberal trash from Europe and US call Israel intolerant! Israel won the 6 day War in 1968, won Yom Kippur in 1973, and has been in constant hostilities of varying degrees since 1948, when Israel once again became a Nation following 2,000 years of Exile, Holocaust, etc. Yet Israel still permits the Muslims to have their Dome of the Rock Mosque on top of The most holy of Holy Jewish and Christian locations in the world. These are just some of my reasons for Standing with and beside Israel, and for fighting for Israel if she needs me. Shalom! "WE will never forget" God Bless Israel.

cheryl

I support Israel because they are God's chosen people. Jesus was a jew he died for sin & he's coming back to claim his people & reign over the earth. They will soon realize their messiah has already come & accept him

Marilyn

I stand for Israel because they are God's chosen people. I think that it is important for Christians to support them.

Phil

Looking at Israel, I see the David and Goliath story played out over and over. I wish I could put an end to her persecution. May God grant peace to Israel soon.

bernard

i stand with israel because they have been the chosen place for all mankind. they have been thru more then any other nation on earth. they live in constant attacts on their people everyday. i pray for them to live in peace and to be safe as they should have that right has a country. god bless all

Leo

Because it's God's people. Im a christian and our salvation comes through Israel. There is only one God, this is the God of Israel. I'm a advocate. Every christian is obliged to defend Israel faith and rights, though our differences. I consider myself an israeli by faith.

Phyllis

I am a Christian, and the roots of my Savior, my messiah, Yeshua of Nazareth, are Hebrew. As an "adopted' daughter of Adonai, I too am now considered by God as Israeli...so I stand for Israel; those that bless her will be blessed, those that curse her and oppose her will come to an end by the hand of Adonai.

robert

I stand for Israel because in the word of God they are God's chosen people, and i, we are to love them, and pray for the peace of Jeruselem. God said He would Bless those that bless Israel and curse those that curse them. So as a christian me and my family choose to pray and stand for and with Israel. God bless Israel, God's chosen. Amen

Msgt Steven

Because God told me it the right thing to do to Pray for peace or take up my arms an fight for Israel.

Eric

I support Israel because my lord and savior Jesus Christ commanded us to. The Jews are GOD'S people and Jerusalem is where Jesus is going to reign from in the new millenium. I pray for peace and safety for Israel.

Brenda

Blessings to Israel, Gods' promises are not just true, they are being fulfilled now, what a wonderful and glorious day for the child of God. Rejoice "O" Israel and Gentile, our redemption draweth nigh. What a wonderful feeling to me to be able to stand for Israel. "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:" Philippians 1:6. From AMERICA Brenda

brenda

I stand up for Israel because I am a born again Christian. I support every month to the fellowship I pray for Israel and the work of the Rabbi. Gods' word tells us I will bless those who bless Israel and I will curse those who curse Israel. It is an honor for me to do this. I would not know Christ if it was not for Israel and the word of God. Bless you for all your work. I just found out about the Zion oil and Gas Company that will help Israel not to depend on oil from others. God is truley working in these last days. God Bless the Whole House of Israel. From AMERICA Brenda

Dr Ed

I love the nation of Israel as they are G-d's chosen people! Arabs and muslims are not righteous people!

Dollie

It is comanded in the Bible. But that is not the only reason I stand with them. I give honor where honor is due. if it was not for Abraham (a Jewish man) we would not have the roots of our faith now. When God was calling out for someone to follow him and be faithful to him, only Abram heard him. And through him came our Lord Jesus whom paid the ultimate price and now we are saved. How can we not be grateful for this people who the Lord has a covenant with!! I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you(period)

celiz

i support Israel because they are God's chosen people according to the Holy Book.if you really believe in God you will not hate nor persecute Israel but should stand with her and bless her and should pray for the peace of Israel for-ever.They have the right to exist as a nation or a people and to defend themselves from any threat of enemy.Peace and victory be with Israel.God Bless Israel

Amy

My first reason for supporting Israel is because God supports Israel. Second, I don't think it is fair for Israel to be attacked and then be expcted to just sit there & do nothing. I really wished the world community would wake up.It would be wise if they read Ezekiel 25:6-7 & chapters 38 & 39. Israel is in my thoughts & prayers.I wish you the best.

