Israel, is not a Chritian (state). Israel, is a Jew. And pockets of Moslems exists therein. Is it like any secular country in the world? What made it unique? Your thoughts?
One thing makes Israel unique is the United States has given Israel more aid than any other nation since World War II, granting it more than $260 billion. Israel a tiny country in population and area and both most opposing countries towards Muslims in northern Africa and Middle east. Not a friendly worldly views exspeacilly recently.
I sort of have a resentment about the amount of money spent toward Israel generally, while it still does what it wishes. I can't afford it.
Same with Ukraine, US spent more money than the entire Russian military budget for the same time period. The more money they print, the more inflation gose up and more Americans suffers.
Israel is indeed a unique nation with a specific historical and cultural identity. It's a Jewish-majority state with diverse communities, including Muslims and Christians. What makes it unique is its historical significance for Jewish people, its complex geopolitical situation, and its ability to maintain a democratic system despite regional challenges. It's a nation where the intersection of religion, history, and modern governance creates a distinctive character. The coexistence of diverse religious and ethnic groups in Israel adds to its uniqueness.
You speak as if Israel is the Center-potint of the nations.
What makes Israel unique to the US --- Israel is Unique in the Middle East due to it being governed as a Democracy. The US is willing to provide aid to Israel to keep Democracy alive and well in that part of the world. The U.S. gives more money in foreign aid in total dollars than any other country globally.
The strong support of the United States for Israel since World War II can be attributed to several historical, geopolitical, strategic, and ideological factors. The Holocaust had a profound impact on public opinion in the United States and around the world. The horrors of the Holocaust generated sympathy for Jewish survivors and a sense of moral responsibility to support the establishment of a Jewish homeland. But most importantly, both the United States and Israel are democracies, and there is a shared commitment to democratic principles, the rule of law, and individual rights. This led to a strong bond between the two nations.
Israel is also viewed by the US as a reliable ally in a region marked by instability and conflicts. This strategic partnership has been crucial for U.S. interests in the Middle East, including countering common threats such as terrorism and the influence of hostile actors like Iran. During the Cold War, the US and Israel shared a common enemy in the form of the Soviet Union, which supported Arab countries hostile to Israel. Israel was seen as a strategic partner in the broader context of containing Soviet influence in the Middle East.
God save America! Those that dare bless Israel, God, bless them.
Whatever you call God I interpreted as Nature. May doG help them
Does not the killing of 5 million Jews, during WW 2 make Israel unique? How much does the USA spent in prosecuting WW 2? Think.
1.Natanville showed that France and Britain had the greatest number of war battles in world history. No idea how many kills.
2 Japan vs China had 35 million kills.
3 2nd world wars USSR 27 million killed
4. 2nd world war China 14 million killed
5 . 2nd world war 7 million Christian killed
6. 2nd world war 6-8 million Germans killed.
7. 4.5 to 8 million, US 1980 since Muslims kill
8 .2nd world war 2 to 6 million Jews killed.It's debatable with Judaism Jews and Zionist. The death toll of the actual number Jew's in the holocaust, I don't want to get killed in the crossfires of that debate. I would say Jew's kill in second world war is not so unique.
Americans amounted up to 420,000. Killed in world war two.
Although Zionist have made more hollicaust, war movies and old American western films that killed. Greater than anyone in human history.
That's unique
But you detour from the issue of how much America, spent as she entered the second World War.
US has spent more money on the middle eastern wars in dollars than the second world war. It's just the inflation has grown much greater.
Agreed that the USA has spent more money on the Middle East (?) wars, in Israel's favour after the 2nd WW. So that means that the dollars spent in prosecuting WW 2 is insignificant? Actually, the USA enter the war late. Within a spern of 2 to 3 years, the war is over. Seriously, think of the amount spent in making both Big Box and Small Boy nukes. They're other costs involved for special purpose.
I won't support any death cult anywhere exspeacilly the greatest bullies being the largest corporations in the world, the US military Corp. A world of pychopaths murderer in a uniform that solves nothing. Most people in the world don't want war, absolutely.
Seriously, no one wants war, not even the USA military, or Armed Forces. But war is an inbred, and indocrinated nature with some group.
I'm speaking generally public don't want war. About 92% of the American public voted against the Syrian war. And by the war protest around the world, show it even more so.
Yes, the pychopaths, tyrants, greedy, soldiers, monsters, predators and Politicans. Eat up the soils and all the human bloody suffering.
Albert Einstein said he wouldn't have created nuclear power, if their intentions was for nuclear bombs.
https://www.osti.gov/opennet/manhattan- … ograph.htm
Looks like Einstein sort of delivered a warning to Roosevelt in 1939 of the potential power and danger of nuclear fission, and that Germany was in fast pursuit of American research on the topic. While he was not part of "Manhattan Project", and abhorred nuclear weapons, Einstein may have certainly laid the foundation for its creation and subsequent urgency for President Roosevelt.
An interesting movie called oppenheimer about the nuclear bomb
Yep. So when your President Roosevelt, wisely(?) buy the nuclear programme, and the nukers where being made. Tell me Credence, if America, ever shed a tear? Actually, as in Europe, it was jubilation all the way with America. And so when small boy, was droped on Horishina, Japan, the world woke up sleeping.
No, at the time no tear was shed. 1945, A war weary nation after 4 years had an opportunity to get the Japanese surrender without a physical invasion of the Japanese home islands which were expected to cause 1 million casulties.
People say today that letting the nuclear genie out of bottle was a human travesty. But, I say that hindsight is always 20/20. I agree with Harry Truman's decision to use the bomb as the only one that made sense at the time.
Yes. The created nuker bombs- Big Boy, and Small Boy, devastated the phycist scientist.
Your last statement is funny. Are you counting the spaghetti westerns in there, too!
Italian was spaghetti western later.
Hollywoodism was predominantly Jewish from the start. At the world fair , Hollywood represents the culture of America, which taken from many other cultures.

