Israel must do what’s necessary for self-defense

Israel has been America’s strongest and most loyal ally in the Middle East.

I applaud their raid on a Palestinian boat bringing aid and ammunition to Hamas. They have every right to defend their homeland and people, just as we do.

To tell them to be patient while being bombarded day and night is ridiculous! To tell them they can’t build housing in Jerusalem is also ridiculous. It’s like telling us we can’t build on our soil for our people.

The double-standard bias from the media is appalling. Our president seems to forget Israel’s friendship and support in the past. He’s leaning pro-Arab and antiIsrael, all of which will be a grave danger to the U.S.

In the Bible in Genesis 12:2-3 it reads, “I will make you into a great nation, I will bless you and make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse (or treat you with contempt) and all the peoples on the earth will be blessed through you.”

God made this promise to Israel and for all the countries that either bless her or curse her.

Our nation better think twice about whose side we are on!

God help us!