Davlyn

Because my God tells me to do so. I read my bible and the Word guides my path .

Dr Bob

As a Christian, admittedly, I have not always defended Israel and the Jewish people. At various times I have even looked upon Jewish people as simply demanding, rude and arrogant. Forgive me for I have changed. I now am a staunch defender of Israel and of Jewish people everywhere. First, I must say that because I have re-dedicated my life to God and to my Christian beliefs, it is without question that I am a stauch defender of God's chosen people because He wants me to. This alone would be enough, but there is more.......much more. I have been aware of the daily assault on the Great State of Israel and it's magnificent people by those not only immediately surrounding it's borders, but by those countries and citizens who shamefully want to believe that the nations of Islam simply wish to live together in peace. This is not so, as everyone in Israel knows better, and it is not only Islam that hates Israel and it's people but the atheistic countries as well call for the defeat of the one Shining Star in the Middle East. Israel will defend itself.....always....and alone if need be. I greatly admire your Strength. This has been and is obvious, but America has a moral, religious, financial, and historical obligation to defend Israel against ALL enemies within and without. We are each other. God has blessed the United States of America and I am a firm believer that He has also created America to be the ultimate defender of His chosen people on earth, because He knew that Israel will face a never ending barrage of assaults and ultimately those enemies will grow stronger. Our history is intertwined for all time and because of that and because it is right, I will now and forever defend Israel. And there are many many many more like me.

Pastor Gil

Since my days with the US 6th fleet, I have witnessed nations rise against Israel. Jesus Christ my King is the Messiah of Israel; to deny Israel is to deny Jesus Christ Himself.

Norman

Jesus was Jewish. He saved us. It's only right and practical that we should support his people.

Josh

Because I stand for liberty and the nation state. I stand for freedom and democracy against totalitarianism and theocracy. I support the Jewish people in their struggle against the Islamist monsters who seek to blow Israel of the face of the earth and 'drive the Jews into the sea.' I stand for Israel because I am tired of the useful idiots of Hamas claiming a moral highground despite implicity supporting the launch of 30,000 rockets against a sovereign people. I will fight alongside the Jewish people personally if open warfare is declared against the people of Israel. I will journey from England to Jerusalem to fight alongside the people of Israel

Nancy

I stand for Israel because we serve the same God. I believe this God and only true God has choosen the Jewish people as His. I am ashamed of our governement for not supporting Israel as they defend themselves although God has predicted all will abandon her except Him. The peace of Israel is in my prayers. Stand Firm Israel - Jehovah will rescue you.

roxanna

Israel is my spiritual homeland.If God loves her, so do I!

Mike

Because this is the true land of the Jewish people, God gave it to them and it will never be taken from them. I have always supported Israel and the Jewish people and I always will. May God bless them and all who stand with them.

Phil

I am a born again Christian and I believe srael has been given to the Jews by God. The enemies of Israel may make you feel isolated but know that there are many of us who support you. Everyone I know in chuch, work, and friends are pro Israel. We can discern the truth from lies. Don't worry about all the knuckleheads, God is for you so who can be against you!

Marianne

I love God with all my heart and being and will therefore shout out on the rooftops Yes I stand for Israel. Where would this gentile be without the promises of God that were born of her? To embrace God as my Father and Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and not embrace His chosen people is impossible. I stand in awe of all He has done for her and pity those who see Israel as nothing more than a small nation that has only been in existence since 1948. God singled out Abraham thousands of years ago and to me the convent God made with him that day was the true birth of nation I have come to love. We serve the one true God who is and was and is to come. He saw back then what a mighty nation she would become and that one day all nations would bow down to her. God’s chosen people have endured tragedy and persecution the likes that none have seen but they are still here. Scattered to the four corners of the earth He is now bringing His people home – His prophesies are being fulfilled everyday and all of them are focused on His people and the land He gave to them as their inheritance. Stand strong Israel – I AM promised to never leave nor forsake you and of this you can be sure - He is always faithful and never breaks His promises.

