A coalition of 17 Christian groups have sent a letter to Congress, urging them to reject a bill that would make it official U.S. policy to oppose boycotts of Israel. The various Christian leaders, including many liberal mainline Protestants, sent the letter Monday, arguing that the “Israel Anti-Boycott Act” that is going through both houses would unjustly suppress “nonviolent peaceful action meant to bring about social change.”
“We are concerned by any legislation that suppresses legitimate criticism of public policy, and that restricts freedom of expression and our ability to determine our own witness through investment and selective purchasing practices,” read the letter. “While we may not be of one mind about which measures are most effective, we collectively affirm and defend the right of churches and organizations to use economic measures in the specific case of Israel-Palestine.” READ MORE
As Bible believing and Bible reading (……hopefully) Christians we need to stand for Israel in defense as this is a nation consistently bullied internationally. In fact, almost the whole world is FOR Palestine, a biblical arch enemy at heart against the Israelis and Almighty God’s inheritance. God ordained Israel to be His lamp bearer, so that all gentiles, through Israel’s testimony, would come under the Lordship of Christ. Reading the Bible it has been proven throughout the ages how God destroys nations, kingdoms and people who attack Israel unfairly. Currently the scales AGAINST Israel are biased and global support towards Palestine topples heavily in THEIR (Palestine’s) favour. It is sickening how man always thinks he / she knows better than God and what His Word explicitly says about Israel and her inheritance. Stop! If you are a born-again Christian your mandate is to always stand for Israel and stop helping the world poke at the apple of God’s eye. Take every opportunity TO STAND WITH and NOT AGAINST the nation that Satan so desires to destroy!!! There are enough wordly alliances against Israel already, why should Christians help by stopping any policy that could promote and protect the interests of Israel for a change????????? Why not then also go the extra mile and cancel policies that bolster Palestinian peace alliances as well????
