Defend themselves and being condemned by the no good UN. Flotilla raid="worldwide" condemnation Lebanon border shooting=not much discussion. (anyway the Lebanese started it as attested by the UNIFIL. What if Israelis shoot first? It could have been a different story and I am certain another condemnation from the UN.

Don't expect Arab christians to support Israel. They are inclined to support their fellow Arabs even if they are persecuted by the Islamic fundamentalists. Even their religious leaders sound like Hamas when discussion is on Palestinian problem.
63. #36 Charles
David ,   USA, exile   (08.16.10)
Charles, I am a Messianic. That is what you call Christian. There is no one alive more devoted and dedicated to the State of Israel than I am. A couple posts after addressing me, you thanked Christians. Why does that not include me? I am not a fake anything. I am open about who I am and what I am. I do not claim to be a Jew as you have accused me. You are spreading lies directed at me trying to destroy my character. You need to put this hatred for me behind you. Just because I have spoke up when you attack me, you don't like it. My posts are not intended for you. I know you are athiest. You have admitted it. So, why don't you just leave me alone? You say I have a stolen name. If you will give me your email address, I will gladly send you proof of who I am and of m¥ name.
64. Maybe if Jewish children in diaspora were eductaed to be Jew

You imprison yourself. Stop blaming others for your own problems.
66. Christian ambassadors for Israel
Angel ,   Birmingham uk   (08.16.10)
Any Christian who understands Bible prophecy should jump at the chance; "I will bless those who bless you and curse those you," G-d said to Abraham.
67. Christian ambassadors for Israel
Angel ,   Birmingham uk   (08.16.10)
To don't generalise no, my friend, not all Christians defend Israel but this is out of ignorance. I suggest you read Psalm 83 to start off with and then dig deep into God's unbreakable covenant with Abraham in Genesis. Then go to Esau (from whom the Persians came) giving away his birthright to his brother, Jacob, and Isaac, who was the true-born son of Abraham, and Ishmael, ( who fathered the Arab race) who was Abraham's illegitimate son and therefore not the inheritor. Understand these and the importance of geneology and inheritance in the Bible and you will get the picture.
68. Some very, very heavy irony at work in this YNET posting
Cameron ,   USA   (08.16.10)
Christians as the PR assault troops for the state of Israel! The cynic in me is vastly amused by this turn of Fate.
69. Universities think Christians R Whack 2
iObserver ,   US-Israel   (08.16.10)
Useless. Universities laugh at religion regardless of what it is, unless they r a seeming underdog of sorts. American universities turn out the worlds largest group of fanatics every year: u can't reason with these lunatics let alone talk to them. They're almost all Darwinian liberals who see human life as nothing more than a sophisticated form of fungus growing on this rock at the end of the universe and that there is no purpose to life but your own, whatever that may be. A Christian trying to talk to a Darwinian??? May as well talk to a pile of dog pooh. It's not until something horrendous and terrifying happens to these idiots that they begin to gain some sense. But by then, they've already helped murder innocent people with their whacky support of the poor ol terrorist groups. Just ignore them all.
70. to #5 you have a mistake, the israeli offer
ghostq   (08.16.10)
is pure volunteer work (I would if I could) and in china they do it under gun point, it seems you do not know the difference between democracy like Israel and totalitarian communist regim. go back to school that is if amerikan schools worth anything.
71. to #25 funny but muslim like palis also r
ghostq   (08.16.10)
trying to conquer your country, and you support them? any way if you only knew how chritians r being arrased in nazerath by arab muslim you wouldn't be, btw Israel built park just so it will be convinient for chritians to pray there, very nice one, very nic indeed., so before you judge Israel go check what they do to chritians in their area.
72. #5 - Greta. Who knows not what she speaks
Maralyn S ,   Queens, New York   (08.16.10)
I find it incredible, in this day and age that, someone could make such stupid comments and proudly show their ignorance. Israel has the right to live; the country is not an occupier and only wants to live freely among their neighbors. Christian Zionests are wonderful people who understand the truth and they should be applauded for their bravery in support of Israel. Long live Israel.
73. IT TAKES TIME
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (08.16.10)
We must remember the Pals have had a 25 year head start. They have worked hard and efficiently at putting out propaganda to vilify Israel. They have been brilliant at it, and we must give them credit where credit is due. Now, Israel needs an equal coordinated effort to rebut to constant lying by the Arabs. It will take time to undo the 25 years of damage. Here in the U.S., every election cycle, negative campaigning is always discussed, the pro's and con's. In the end, they draw the same conclusion, IT WORKS ! If you don't respond, people tend to believe the lie, if you do respond, it takes the candidate off the message he trying to get out. So it is a win/win for the those who put out the negative message. Israel made a big mistake not responding to each and every negative message. They thought, why dignify such a silly and obviously false message, it will just give that lie credibility. Israel was Wrong, By not responding, nobody could hear both sides and make an informed decision. Now Israel will have play catch-up. The great news is this, lies from the Arab world abundant. So, i.e 1) flotilla incident/ video;s have shown how they falsely portrayed Israel as the instigator, 2) Lebanon border skirmish/ IDF fired first- they did NOT, IDF crossed the border - they did NOT, TWO more lies. 3) Crisis in Gaza/ with pictures and video's now out of stocked food courts, luxury restaurant and hotels, New Water parks for the kids etc., certainly it doesn't look like a prison. We live in a world of sound bites and images, The Pals were quicker to take advantage of this. The great news, is they lied, most of the time. So Israel must use these truthful images to fight back.
74. Christians and Jews
Ralph Haglund ,   Lund, Sweden   (08.16.10)
The article tells about one good approach, but there are an awful lot of non-Jewish human beings who are pro-Israeli! And it is important for the Jews in Israel to realize there are many kinds of Christians and similar. An awful lof of "official Christians" follow the 1000 year old tendency towards antisemitism (there was a gap of 50 years after Hitler), like many Churches. I left the Swedish Church some years ago because of that and call myself Noahide, barely knowing what it is. At least I do not have to defend any antisemitism. There is a small handful of pro-Israeli blogs in Sweden, most written by non-Jews. Like mine at http://israelisverige.info There is quite enough of info online to know what is happening, even thou the government of Sweden gives the pro-palestinian groups millions for propaganda, we get none. About the poor Palestinian Arabs there is a good article at http://www.likud.nl/press308.html
75. The only thing that has not been mentioned!
Jacob ,   Bet Shemesh, Israel   (08.17.10)
The only thing that has not been mentioned in the article and talkback section is the continuous double standard that Israel's enemies have when you try to have any back and forth about this conflict that dates back way before the reestablishment of the state of Israel. Here in this article that double standard is the fact that Jews cannot be "objective" rational thinkers in this conflict but those violent protesters of the Muslim/Arab side supposedly are objective. HMMMM NOT! These Muslims/Arabs and their leftist student supporters are not objective or they would at least allow Jewish speakers to air their side and stance. Yet in their culture, freedom of speech is a no no. How ironic that the "free" university campuses that should be championing freedom of speech whether they be Jew Christian of Muslim are already instituting Sharia Law of shutting up us infidels and our support of the most egalitarian society on the globe!