Ceri

I stand for Israel because I believe that Israeli's and the Jewish people are God's choosen people. Israel was given to the Jewish people and no one has a right to give it away. No one has the right to make Israel give away land just to appease terrorist. Israel Forever!!!!!!

Debra

You're God's chosen people and relatives of Christ Jesus, my Lord! I Love You All!!

Jane

I stand with Israel because you are (God-our Fathers) FAVORITE son, favorite child. I marvel at God's love for you Israel, You have the blessings and rights of the firstborn. As long as Israel remains on the earth, us gentiles have a chance that everything will be OK for humanity, without Israel God might destroy the universe with everyone in it!!! Jesus has a secret He wants to share with Israel....I know what the secret is!!! We do need each other ,Israel and the U.S. more now than ever before...the rest of the world is going crazy!!!!!!

Joel

There are many facts on the ground to cite that support Israel's right to exist. But in the interest of brevity, I will mention just one which, in the clarity of its logic, says it all. Remember that the United Nations approved two states, the establishment of Israel AND a sovereign state for the Arabs of Palestine. Who in their right mind really believes that, had the Arabs accepted their state at that time, that Israel and its five million citizens would not have been content to live within its prescribed borders all these years later, rather than take on the whole of the Muslim world? Do they not remember that the battle that still rages on was commenced then by the Arabs? A war of attrition in which their successful PR campaign has finally borne fruit in a thinly disguised new form of antisemitism called "justice for the Palestinians".

Robert

While in High School, during World War 2, I remember a wise and elderly man telling us that the war was not the Great Tribulation as many supposed. He said that Israel must become a nation first. The following year in 1948 that came to pass . How wonderful, as I have witnessed the development of world conditions and the hatred shown to ths precious people. It won't be too long before God WILL intervene in this world's affairs. God has shown us mercy, that they also will soon be shown mercy! Hallelujah!

Amanda

Because its God's land; God told all of us to stand for Israel, and he will stand for us. We need to obey God's words, not to back down. Its the promised land; it belongs to God's people. To stand for Israel is to show love for God and his people.

Manuel

For millennia God has spoken in many different ways and I still don´t understand why people fight against His will that Israel belongs to his chosen ones. I see no sense whatsoever to fight against the almighty, the eternal One who, one way or another will fufill His promises. The God of Israel is the only God worthy to be served and obeyed, and since He has promised to bless those who bless Israel and pray for Jerusalem, His Holy City-Why go against these eternal truths?

I'm proud to be a Christian and I will always stand by Israel. Though I may not be Jewish, I know that the Jewish people are God's chosen and I will always do my best to love and protect them just as I know my Lord will always love and protect me. Stay strong in these tough times Israel, our Lord will keep His promise with Abraham ! May God bless all of you.

Jeff

Although they are a people set apart unto God, they are our brothers and sisters through Christ. We have been blessed in the past because we have supported them, but I'm afraid our nation is heading in the wrong direction. God will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse them.

Keith

Your own words have said it all. "The Jewish state does continue to suffer unfair criticism for her efforts to defend herself and anti-Semitism is on the rise worldwide. I wish to personally "reassure Israel and Jewish people everywhere that their friends will stand with them through their difficulties and challenges".

David

I stand for Israel for the strength the Jewish people have shown through many hardships. The teachings of my Father to always support and honor Israel will be with me and my children as I teach them the same. The expansion of Israel is fully supported by me and my family and I want Israel to know that. We pray for you each and every day. Shalom

Jan

I feel indebted to Israel for the following reasons: God gave the world Israel. Without Israel, I probably would not know God, or the Messiah, or know about the patriarchs and the prophets. Israel developed, and shaped my soul. From a historical perspective and for what God has done through Israel, I cannot by conscience, stand by to see further suffering inflicted upon this precious nation and its people, through the iniquities of other nations and their peoples.

