Many of us fundies pray for the interests of Israel because this jinxed "Soldier of God" commands *superstitious* allegiance. Many fundies deduce that a country's blessings are necessitated by such an allegiance, based on history. I agree.
Biblical history has repeatedly demonstrated it is stupid to persecute Israel once they’ve been in battle.
Consider the books of the old testament: E.g., Esther (where the word ”God’ is not mentioned once) and the fall of Haman's house. The Persian king *allowed* Israel revenge on the *enemy* without interfering.
Kings of Babylon and Persia sympathized repeatedly with Israel in hopes that their kingdoms would enjoy divine blessings.
Albeit fundies (including Paul the apostle (latter book of Romans) believe most Jews are actually damned to a greater hell seeing they deny Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
Israel (via Abraham, etc.) is also the father of fundies. The fundy *Luke Skywalker* hopes that this *Darth Vader* will someday repent. Islam/Ashtoreth, on the other hand, is NOT my father.
It seriously behooves me to support Israel, thus.
