Well at least we know for certain Isreal is a Christian nation.

:???: :???: WHAT?

Religion in Israel is a central feature of the country and plays a major role in shaping Israeli culture and lifestyle, and religion has played a central role in Israel's history. Israel is also the only country in the world where a majority of citizens are Jewish.

According to the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics, the population in 2011 was 75.4% Jewish, 20.6% Arab, and 4.1% minority groups. The religious affiliation of the Israeli population[vague] as of 2011 was 75.4% Jewish, 16.9% Muslim, 2.1% Christian, and 1.7% Druze, with the remaining 4.0% not classified by religion.

More Muslim then Christian...

My question is: Name one thing...ONE THING...Israel has done for the United States.
Gave us Jesus Christ which is why I love them and you hate them.

They nailed Him to a cross, for fk's sake!

Check into a motel--they got a book on nightstand called a 'Bible'--maybe steal it and read it....
Thanks for the tip littlejoe. Just got back from reading the book you talked about in the motel. It says God himself gave Israel their land and their borders are actually much larger than they currently claim. It also says that God himself will bless those that bless Israel and curse those that curse Israel. It also said that Jesus Christ is called The Lion of the Tribe of Judah. Not only is Jesus a Jew, it names his tribe.

Arguably the most stupid post ever on Rancher's. And with all the stupid sh!t the Fatman has posted, that's saying something.

No way loomix, that post isn't half as stoooped as "Isreal is a Christian nation"
Incedentally.... Ahem, made by the same enlightened individual as your erroneous nomination for stooopedest of all time.

Jesus was a Roman citizen...as citizenship was understood at that time.

Citizens of Judea were not Roman citizens. They were governed at the time by a Roman Prefect. Pontius Pilate was the fifth such prefect since Herod Archelaus was deposed by Emperor Augustus in 6 AD. Until the 3rd Jewish Revolt in 135 AD the citizens in Judea were ruled as non-citizens under Roman rule.


Likelihood of this fantasy being true? Nil.

Here is what one Jew has done for America.

Haym Solomon

From the period of 1781–84, records show Salomon's fundraising and personal lending helped provide over $650,000 (approximately $8.8 billion in 2013 dollars) in financing to George Washington in his war effort. His most meaningful financial contribution, however, came immediately prior to the final revolutionary war battle at Yorktown.[7]

In August 1781, the Continental Army had trapped Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis in the Virginian coastal town of Yorktown. George Washington and the main army and Count de Rochambeau with his French army decided to march from the Hudson Highlands to Yorktown and deliver the final blow. But Washington's war chest was completely empty, as was that of Congress. Without food, uniforms and supplies, Washington's troops were close to mutiny.[7] Washington determined that he needed at least $20,000 to finance the campaign. When Morris told him there were no funds and no credit available, Washington gave him a simple but eloquent order: "Send for Haym Salomon". Salomon raised $20,000, through the sale of bills of exchange, and Washington conducted the Yorktown campaign, which proved to be the final battle of the Revolution.[4]

Salomon negotiated the sale of a majority of the war aid from France and the Dutch Republic, selling bills of exchange to American merchants. Salomon also personally supported various members of the Continental Congress during their stay in Philadelphia, including James Madison and James Wilson. He requested below market interest rates, and he never asked for repayment.[8]

Salomon is believed to have granted outright bequests to men he felt were unsung heroes of the Revolution who had become impoverished during the conflict. One example is Bodo Otto, senior surgeon in the continental army. Otto joined the army at the age of 65 and served for the entire war. Among other things, he established the hospital at Valley Forge where he often used his own funds to purchase medical supplies. Due to Salomon's bequest, Otto was able to rebuild his medical practice in Reading, Pennsylvania at war's end.

The Treaty of Paris, signed on September 3, 1783, ended the Revolutionary War but not the financial problems of the newly established nation. America's war debt to France was never properly repaid, which started the cascade of events leading to the French Revolution.

Jewish community

Pennsylvania Historical Marker, 44 N 4th Street, Philadelphia (July 2014)
Salomon was involved in Jewish community affairs, being a member of Congregation Mikveh Israel in Philadelphia, and in 1782 made the largest individual contribution towards the construction of its main building. In 1783, Salomon was among the prominent Jews involved in the successful effort to have the Pennsylvania Council of Censors remove the religious test oath required for office-holding under the State Constitution. These test laws were originally written to disenfranchise the Quaker majority (Quakers objected to taking oaths at all), but many were caught up in this anti-democratic ploy. It was Salomon's old friend Robert Morris, who actually introduced legislation to end the test laws in Pennsylvania. In 1784, Salomon answered anti-Semitic slander in the press by stating: "I am a Jew; it is my own nation; I do not despair that we shall obtain every other privilege that we aspire to enjoy along with our fellow-citizens."

Death[edit]

The financier died suddenly and in poverty on January 8, 1785 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Due to the failure of governments and private lenders to repay the debt incurred by the war, his family was left penniless at his death at age 44.[7]

His obituary in the Independent Gazetteer read, "Thursday, last, expired, after a lingering illness, Mr. Haym Salomon, an eminent broker of this city, was a native of Poland, and of the Hebrew nation. He was remarkable for his skill and integrity in his profession, and for his generous and humane deportment. His remains were yesterday deposited in the burial ground of the synagogue of this city."[3]

Sorry, REd---but I 'spect you actually just 'skimmed' the book. Let me 'splain it to ya', okay?

Let's say you got lots o' land and you give some to some folks you think is good folks?

You get busy with other things and you find out these 'good folks' you give this land too had done gone and tortured your only Son to death.

so---you feelin' real benevolent? Not bloodly likely, 'eh?

Purty good odds you cast these murderin' sonsobitches out and curse 'em, 'eh?

Wull--thet's perzactly whut happened! They nailed God's Kid to a cross--actually, they nailed him to an X.

That cross idea was some salesmanship. Thing about it. You ever been to jeruselum? Big ol' rocky hill. How'd you like to dig postholes there? With ancient tools. To plant somebody you hated.

Nope---with an X, you just prop 'em up. And that's what they did. Don't tell me them jews is still the 'chosen people' I ain't buying it.

Suggest you read yer nect book clear thru to the end.

You can't make up your own facts. You're an idiot and a racist. It's blaspheme to say that God got busy with other things and someone crucified his son and it made him mad. How stupid. It would take an imbecile to believe such a fairytale as the one you suggest.

The Bible says my people perish for lack of knowledge. ignorance kills. believing lies ends up deadly. no wonder God places so much importance on what we say and don't say. Jesus said out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks and some really show they have no real trust in the God of the bible--just their idea of who they think God is (breaking the 2nd commandment-their image of Him carved out in their minds and it is not a true one) and their idea of what He actually says--vast difference. there is forgiveness for that still but people better be coming to the Truth soon because God will be calling everything on the carpet---soon--not later...