If one wants to understand the significance of Israel and the Jewish people, reading The Old and New Testaments of The Bible is key. God gave special guidance and attention to the Jewish people. They did not believe in many Gods and were reprimanded when they forgot.
Today, they believe in One God, from whence all rights come.
Jesus came to explain that this one God loves all people, his children, equally. In America, a historically Judaeo- Christian nation, and in Israel, freedom of speech is allowed. It is exercised to communicate beliefs and the importance of God in daily life. Today, Christians and many Jews believe that God so loved the world, he gave his only begotten Son.
Jesus came with a mission: To unite the world in love and peace and the means to fight for it.
The terrorists are severely mistaken in their beliefs. They have no idea of what REALITY is. They know not what is truly worth fighting for. They do not know how to find love, peace and God: the one true God.
Rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is worth fighting for. What is Hamas fighting for? Land? Resources? Freedom?
In the final analysis, if they would just cooperate with the Jews on the Land which God gave them, all would be fine.
Just fine.
But ...
NOOOOO!!!!!
They believe their God, "Allah," is telling them to kill the Jews and take their land ... a belief that Iran will utilize to their advantage.
Some say that the US and Russia are also on board with Iran's endevors.
Well the Grass Roots of America is not on board.
At all.
Got Grass Roots?
Yes, Kathryn. I was thinking along this lines. Your first opening paragraph says it all in sum. The Jews are a 'peculiar' people with God, just because of Abram (Abraham}, obey God. That earn his offsprings special class as a people through whom Jesus, would appear to save and united mankind. Seriously and critically, the Jews wants none of the Saviour thing. All they want is the conquering messiah zeal. Seriously again, you can't put down the human spirit with the sword. That is obvious to all. Although Israel, is divided with Jews, Christians, and Moslems, their have one God, the Creator. To bless Israel, is taking side with your Creator. God help and bless Israel.
Israelis relationship with God, is symbolic, and individualism. Every person, not nation(s) can get into that rampot obedient with the Creator God. An instance is the Arabian Job, whose book bears his name, in the OT, Job. He believe Christ, his Redeemer lives in the present realities. That gained him a 'unique' relationship with his Maker. So can every person.
The new testament Jesus. Borrowed from the old testament which is the book of the Jews. To complete their history on earth which is 6000 years old. The Zionist come along from the 1800s {80% Israel is Zionist fake Jewish) and claim white Jewish nationalism. They claim the ownership or the entire land of eastern Gulf among the 8 Muslim countries. They enforce a 75 year occupation and control. Because Jewish David and Jewish jesus are their holyland. So Palestinians who were born on that land have to move over to nothingness. Move over like the natural born natives of North Americans. The real Judaism Jewish, the gypsy of the world don't claim nationalism nor imperialism. Now Zionist who stole their land and housing by ethnic cleansing. They turn them into refugees a few times and reduced to comic Gypsy's . The real Judaism Jews coexist well in many countries with Arabs Muslims before the Zionist çame along.
Creating a victimhood attitude to victimized more hand me downs.
I don't see the reality of land holders or if the right God knows real estate . I just see fantasy wars, far from humanity
I'm not talking about lands. I'm discussing man's uniqueness whth the Creator. Conquered lands, stolen lands lands, given, or purchase lands are out of the equation. What's God to you? A 'doG'? That's terrific!
I wouldn't know who is the right unique God. Maybe everyone can float around in space until they come up with the right God for the rightful owner of a space on the earth.
Castlepaloma, now begin to float in space. Have you see your unique God? Share him, and thanks.
I replace with nature, when anyone is talking about God. It's helps me bring it back to earth and real estate. I can understand real estate in my Country , just not with Israel in its division.
While, doesn't other people, in their country? People that even flot in space?
Well, it would help if the terrorists became atheists.
We are all imagining (a) "God" until we confront His/Her source and force in nature all around us, in ourselves, and most especially in the beautiful perfection of a new born child/soul.
Jesus said, "Know ye not that ye are gods?"
https://christonline.wordpress.com/2017 … psalm-826/
USSR were the atheist Gods and the Zionist military warriors were for anyone to hire. The problem is Centroism of any predominant group, is where absolute power, corrupts every time. I trust most the history and institutions of man, women and child first.
And what about the Chianese? Are they animist?
The most efficient and happiest countries in the world are smaller countries. Like Butaun that borders with China and it's gross national product is happiness. The greatest problem with China is it's too populated and can not be well controlled by one government. It's likely to go with separating into smaller countries, Which I'm in favor of by traveling and work experiences.in China .

Another lie that we've been fed to. I've learnt like everybody that the Allies declared war to Germany because it invaded Poland on Sept 1939, the truth is different. Georges VI's speech says it all! You will notice that the style is the copycat of the one we use to justify our invasions...

Many news outlets, like CNN, have posted that Leon Panetta is now suggesting Isreal will attack Iran in the spring. Is this a good idea? Should America get involved?
