Christian leaders send letter to President Biden warning that failure to support Israel could endanger US
All Israel ^ | 5/17/24 | Staff

Posted on 05/18/2024 6:16:31 AM PDT by Roman_War_Criminal

One hundred fifty-seven Christian leaders representing different streams of Christianity in the United States, wrote a letter to U.S. President Joe Biden, under the banner of American Christian Leaders for Israel (ACLI), to express their disappointment with recent actions by his administration towards Israel.

In the letter, the leaders warned that these actions would embolden the mutual enemies of both Israel and the United States and encouraged Biden to make “a course correction.”

Among the actions the leaders specified were:

Holding Israel responsible for all civilian casualties in Gaza, despite Hamas being the official government of the people there.

Repeatedly accusing Israel of deliberately blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza, while not calling out Hamas for stealing much of that aid, and holding the terror group accountable.

Abandoning Israel in the UN Security Council during a recent vote for a ceasefire in Gaza, which did not place any significant demands on Hamas.

Trying to force Israel into accepting a two-state solution, despite the vast majority of Israelis disapproving of such a solution, and the rejection of multiple two-state offers by the Palestinian leadership.

Waiving sanctions on Iran, despite its role in helping plan and finance the Oct. 7 attacks and its role in attacks on U.S. forces in the region.

The letter called on Biden to make “a clear course correction,” demanding that Hamas surrender and release all hostages, that Biden “unequivocally support” Israel’s efforts to defeat Hamas and remove them from Gaza, and that the U.S. reinstate all previous sanctions on Iran until it stops funding terror proxies in the region.

If they turn on Israel, we will turn on them. The consent of the governed only goes so far.

It’s pathetic how everyone has to keep explaining the obvious to Liberals

If we don’t kill them there, then we’ll have to fight them here. Oh wait, they’re crossing the border as we type.

Explaining anything Christian related to this evil, corrupted administration is pissing in the wind.

Much in the “ Book” about supporting the Nation of Israel, it is already clear we are rapidly losing God’s blessings.

My favorite verse ( warning):

Zechariah 12:9 ESV

“And on that day I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.”

That is pretty clear. Unfortunately , the US, under senile Joe’s court jesters and mockers, is also mocking God at every turn….it simply will not go unpunished.

Agreed, but be mindful the Book states “ all Nations will turn against Israel”, which turns very, very badly for “them” ( and us). That said, we must never give up our support for the Nation of Israel.

Most importantly:

Genesis 12:2-3 ESV

“And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. *I will bless those who bless you, * and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

“Christian Zionism” is an anti-Christian cult.

I think one word in that title needs to be changed.

This is the usual snake-oil peddling Protestant grifters who always run to get in front of the parade.

The signatories list isn't accessible. How convenient.

Are you being facetious? What religious group has overall been more supportive of Israel than evangelicals, though the term has become watered down?

2013 - 82% of White evangelicals (blacks make up 6% of evangelicals, and 15% of all blacks), along with 84% of Orthodox Jews overall, versus 38% of Catholics and 16% of no-religion Jews, affirmed that God gave the land of Israel to the Jews. 50% of White evangelicals disagree that Israel and an independent Palestinian state can coexist peacefully. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2013/10/03/more-white-evangelicals-than-american-jews-say-god-gave-israel-to-the-jewish-people/

May 26, 2022 Poll: White evangelical support for Israel higher than any other Christian group.. white evangelicals, most of whom are proud Republicans, have the strongest views of Israelis. A whopping 86% of white evangelicals said they felt warmly toward Israelis — more than any other Christian group. By comparison, only 58% of Black Protestants felt warmly toward Israelis.

What do you have against Zion?

Here are all the search results for references to Zion in the Bible.

https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?qs_version=ESV&quicksearch=zion&begin=10&end=10

Below are a few selections of the search results. You may want to reconsider your opposition to something that is so important to God. Otherwise, you will find yourself fighting God.

In general, opposing God is not usually the best course of action one can take.

Psalm 2:4-6 He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision. Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying, “As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill.”

Psalm 9:11 Sing praises to the Lord, who sits enthroned in Zion! Tell among the peoples his deeds!

Psalm 20:2 May he send you help from the sanctuary and give you support from Zion!

Psalm 50:2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth.

Psalm 69:35-36 For God will save Zion and build up the cities of Judah, and people shall dwell there and possess it; the offspring of his servants shall inherit it, and those who love his name shall dwell in it.

Psalm 76:1-2 In Judah God is known; his name is great in Israel. His abode has been established in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion.

Psalm 78:67-69 He rejected the tent of Joseph; he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim, but he chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which he loves. He built his sanctuary like the high heavens, like the earth, which he has founded forever.

Psalm 84:5-7 Blessed are those whose strength is in you, in whose heart are the highways to Zion. As they go through the Valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; the early rain also covers it with pools. They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion.

Psalm 87:1-2 On the holy mount stands the city he founded; the Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwelling places of Jacob.

Psalm 125:1 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever.

Psalm 129:5 May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward!

You seem to be accursed....

Genesis 12:3
I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you

Jesus is The Jewish Messiah.
Jesus is a Zionist since He Created It.

Not thinking you have a good case for your post.

So, if Jesus returns to reign from Jerusalem, sitting on David’s throne, will you tell Him, “Hey, no fair, you’re not playing by our anti-dispensational playbook!!” ?

Well, I certainly agree with you; however, it has taken them some time to write a letter that Biden probably won’t even read. . .not that he is in charge anyway. How about an in-person meeting on site at the White House an a press conference.

the Book states “ all Nations will turn against Israel”,

What part of ALL do we fail to comprehend?


we must never give up our support for the Nation of Israel.

As the ironworker was heard to shout at his fellow team members as he whizzed past the 12th floor after falling from the roof, "So far so good!"
