Dietrich Bonhoeffer: Christianity, Government and Race
“With multiculturalism, humanism, and socialism representing grave concerns to our communities, we may look to blame a particular group, race, or idea – and dream that if only this particular “problem” could disappear, everything would surely get better. But this belief, which has resulted in countless incidents of blood-shed and revolutionary horrors throughout all of human history, is nothing new. In fact, such was Germany after World War 1. Much like the United States today, the German people faced with apprehension the growing problems of Governmental instability, cultural change, civil unrest, and economic concerns. But instead of appealing to God, this supposedly “Christian” people looked not to a Biblical wisdom they should have known – but to human ideas that contributed to a rise of National Socialism in Germany…” – From Dietrich Bonhoeffer: Christianity, Government and Race
But during this dark hour for Germany, and the rest of the world, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, born on February 4, 1906, would be one of the leaders who stood up to the Nazi lies – and helped to bring the light of truth to a people lost in darkness. Perhaps best known for resisting Hitler’s euthanasia programs and genocidal campaigns against the Jews, he was also involved in efforts to assassinate Germany’s evil Dictator. An influential German Lutheran pastor, theologian, and founding member of the Confessing Church, he was arrested on April of 1943, and executed two years later.

It's quite obvious that the Muslim Brotherhood has no problem with wiping out all the Jews.

According to The National Review Online, Obama provided massive funding for the ... Even though, the Supreme Guide of The Muslim Brotherhood called for jihad against America, in April of this year, Barack Obama released 1.5 billion dollars in foreign aid to a Muslim Brotherhood dominated Egyptian government that is now led by President Mohammed Morsi.

Yes, and like you said - the Federal Government has a long history of stirring the feelings up against the Jewish people. Of course, Israel has a long history of being a bully in that region as well. A lot of Christians in middle eastern countries have been harshly persecuted by their Governments because of what Israel and the Federal Government have done - and the perceived connection of Christianity with Western civilization and U.S. Zionism.

Israel has a right to that land they are living on. There has NEVER been a sovereign nation called Palestine, never in history. That land was given to them by God. Of course, those who do not read the Bible do not understand this. If someone shoots rockets at me, I'm pretty sure I'm going to go kick their tail instead of letting them shoot at me, which is exactly what Israel does. The best way to take care of a bully is to beat him up. God will only bless those nations that stand with Israel.
