And? WHY can't this mythical being that allegedly chose these people take care of them?

And no, claiming he's doing so through the US is not an acceptable answer unless you factually prove the existence of this being..

Oh please, give us a break! The Jews write a book that says they are God's chosen people and we're all supposed to believe it?

IF they really are God's chosen people then let this mythical, favorites playing God take care of them.

Mixing politics and religion is NEVER a good idea and that includes this case.
Agreed, it's never a good idea and yet politicians/ war lords/ tribal leaders have used religion as a tool to control and motivate the masses to do their bidding, since forever. It's about land grabs and asset seizure.
Easier to accomplish when the people believe they are following God'd intention.

There is strong support for Israel within some Christian communities.
The majority of private aid to Israel comes from US Christian sources.
Can't have an end times without Israel.

Many believe Jews will finally recognize JC as the Messiah and in doing so be restored.
The Israeli PM must say " whatever" , just keep the $ flowing.

While I oppose the resettlement of refugees from anywhere, I would be inclined to make an exception for Israel. Last one out throw a match.

Since they spend the money on US goods, the favor (to some extent) is returned in the form of trade and employment.

No, I mean like Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Iran, Iraq, and the ME in general to cite just a few.

And it could also be spent on our crumbling infrastructure which would be of far more benefit to the US. You know, the stuff we're told we have no $$$ for?.

It's far more likely the US will have its own 'end times' if we continue on the path of paying attention to other countries while our own goes to seed.
