Why Israel Matters to Americans

24

There’s undoubtedly a very special relationship between Israel and the United States. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in the British Mandate of Palestine, the two countries have had deep ideological, political and spiritual ties. This unique relationship between the two has resulted in shielding Israel from criticism and accountability for its occupation, apartheid and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians for over seven decades. Yet can this relationship be explained simply by the role of Zionist lobbying? By U.S. foreign policy objectives? Can American support for Israel be simply explained as continued empathy for the horrors of the Holocaust? Or is the truth closer to home and in the mirror?

In the season finale of Backspace, Sana looks at how the story of Israel has been constructed in the United States — and the very American story at its root, where the indigenous of the land are rendered visible in a very particular way.

  1. NUMBERS 23 : 19. GOD is not a man , that He should lie , Nor a son of man , that He should repent .Has He said , and will He not do ? Or has He spoken , and will He not make it good ? Can someone take a little time to read the story of Balak who wants to curse Jacob and denounce Israel by asking Balaam to do it for him , Balaam has said to Balak , Behold , I have received a command to bless ; GOD has blessed Jacob and I cannot reverse it .( Read NUMBERS 23 and 24 ) I want tell someone there you like it or not , you hate Israel or not , remember this , The GOD of Abraham , Isaac and Jacob ( Israel ) He is a covenant keeping GOD . DEUTERONOMY 14: 2-3 For you are a holy people to the LORD your GOD , and the LORD has chosen you to be a people for Himself , a special treasure above all the peoples who are on the face of the earth .GOD did this for His holy name 's sake . ( Read EZEKIEL 36 20 – 37) Don 't let the devil wear you out to hate Israel and speak lies about Israel for no raisons , because satan is behind that because he cannot find GOD . The Land is GOD 's Land gave it to the children of Israel when He brought them out of Egypt to possess it . The Bible is clear . Palestine is not in the Bible. I pray for all of you that hate Israel and speak all kind of evil against Israel because of like of knowledge , may The Living GOD open your eyes to see the light of the Gospel , because the prince of the world who is the devil has blinded your eyes to not see , may God bring you out of darkess to His light. May YHWE have mercy on you and be gracious to you .

  2. Israel is not the problem but their creator EU and USA we mist drop the dollar trade with china Russia and South East Asia let them love each other 😂

  3. How quickly the oppressed became the oppressors. The colonial settlers in the US colonies felt oppressed by the King of England which led to the US Revolution. The holocaust was an awful stain on humanity, but to then leverage that into justification to occupy Palestine was pretty bad taste. The whole thing has always been a quagmire and it will eventually end when they expunge all Palestinians off their own land, same as with US Native Americans. Sad😢
