Like I said, there's probably more of those crazy Christians/right wingers that are more blindly pro-Israel than there are real Jews who have such thoughts, in terms of Jewish diaspora around the world
Agreed
I wonder why our presidential candidates are not asked what I would consider to be an important question for a person who is going to control the US's nuclear arsenal. That question being
are you a resurrectionist and a believer in the end time? "those crazy Christians/right wingers that are more blindly pro-Israel" - most of these people are end timers who support Israel and want American policy to be set in a way to bring around the end time. Every time something happens over there there is talk about WW III and Armageddon. Personally I wouldn't want to vote for a president who is a resurrectionist end timer, I don't want such a person with their finger on the launch button.
As for Israel, they been fighting for over 5000 years over there, for a speck of desert. For the end timers here I would say, the creator planned the importance of the holy land by putting all that the oil there to focus the worlds attention on the region and help bring about the end time. For our atheists here, I would say the oil in the middle east is an ironic statistical anomaly that will help to fuel constant conflict until we pump the region dry. In a nut shell, which would you rather have your president saying.
Hopefully, Israel's plan is nothing more than a contingency plan.
