Standing with Israel


Our world is going through a period of rapid and chaotic change. Socialists, Communists, and Muslim Extremists are working hard together to destroy capitalism, freedom and democracy. More specifically, they are working together to destroy America and Israel. In such tumultuous, uncertain times, it is imperative that we as Americans clearly define what our values and who our friends are and then solidly stand by them. 
America has long been a beacon on a hill. The shining example of freedom and democracy, and from our birth, there have been nations who want to destroy us and nations that want befriend and emulate us. One nation that seeks our friendship is Israel. 
With much of the Middle East in turmoil, and most of the Muslim countries shouting for the death of America, we need to protect and defend ourselves, but who can we trust and depend on? Turkey? Iran? Iraq? Saudi Arabia? No, they are the ones who are shouting for our death. But, surrounded by all these hate filled voices, there is one country in the Middle East who extends the hand of friendship and peace to America. That country is Israel.
A tiny country in the Middle East whose neighbors are clamoring for her death. She is our sister nation. We are founded on the same Judeo-Christian principles and we both have similar democratic governments whose purpose is to preserve freedom. As such, we are the polar opposites of the dictatorial regimes that are governing most of the Middle East. The Muslim extremists who are governing countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia are working hard to put into place a caliphate, or kalifah, which is basically taking over the world so that the entire world is an Islamic empire. One by one, each of the countries in the Middle East are falling prey to this caliphate, and it is spreading beyond the Middle East. After the revolution in Egypt this last spring, Egypt is being run by the Muslim Brotherhood, an extremist organization, and with every country they control, they grow bolder and more greedy for land and power. They are now calling for an end to Israel. 
We cannot let this happen! Israel is the only country in the Middle East who stands for democracy. If she falls, we are next. We need to stand with Israel. We need to support her in her lonely stand for freedom. 
 If we don’t, we will fall. America will cease to be a great nation, we will lose our democracy and become like all the other nations in history who have stood against Israel. Throughout history, there have been people who have tried to wipe the Jewish nation off the face of the earth. Every time they have failed. Several have gotten close, like Hitler with the Holocaust, but in the end they were defeated and Israel came out stronger. History proves that Israel’s enemies will, in the end, be defeated and cut off. History also shows us that the nations that befriend and help Israel will be blessed and prosperous. I believe that this is why we have been a great nation. From the beginning we have supported Israel. But now, we are divided and pulling away from her.  As we do this, we are losing our greatness. We need to draw back to Israel and stand with her, even if every other nation in the world is calling for her death. 
What can we do? We aren’t politicians or policy makers. What can the average citizen do to support Israel? First, we need to remember it only takes one voice to effect a change. It takes one voice saying something until another one joins it and then another until we are a million voices strong. Secondly, we need to educate ourselves. Read up on history, read up on current events. Research what is going on around you in the world and then form an educated opinion. Form convictions and stick to them. Then, make your voice heard. Vote for leaders who will stand with Israel. Write a blog, share your thoughts and tell your friends.
