My take.

I'm not aware of any type of formal mutual aid or defense treaty between Israel and the US.

However, as a free people democratically elected representative democracy I see no issue with cooperation with Israel when it serves our mutual interests.

I am not in favor of sending money, material or manpower to Israel, or any other, without full compensation and if it involves manpower it had better be a legitimate act of self defense. We need to quit sending our young men and women into foreign expeditions.

As for the special nature of the Jewish people and my personal belief in scripture.

One, I believe in God and His Word and the inerrancy of scripture, period!

Scripture tells us that God Himself made a covenant with His people, Israel.

Nuff said, that covenant exists and God never goes back on His word.

Now we know the full history. The rejection of the prophets, rejection of Messiah, the diaspora, the Shoah and the gathering together and establishment of Israel in our time.

My opinion, that's God plan and handiwork and I ain't God so I'm not about to try to read His mind in regards to His people.

I do know that God says those that bless Israel that He will bless. So I'm not against Israel and as scripture also instructs that we the elect of God known as the Church are grafted into the family of God the jews are my brothers and sisters estranged though we are.

So you can say that replacement theology is not scriptural and a lie from the father of all lies, Satan.

Now, does that mean salvation is ahead for the jews? I'm not God, remember, but some scripture does suggest a remnant will. But again that is His master plan.

I am alarmed though at two different threads I see rearing its ugly head. One inside the Church and the other outside. This Khazar/Rothschild/Replacement/Blood Libel nonsense that is whispered in some places and shouted in others. Check our history, it's beginning to sound lie the 1930s and over six million dead in the camps and ten to twelve times that around the rest of the world.