Gerry

I stand for Israel because just as every man, woman or child has the right to life, any group of people has the right to live in the land that is rightfully theirs -- a land they tilled and made prosper out of their own blood, sweat and tears. A land that was a birthright and and owned by their ancestors even before it was taken from them. A land that God Himself promised was theirs. I will stand for Israel and its people because no one has ever been persecuted and violated as they have been for offenses they never committed. And because the world refuses to acknowledge the atrocities commited against them, I and the rest of my family will stand for them. We will be there friend.

Jude

Since my childhood, when the Arabs attacked Israel in 1967, something has told me that Israelis are the people of God. Since that time, l always pray to God to help the nation and its people. As l grew up to become a man of my own with my lean income l have been supporting Israel financially through this fellowship and by buying their publications. Israel is a peaceful, loving nation. l call all Christians and non-Christians alike to support this nation as they fight for their survival. l pray that the good Lord will continue to protect and fight for his own people, Israel.

When I was a little boy, my Christian parents told me of the Holocaust. Shortly afterwards, I saw the movie "The Diary of Ann Frank." I did not cry in front of anyone, but used the privacy of my bedroom that night to cry for a little Jewish girl I would never meet. My father died on my 8th birthday. Our Jewish grocer, Mr. Krapin, a WWII vet, brought BOXES, not bags, but BOXES of groceries to my bereaved mother. He never asked for a dime. That introduced me to the Jewish community. I fell in love with a Jewish girl at age 20. She died the next year, breaking my heart. Why else do I stand for Israel? They are God's chosen people. Besides, my Savior, Jesus Christ, was a Jew. There is not enough room in this correspondence to list all of the Jews who have made a positive experience in my life. We could start with Abraham, go to David, Matthew, Mark, etc. all the way to Mr. Krapin. All I know is that Jews are a joy to God and and a joy to me. The Land of Milk and Honey will never be destroyed; that is one thing that I know. And, I will always be there for God's People. Shalom.

Constantine

I came to realize many things in my life the past few years and also started to see things in a more clear light. We are living in a very fast-paced changing world, and now, more than ever, we need to be together. We are lucky to have Israel with us in this struggle. Israel has become a nation of advanced technologies in many sectors. Its amazing to read and hear about these achievements. I would love to become more involved somehow. I'm not exactly sure where I would fit in, but I do know that I can be helpful in many ways. Israel now more than ever needs all the help she can get. All we need to do is look all around us to see who is staring at us and who is wishing for our destruction and demise.

Elizabeth

I will always stand for Israel. They are God's people, and the apple of his eye. I think every one should stand and bless this precious nation of God, for we should appreciate God's image. I am so proud there is still a nation like Israel ... Thank God for Israel. Thank you Rabbi for speaking and standing up for God's people.

Catherine

I stand for Israel because the Jewish people are God's chosen people. Israel was given to the Jews by God and no one should try to take their land away from them.

Nancy

As a born again Christian I believe the whole Bible to be the Word of God literally. As an American I find it difficult to tolerate any prejudice. My mother had many Jewish friends and never once spoke an unkind word about them. She taught us to respect and honor the Jewish people as God's chosen vessels. The Bible teaches the same.

Roger

It's "a G-d thing." I grew up a Lutheran; "Sola Scriptura" - scripture alone - was drilled into me as Luther's battle cry against the Catholic Church's doctrines. (It became mine against the Lutheran Church's.) When faced with the teaching of Replacement Theology as a young adult, The Almighty's eternal covenants (Abraham, Sinai) repeated often in Torah and by the prophets were where I made MY stand. The deed states Israel's ultimate claim on the territory from the great river in Egypt to the Euphrates. During the Second Lebanon War, my heart was with the Israeli people; I wanted to be there with them, making a stand with them. I cried to the Almighty, asking why I felt this so intensely. Two months later I discovered a fact lost generations before: my mother's maiden name - from my grandfather, the Lutheran school teacher - translates from Hebrew: "My King." Apparently, there is truth to the old saying that blood is thicker than water - that there truly is something (literally) inside of me crying out for that tiny nation and her people. I honestly never see myself forsaking Israel; my destiny is tied to hers.

