Sometimes I think Christians are looking for a way out of God's command to stand with Israel when their respected spiritual leaders — the ones who actually do — tell them God said they need to do that.
Instead they want to know which Israelis it is okay to hate: Are they just supposed to support the general Israeli public leaving them free to hate the Israeli government, or what? It always makes me wonder just who they are listening to that they want a clear path to hating the Israeli government for decisions they believe deserve their hatred. It isn't God's Word they are listening to.
I heard today that one Christian woman said she would rather go to hell and praise God from there rather than to support Israel.
This is a woman who does not know God, does not believe His word is true, and does not respect the FACT that God Himself calls EVERY Christian to love and support Israel. She surely may end up in hell if she doesn't have a change of heart.
The people of Israel are like all human beings on the planet: they need salvation by faith in Jesus. Jesus to English-speakers, Yeshua to Hebrew speakers and his mama.
I don't always agree with the Israeli government especially when the religious Jewish leaders have too much influence on Israeli policy and ALSO when the Liberal parties are running the country. I have very little beef with ANY of Netanyahu's policies - except when he bends to the ultra-Orthodox or Orthodox parties on issues that impact religious freedom among my friends, the Jewish believers in Yeshua in Israel.
I suspect that the woman who said she would rather stand in hell praising God than support Israel has been feeding on the abundance of FALSE narratives about Israel. Maybe she is in the fold of those Christians who know NOTHING about the facts of history regarding the conflicts between the Palestinians and Israel (or the other Arab Islamist states against Israel.
If she doesn't wise up and start loving the truth and trusting God and His Word, I imagine she is going to have a lot of like-minded friends in her corner of hell designated especially for antisemitic haters.
Seriously, antisemitism is a form of mental illness. Spiritual mental illness.
