Either the Jewish people are G-d's chosen people (it's not about us, it's about Him), or it is all a fiction.


It is a 50/50 bet (either it's true or it's bullshit).

The whole world needs to decide where to push all their chips in and let the spinning wheel ride or take their chips and walk away.

One places their bet, or takes their chips and walks away.

Choose wisely.

Because the wheel is spinning up and the croupier is dropping the ball...

Bet.

I would not bet against G-d or the people of the Covenant in the long run. G-d is playing with house money, and it has not worked out well throughout history for those civilizations who decide to forsake Him.

"This current path leads inexorably to the collapse of western civilization in favor of the Islamists and Marxists who have joined forces against us."

Now that is a bit much. This is just one more speed bump that has to be overcome. The evil side will never let up, one must always be on guard for what they are going to do next.

I have been largely absent for the past weeks as my mother is slowly dying. I just wanted to respond to this post with a declaration that I placed my bet decades ago on God and His covenant people. I have been loyal to that ever since.

Easy to say while it cost me nothing, I know. But things are changing exponentially. My allegiances have begun to cost albeit relatively little. But I have a sense that Israel is being increasingly isolated while under a threat crescendo.

My double down is that though I’m old-ish, if Israel makes an SOS call for her defense, I’ll go and do what I can. My kids are grown. Mrs DF and the cat won’t miss me much. I’ll gladly serve God if called. That’s my bet.

I think that you can hold a Christian position and a position that Israel has a right to exist/self-defense. We should not work to exclude strident supporters of the Jewish state, who also might be Christians, agnostics, or atheists, etc.

^^^To whom and/or what are you responding to? At the very least, Christians would/should believe in ALL fundamental/inalienable rights for ALL; that anyone (individual, country, religion) has the right to the free exercise their beliefs/religion, and the right to live in peace, as well as the obvious right to exist/self-defense. These rights are irrevocable unless their exercise would infringe on the rights of others to the same! It is fundamentally Christian to have such positions. Is there any legitimate question as to whether one could hold a Christian position AND defend Israel's right to exist/self-defense, and if so, by whom? Are WE 'working to exclude strident supporters of the Jewish state, and if so, please define 'we'?

I believe one can't call themselves "Christian" if they don't fully support Israel and the Jewish people.

The Jews are God's chosen people. I stand behind Israel as an American, but more importantly, as a Christian.

I hope they throw the book at this scumbag:

Anti-Israel protester who told ‘Zionists’ to ID themselves on NYC subway arrested, revealed to be research tech Anas Saleh

At least deport him back to whatever Middle Eastern armpit he came from.

You're expecting a lot from humanity. Like A LOT.
You are probably going to come up disappointed, my friend.

Me? I'm with you. As are probably 99.9% of the members here.
But as for a lot of other people, and I'm talking a boat load, probably don't care. Just as long as the protest doesn't get between them and the Starbucks.

Ignorance and Apathy are a huge problem.

VERY WELL SAID.

Despite the hoodie and the big D after his name, the right choice was made here to support Isreal.

From the article:
“It will now be the responsibility of the district attorney to ensure that this antisemite is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law ..."

Who's the district attorney, Allen Bragg? Don't expect much.

And he is catching HELL from the Left on all of this, it's crazy to watch it all unfold. I'm on a Pennsylvania page on Reddit and these Reddit leftists HATE him now, calling him a brain-damaged idiot, a retard, he should be removed, he's turning into a Republican, and on and on and on.

And when I try to point out that THEY elected this guy and WE tried to say that maybe it wasn't a good idea to elect someone with brain damage, that YOU all called us "haters" and "Ableist" for that and we we were told to STFU. Instant downvoting and dog-piling vicious replies from them commences after after that. <SHRUG>

Maybe (probably?) it was on this thread, so apologies if it is a repeat...

Fetterman in a recent interview said that his stroke and recovery, awakened him to his mortality and that he need not worry about what people think of him. He was freed to speak his mind. Idk if he is just playing games for his own benefit with that statement, but he certainly seems to be genuine these days.

Still don't trust fetterman. What's his voting record in Congress?
