The United States needs to butt out of Israel’s business!! Their country was attacked!!! They have every right to respond!! If it were America that was attacked, you bet your bottom dollar that we would be responding!!!
I agree!!
Lots of rhetoric being thrown out in all directions. I pray for the PM, the generals, the intel people to have both courage & Godly discernment in Israel. Waiting around until the enemies regain strength might not be wise.
Personally, I’m inclined to do the opposite of whatever the current US administration says. They are an illegitimate, unelected coup that doesn’t speak for the majority of the electorate.
I also think the people of Iran are being held hostage to their government. Things were better when the Shah was there. They didn’t menace Israel then.The populace is chafing to get out from under these overbearing fanatics.
Thankfully the bottom line is God’s will. He will deal accordingly with Israel as He sees fit. We’ve been told to bless them. That’s my default position always. And how much longer can we hang on to all the magnificent blessings bestowed upon us here, if we do not?
Come O Lord, and set the captives free. We are devoid of righteous leadership
everywhere we look. We need you on the throne in Jerusalem.
God bless Israel ! Home of our King.
God have mercy on us who await You.
ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL COMMENT, SIS!!
