I am actual...I am very sorry to have insulted you.<br /><br />I am actually very pro-Israel.<br /><br />As I carefully consider your comment, it seems to me that perhaps I was unclear in what I meant when I used the phrase, "nation of Israel." I can see why you thought I meant modern Israel as it stands today. However, what I really meant was the Biblical history of the ancient nation of Israel. I am not sure whether this will make a difference to you, but I am editing the post to (I hope) more accurately state what I am trying to say. <br /><br />I never meant to write any commentary on modern day Israel as she has existed since 1967. If I had been trying to do that, I would have written in staunch support of Israel. I think it is shameful how the world gangs up on Israel and then condemns her for defending herself. I am very sorry about your friend who died in her defense.<br /><br />I was only trying to differentiate between "national Israel" (defined as the bloodline of Abraham through Isaac), as opposed to "spiritual Israel" (those who share in the faith of Abraham). This is a New Testament Biblical concept that the Apostle Paul explores in the book of Romans, chapters 2-11, and the book of Galatians, chapter 3. You may not be interested in the New Testament.<br /><br />I could try to clarify further, but I do not want to offend you any more than I already have. <br /><br />You are right that I have not been to Israel, but it is not for lack of desire. I have researched trips to Israel a number of times. I love Israel, and I am truly grieved that you felt I was disrespectfulRuthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02530688574636829317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6394593369099711178.post-19695900883383120572015-07-03T05:43:24.354-04:002015-07-03T05:43:24.354-04:00I find your comments about Israel insulting.
You...I find your comments about Israel insulting. <br /><br />You are not one of the chosen people. <br /><br />You have likely never been to the holy land. <br /><br />You haven't walked the historic parts in Jerusalem (the Christian areas have a lot of history you could learn from).<br /><br />Israel stands and survives as a country that is constantly under attack by its neighbours. Attacks that if Mexico or Canada did to the United States would lead to the U.S. Going to war against those countries.<br /><br />Say what you want about our U.S., but leave a country you can't possibly understand out of your commentary out of respect for what you have never witnessed first hand. <br /><br />My friend died serving Israel, the country he loved, to uphold the Israeli way of life.<br /><br />Please have more respect for Israel, or at least recognize that you have no right to judge what you haven't seen first hand.
