Why Do Christians Support Jews If The Jews Do Not Believe Jesus Was...........

[dieseldick]

im reading wikipedia on it , if the jews believe jesus was a false messiah then why do christians associate themselves with jews ? in some articles i have read the jews hated the christians. its been 20 odd years since i studied religious education in school and its a very very complex subject . i find the bible difficult to get my head around ( gives me a headache ) lol

in a nutshell, basically what is the association between the two and why do christians stand with israel even now against hamas and the arab world.

i like to think the israeli,s are right to strike back at hamas, hamas have been the aggressors firing rockets into israel and killing innocence, i do not belive in israeli,s targeting un schools , i deplore the killing of any civillians from whatever religion but the jews have a right to live in israel free from aggression. i stand with the jews because of their continuous persecution at the hands of the romans, the arabs, the nazi,s etc.. they have been persecuted and bullied for generations from the beginning of time.

so the jews came out of canaan , where are they to return to ? canaan was their homeland. are you saying they were not persecuted by the romans, arabs, nazi,s , russians ? where should they call home ?

"An Iranian Jewish organization announced over the weekend that it rejected an initiative to compel Iran's Jewish community to immigrate to Israel using cash incentives.
"[The money is]inappropriate and politically immature," the group said in a statement that was carried by Western and Iranian news outlets.
It added Iran's Jewish community has remained loyal to the Islamic Republic and that their "Jewish Iranian identity is not a commodity that passes from the hands of one merchant to another in return for money."
Iran has the largest Jewish community in the Middle East outside of Israel.

Dieseleldick, My ancestors came out of the low countries, went to Ireland, thence to England. Where is my home? here where I live in France.

Christians do not support Jews. Its the cpaitalism and it is in full control of Jews.

Keyplus, I think you will find that many christian fundamentalists support the zionists as their beliefs coincide on the issue of Israel. There are as many different interpretations of the bible as there are of the koran, which is why there are so many dead christians and muslims killed by their co-believers. Muslims don't have exclusive rights to religious intolerance, christians are good at it too.

[dieseldick]

its too confusing a subject for me to comment on, i just believe that the jews came from there years ago and should be allowed to return and live in peace.
i believe also that most muslims do not like christians or jews and if they had their way they would dominate the world with their crazed cult called islam.

dd, If everyone had the right to claim land where their ancestors lived 2000 years ago chaos would rule. Why 2000 years? why not 500 or 5000. would proof be needed. What would happen to the people that would have to be displaced. It is a ridiculous idea as has been demonstrated so effectively in the middle east.

[mibn2cweus]

It is Muslims who have singled themselves out as Muslims, Christians as Christians and Jews as Jews. What unites them all is that they have each singled themselves out as something other than human beings that see only the inhumanity of all the others while selectively choosing to remain blind to their own.

[keyplus90]

Christians and Jews have never ever been in good relations until the creation of Israel in 1948, and even since then it's mainly Americans and they have their own reasons to support Israel or Jews. if someone claims otherwise then they need to re-polish their history.

[jomifl]

Keyplus, you cannot have lived in the UK that long if you seriously believe that. Go re-polish...

[dieseldick]

jomfiti....that is a fair point and i think you are right, maybe we tend to believe in the media too much though no question the jews have been persecuted and the islamics want to dominate, doesnt it say so in their "unholy" book ?

[jomifl]

Dd, the Jews have been persecuted but so have a lot of ethnic/ religious groups, the list is very long. Strangely enough despite their persecution the Jews are one of the most successful 'minorities' on the planet. I have several Jewish friends but I have no Palestinian friends or even Ialian friends. Strange isn't it?

[jomifl]

I(t)alian, a very small group indeed :o)

[Svejk]

they're fair-weather friends, anyway, them Ialians. ;)
