Thinking of Her

I'm reading a book that was fairly popular and controversial awhile back. The title is "The Israel Lobby." The book basically argues that our strong alliance with Israel is hurting both America and Israel.

A review of the book summed the authors' arguments up in two sentences.

"They describe the remarkable level of material and diplomatic support that the United States provides to Israel and argues that this support cannot be fully explained on either strategic or moral grounds. This exceptional relationship is due largely to the political influence of a loose coalition of individuals and organizations that actively work to shape U.S. foreign policy in a pro-Israel direction."

The authors come to the table with economic and safety concerns. It's obvious the writers have little respect for the spiritual significance of the land. I don't dislike what they had to say because most of their thoughts are reasonable and even true. They make a logical argument, if you discount the Biblical importance of the land.

Therefore, this book is a warning sign. At the end of the age, ALL nations will come against Israel. This book is an entry way for America to justify abandoning Israel. Now is the time to pray for her peace.
