So how does the Arab world compare?
Wealthy Arab leaders spend millions of petro-dollars promoting extremist Islam in the West while many of their people lack basic amenities like food and education.
Many of them secretly indulge in the same immoral vices they publicly condemn, bribe Western leaders into turning a blind eye to their despotism and deflect the frustrations of their populations away from themselves by scape-goating those "infidels," the Israelis!
Some other Arabs have been either detonating themselves or talking others into it--murdering civilians young and old--and spreading hate-filled lies to incite "Jihad" against Americans, Christians and Jews.
Degenerate leaders, Islamist propaganda, anti-Semitic rantings, and a culture of revenge have truly turned the Arab World upside-down and inside out!
Their people deserve our pity more than our respect.
Their leaders should be condemned or in some cases hung like Saddam Hussein.
What have the Arab leaders done with all their oil money?
Why aren’t Arab states at the forefront of technology development or human health research or any number of other helpful things?
It seems to me that if a tiny country like Israel can produce so many good and wonderful things for mankind, why in Gods name couldn’t the Arab masses do likewise? And perhaps even better considering the trillions of dollars they have.
Have you asked your self these questions?
Consider this then. “The strength of the United States is directly proportional to the safety of Israel.”
Do you still think Israel should give any more land away for the fleeting peace agenda the world wants to impose on them?
Land to a group of people that technically do NOT exist. Palestinians are Arabs.
Considering there are 22 Arab countries with landmasses far, far greater than tiny Israel, doesn’t it make sense that the Arabs should deal with this problem and leave Israel alone? They certainly have enough land and obviously enough money, so what then is the problem? And why is the United States sending weapons and money to the terrorists in Palestine? Why, why, WHY!?
"The land of Israel belongs to God, and He has decided to give it to the Jewish nation, in accordance with the covenant sealed on Mount Sinai, a covenant that no other nation was willing to undertake. After a long exile, we've returned home. We bear no malice toward anyone and seek no harm to anyone. But we will not surrender any portion of our land to foreign powers, and if foreigners rise up against us to destroy us, we will fight against them and, with God's help, we will destroy them." - Martin Wasserman

And God said in Genesis chapter 12 verses 2 and 3;
“I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you
And make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing.”
“I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth
shall be blessed.”
And in Psalm 122: 6; “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May they prosper who love you.”
