There are plenty of anti-jew, anti-israeli christians. I think it goes w/o saying that every last christian democrat fits this description. I would go so far as suggesting that many catholic republicans do, too. Of course, I speak only from experience.

People are against Israel b/c they think the jews are the the ones causing the problem. That, if the jews stop what they are doing, everything will be ponies and rainbows. Israel is but a stepping stone to the downfall of the West and the age of reason.

Ya we Christians are crazy Jews! Actually it depends on which breed of Christian you are. I grew up Mormon and I grow up respecting Judaism. No real antisemitism I experienced. My father who is gungho ho Mormon wears a Star of David at times. Other Christians support the Jews because if we are to get to to Armagedon and then on to the 1000 years of down time with Jesus we need to have Israel around and that can not happen if those crazy wacked out Muslims are in charge. (Unless maybe it would make the world one step close to Armageddon if the Muslims ran it!)

Geeze I really do need to check before a post. I have so many spelling and grammer mistakes I sound like idjot.

so, what you're saying, is that the only reason why some segments of the Christosphere support the Jews and the state of Israel is because it is essential that they exist for (utterly nonsense) end-times revelations?

G-D we are so screwed.

CHRISTIANS, READ THIS AND THINK!!

Only an idiot would say that christians must support Israel, firstly, a truly moral christian would see the fact that Israel was founded on major human rights and international law breaches. Secondly, Israel was founded on innocent Palestinain blood and land. Thirdly, the true essence of zionism is very aggressive and is and should not be accepted on the basis of "it's thier right".
Finally, Israel's administration is purely zionist and secular whether you like it or not. And that what the Palestinians are doing is a very natural reaction to unbelievable oppression..

So for all the ignorants who think going against Israel is anti-semitism, they should know that it is anti-zionism.
I personally have many close Jewish friends who vehemently oppose zionism and the Israeli administration. Therefore, only an immoral and stupid christian would support Israel...

John, you're an idiot. The Israelis live in peace and give full citizenship rights to anybody (the Druze, for example) who doesn't want to run them into the sea. I suspect your real name isn't "John" but Achmed. Personally, I think Israel should buy a patch of land in Baja and move all the Jews there so the tribalistic death-cult Muslims can all kill each other without having the Israelis as an excuse.

Also, while Jews and Christians believe silly, unproven stuff, the Quran, which Muslims are told they must take literally, commands Muslims to convert or kill the infidel and install The New Caliphate. Muslim countries persecute jews and Christians (and Buddhists, and anybody else who doesn't believe in Allah).
