Why Bush Supports Israel So Steadfastly

I read with some interest an entry appearing on Secular Blasphemy the other day, entitled Kerry supports Rantissi assassination, Bush policy changes. Jan, a Norweigen atheist, is a supporter of Israel. As, in fact, is this Hoosier Heathen. So is John Kerry. But Id' wager none of us supports Israel for the same reasons the Bush administration supports Israel.

I've run into this in my own family, many of whom sincerely believe that it is their duty as Christians to support Israel - and they'd dutifully support an Israeli nuclear strike on Paris, London or New York because of it!

To the best of my knowledge there are no Jews in Jefferson Township, Boone County, Indiana. And I daresay that most of the folks around here have never so much as met a Jew - yet the little country church down the road from me had a fund raising for the release Jonathon Pollard, whom they consider as "God's Patriot" for helping Israel, never mind that he sold his countries dearest defense intelligence secrets to a foreign power. The only things that's kept this traitor in prison is the threatened resignation of most of the intelligence community were any politician to release him.

It's one thing to admire a small nation struggling for it's very survival against hordes of enemies who use the most reprehensible means of warfare. It's quite another to support them because they're doing the Lord's work in bringing on Armageddon.