Mahaindra

There simply is no other choice for we who have been grafted into the covenant blessings God made with Abraham. We are commanded to do so from the Bible: "I will bless those who bless you." As a Christian - from the islands of the seas (Trinidad), I know that God will perform His word to the very minute detail, and it will serve us well to be obedient to the word of the Living God. Even though the international foreign press generally paint a negative picture of Israel the nation, its people and what values they stand for, we Christians need to examine everything in the light of God's word, His promises and His purpose. Shalom.

Lacey

I grew up with a stepdad who hated Jews and black people. Then I had two wonderful teachers in grade school, a Jewish woman and a black man. My stepdad found out who they were and took me out of the class. His efforts to make me hate these people only made me see how evil prejudice can be. Then when I became a Christian and started reading the Bible, My love for Jews grew even more. As God said; I will bless those who bless them, and curse those who curse them. I find myself repeating this scripture a lot, as there are so many people that are ignorant to the word of God. But, as the Bible says the truth will set you free. I have witnessed people change their attitudes.

Cheryll

Basically, Jesus was a Jew and I owe my salvation and faith to the Jews. I pray every day for the peace of Jerusalem and that God will remember His promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and that, for His name's sake, He will bless His people Israel.

Diana

I feel a great need to stand for Israel now because of the growing danger and hatred for Jewish people all over the world. I believe the God of the Bible when He says "I will bless those that bless you and curse those that curse you". As Americans, God has truly blessed our country and I think we as a nation need to stand beside Israel now more than ever.

Deanie

I stand proudly for Israel first and foremost because they are God's chosen people. He will protect them as He promised, and He has warned that those who stand against them will not be blessed. I also am a descendant of a Jewish woman, who was my great-great grandmother, which gives me an extra love for the people. Israel has been persecuted for so long, but God will defend them! I am standing in that corner, and NEVER will I move from that spot! Shame on those who are anything less than respectful and caring of this highly-favored country and people. God will prevail and will bring His people together. He promises that victory, and the nations that have turned against them will be destroyed. God bless Israel!

Helena

I stand for Israel because God is faithful to her. Israel is so unique because of God's covenant with her. Even though she is a small nation, she stands apart in excellence. She is world renowned for technological inventions and advances and her military. Her organized response to the needs in Haiti bring glory to God. I admire Israel very much and am grateful to be connected through the Holy One, Jesus Christ. May the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob magnify His blessings upon all of Israel!

Raul

As a Christian I believe it is my duty to stand for and by Israel at all costs. I love all the people in the world but, God has chosen you, oh Israel, and that is enough for me to be loyal to you. I thank God for your existence . God bless Israel! By the way, I'm an American soldier who has fought in Iraq and is here in Afghanistan ... I will always pray and stand with Israel!

Nancy

Israel is not just a land, it is the covenant people of God. He made a covenant with Abraham that the land he was on would be theirs forever, and "forever" has not come to an end yet. Jacob and Moses were also given this promise by God Himself. The world needs to read this book, called the Bible -- the greatest book ever.

Jane

My love for Israel began with a Jewish childhood friend. She and I were born on the same day, same year, within the same hour. As I matured, I learned about the Jewish origin of my Catholicism. I watched the birth of modern Israel and admired the hard work and pluck of those new Israelis. Last year I had the great good fortune to visit Israel and it was one of the great emotional experiences of my life. Politically, Israel is not only the sole democratic middle eastern country, but she shines as a beacon to the world for human accomplishment. May she stand strong. Long live Israel!

Joy

Back in 1954, when I was 15, I saw a gold Star of David in a jewelry store and I was so drawn to it I had to have it, it was beautiful. I was not a Christian then and didn't even know what it was but I bought it. The jeweler asked me "are you Jewish?" I told him no I just had to have that necklace. Then in the 1970's I read all of the novels by Leon Uris about WWII and the Israeli people and their struggle for their country. It just moved me, my heart ached for their struggles. I've felt a kinship with them from that time on. As a Christian I feel such empathy for what they go through from day to day ... We as Christians owe everything to the Jewish nation. They are our brothers and sisters. They gave us Jesus our Saviour, the prophets, the Bible. All of the New Testament leaders were Jewish. Without the Jewish Nation there wouldn't be Christianity. It's our duty, as brothers and sisters worshiping the same God, to defend Israel and the Israeli people. God blessed America because of Israel according to Genesis 12:3. If we believe the Bible then we keep His word.

