Any Israeli Jew who read the recent Jerusalem Post headline, which revealed that 81 percent of American Christians support a two-state solution, would likely be shocked that even staunch friends and supporters of Christians are now turning against the homeland Jewish. .
Yet this statistic, while true, only reflects 81% of a group of 1,200 individuals who participated in an investigationI conducted by Lifeway Research, on behalf of the Philos project.
But these polls, even if they are few in number, are intended to indicate a trend that would be a fairly accurate representation of the population as a whole. So, if this is true, is it possible that in light of everything that has happened over the past three months, most Christians truly believe that a two-state solution remains a viable option that should be explored and implemented?
Well, on the one hand, those who responded are members of the Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox Christian faith, whose views are very different from those of most evangelicals, who know that a two-state solution does not is neither biblical nor realistic. The reason they know is because many of them visit there frequently, have made friends here, who informed them of the real facts on the ground and, ultimately, they understood that the sentiments expressed by pro-Palestinian groups Today, we do not aspire to a solution of two states living side by side in peace.
Unfortunately, these polls often rely on people who know virtually nothing about a particular topic but who nevertheless express an opinion that is not based on knowledge, experience, or crucial information. We saw this with many young Palestinian protesters who, despite their signs saying “From the River to the Sea,” cannot tell you which river or which sea.
But there is a big difference between Palestinian leaders who want a state without Jews and Christians who supposedly agree with the Scriptures that govern their faith. What Bible-believing Christian is naive enough to believe that we still live in the reality of October 6th. Have they not heard, just like the Israelis, the threats of the Palestinian government of Hamas, which intends to continue perpetrating the same attacks again and again, determined to never give up.
And even if terrorists, for the moment, are not trying to parachute into Israeli territory, what about the hostile planes that continue to infiltrate our airspace almost daily?
Most of them come from Lebanon and are intercepted by our air defense systems, but these unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, represent a real danger, because they can “drop hand grenades, mortar rounds, or other improvised explosive munitions directly over targets.” Payloads could include explosives, shrapnel, chemical, radiological or biological hazards.
Yet, despite our precarious situation, 53% of those surveyed expressed their desire for an immediate ceasefire. There, the complete ignorance of these particular Christians, who believe that a ceasefire is the right course of action to take, demonstrates a remarkable level of ignorance. Because an immediate ceasefire would only serve to guarantee a repeat of the events of October 7. How many Jews will be dead, tortured and kidnapped before the world realizes that appeasement of evil is not the way forward?
It is incumbent on Christians of all stripes to understand that they are the next victims of the global program of cleansing “infidels” (code for non-Muslims). The extent of unawareness among 81% of participants in this survey is staggering in the face of the very transparent threats from jihadists, who have expressed their intention to carry out massive terrorist threats both in America and throughout Europe.
Given that Jews abroad represent only a tiny fraction of the population as a whole, doesn’t it make sense that most of the victims of such terrorist attacks are Christians and other non-Jews?
Curiously, “more than half of those surveyed (53%) want to see Hamas subdued by war.” How is this supposed to happen if a ceasefire keeps them intact, with the ability to rebuild, regroup and rearm? None of this makes any sense. And here is the reason.
The term “negotiations” is proposed as the way forward to find a solution for Gaza, following the end of the war. The problem is that “negotiations” are largely a Western method of resolving difficult issues. However, this is NOT a strategy valued, used or enjoyed by barbaric terrorists whose goal is the annihilation of the Jewish people.
Much of the ignorance among Americans and Europeans lies in their refusal to accept that this war against us And them, is based on a complete contempt and rejection of everything Western. This includes our way of life, our customs, our faith, our culture and, above all, our desire to live in peace with our neighbors.
Negotiations represent a willingness to compromise, give respect to each party, and find amicable solutions that allow two populations to coexist. Does anyone think that savage butchers, who delight in the slaughter of innocent babies, children and families, are capable of sitting in a room and coming to a civilized and courteous conclusion about how How can these two people, who share no common values or morals, live together without fearing that another October 7 will occur when we least expect it?
It is evident that the 1,200 respondents also suffer from a blatant lack of understanding of Scripture as it relates to Israel and, therefore, do NOT represent Bible-believing Christians who believe what is written, because it does not It’s not that complicated.
God was very clear in speaking about Abraham’s two sons, Isaac and Ishmael. Only with Isaac would his everlasting covenant be established for his descendants after him. Ishmael would also become a great nation, but not in the same place (Genesis 17:18-21). Ishmael would live east of all his brothers (Genesis 16:12). Likewise, Isaac’s son Esau, who did not inherit the promise, ended up living in Edom, which is now the Jordan River.
There truly was a two-state plan for the sons of Abraham, but not for equal halves of the same country. They are two distinct nations for two distinct people with different destinies.
And this is something that 100% of all Christians need to understand!
