Pastor Tweetie,
Jean has encouraged me to lead the Outreach program at the church. In pursuit of that, I decided that I should consider becoming a member, so I began surfing the UMC website. The article “It’s time for Palestine” in the March 9 issue was a deal breaker. It broke my heart. I can no longer support the United Methodist Church. What is there about the Jewish people that the world hates them so much? Are we jealous because we know they are God’s chosen people? The Jews stood alone as they faced the evil of Hitler; they stood alone as they faced the evil of Stalin. They will not stand alone as they face this present evil. I stand with Israel.
Since we could not abide living with them, we promised them this little sliver of land, this worthless sliver of land, no oil no natural resources, just a pile of sand, to get them out of our way, to assuage our guilty consciences. The rest of the British Mandate, the huge oil rich area the size of the United States was left to Islam. Israel has fought seven wars to keep their land and protect their people. Perhaps that is why they are so feared and hated, because they managed in all cases to repel the barbarians, once in only 8 days, all the armies of Egypt and Syria and all the Arab states. The Jews must still have God on their side; otherwise they would surely have been overrun by the invading hoards. I stand with Israel.
After they repelled their enemies, Israel captured territories including the entire Sinai Peninsula. The western world insisted they return the spoils of war in an effort to make peace with their enemies, but there is no peace. Their enemies shoot down their airplanes from the Golan Heights and launch bombs from the West Bank. Now they must draw back to their 1967 borders? Do we think that then their enemies will be satisfied? Never. And how do they defend an 8 mile strip of land? The airport would be 3 miles from the border. There enemies will not be satisfied until the Jews are pushed into the sea. I stand with Israel.
Listen to Al Zahhar, the leader of Hamas: “The Jews were brought in in droves so then the Palestinians and the Islamic nations behind them will have the honor of annihilating this gang. All the predators, all the birds of prey, all the dangerous reptiles and insects and all the bacteria in the world are far less dangerous than Jews.” Listen to Ahmadinejad: “The Zionist regime is a rotten, dried tree that will be eliminated by one storm.” Listen to the leaders of Hezbollah: “Run the Jews into the sea. Israel has to wiped off the map.” “The Zionist regime is heading toward annihilation.” Listen to al Qaradawi: “I hope that before my life is over I have an opportunity to shoot the enemy, the Jews.” Listen to a sweet little Palestinian grandmother: “Allah, bury Israel and massacre the Jews with your own hands. Allah willing we will massacre them like we massacred them in Hebron. We, the people of Hebron, massacred the Jews. My father massacred them ad brought back some stuff. Thank you very much.”
The author of the March article said that Israel was an apartheid nation. What a stupid thing to say. Twenty percent of the people who live in Palestine are Muslims, they work and worship and get fine educations and take part in the nation’s political affairs. Eighty per cent of the Palestinians who are citizens of Israel would not want their country to suffer under Islamic rule.