Bruce

As a evangelical pastor I preach a message at least once a year that it is the responsibility for Christians to stand with Israel. I inform my church and everyone that I speak to of the fact that the need to stand for Israel is found in the Scriptures, according to Genesis 12:3 and other passages. As Christians we owe a great debt of eternal gratitude to the Jewish people -- from the Holy Scriptures to many of the modern techologies that we enjoy. I will always stand with Israel and her people.

Carolyn

I stand for Israel because the Bible teaches that these are God's chosen people, and further that God will bless those who bless Israel, and will curse those who curse Israel. That is all I need to take a stand for the people and land of Israel. However, if more is needed, I guess I would say that I have a soft spot for those who are bullied by others. Israel is a tiny nation which has been persecuted by most of the world for most of world history. The people have a right to protect themselves against the persecution and threats of being wiped out. Much of the news media seems to be biased and not reporting the truth of what is going on, and some of us are smart enough to see that. I would love to be able to give some encouragement to the Jewish people during these most difficult times, and remind them that He who keeps Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps.

Susan

I support Israel because anti-Semitism is on the rise worldwide, and Israel is one of the few safe havens for Jews. I'm a frequent visitor to Israel and always feel at home there because I am treated with warmth and respect. I was very proud when Israel flew half way around the world to set up a medical tent, fully equipped with surgeons and modern medical technology, to aid the Haitian people. This act shows the true heart of the Israeli people.

Alta

I stand for Israel becuse Israel is God's chosen, beloved people. My father helped liberate the captives of Bergen-Belsen, and I have never forgotten the impact of him telling me about that. I want to do everything I can for the people that have given me my Jesus. Mostly, I love my Jewish friends and family and want them to know I care. God's promises to his people are forever!

Lisa

I stand for Israel because I believe that they have a right to exist as an independent nation. I don't think that anyone has a right to interfere with that, because the Bible said it would happen, and it did. I think that people should be supportive of Israel and the Jewish people. God commanded us as Christians to bless the nation of Israel and the Jewish people, and I think every Christian should do it as an act of worship and obedience to God. Christianity would not exist without our beloved Jewish brothers and sisters.

Lamar

I support Israel because I want and need God's blessings on my life and my family, especially during this time of financial uncertainty, and America's seemingly faulty support of that beautiful nation and people. If we are to survive as a nation, it is imperative as a "Christian" nation that we give as much support as we are blessed to give to the nation of Israel! God bless you Rabbi, and continue your passionate and unabated service and ministry!

Lee

My story is really a witness to the Bible as a whole. The Old Testament is a covenant to the Jews. It is a promise from the Living God through the faith of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that Israel is the chosen nation through which He will be glorified. I believe the New Testament grafts the Church into that covenant, by faith, through the sacrifice and resurrection of our Lord and savior, son of God and Abraham, Jesus Christ. God will be glorified and his glorification will come through the shared faith of the people of His covenant. God keeps His promises. He remains faithful, so in return, I pray that I may remain faithful to Him and to His people.

Deborah

The Bible commands us to pray daily for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6), to speak out for Zion's sake (Isaiah 62:1), to be watchmen on the walls of Jerusalem (Isaiah 62:6) and to bless the Jewish people. As Christians we have a Biblical obligation to defend Israel and the Jewish people in their time of need. I do have a heart for Israel, in fact, just recently I found out that my Great- Grandmother was Jewish! I can't tell you how excited I was to find this out. I would love to live and work in Israel, a desire I know the Lord has laid on my heart and in my soul, but until the Lord should open that door, I consider it an honor to be a part of and contribute to the IFCJ!

Ira

Biblically, he who blesses Israel will be blessed and he who curses Israel will be cursed. As our family has blessed Israel, we have received blessings. God keeps His Word.
