Yes, but I am asking why you support Jewish nationalism. Supporting the Jewish state is one thing, supporting their ideolgy is another.
As far as I'm concerned, the US is not a Jewish state, and was not founded by Jews either.
The fact that you have a Jewish minority does not mean that you ought to support a Jewish-exclusive ideology.
Quote:A third temple is required to be built on the temple mount in order to fulfull the rapture/end times fantasies longed for by fundamentalist Christians. The antichrist is supposed to announce himself as the savior in the rebuilt temple.
That is the reason why they support zionism, you say.

Quote:Considering that conservative Christians are the most ardent supporters of Israel, I would say it has something to do with the bible.
Well, not all, I'd say.
Jewish nationalism? Jewish ideology? .....Why do you dislike Jews?

It's not Jews, per se A Theist. The only sort of nationalism that Mehm gets behind is the ethnocentric type (particularly his own ethnicity-he doesn't seem to be so hot on others). Probably doesn't have any special sort of distaste for jews.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

It's not about disliking Jews, friend. I actually praise the Jews for their particular brand of nationalism. It's inspiring, and a good example what nationalistically motivated people can archive.
I extensively use the example of Israel against those who say that a unified Turkic state cannot be archived.
But I'm just wondering why America has chosen to protect Jewish nationalism whereas the Jews are more than capable of doing so.

I wish such a state could be archived...right next to"steam engines" and "polyester leisure suits"

Wink Shades LOL, couldn't help myself Mehm.

Because in the 1940's Germany allied with Italy, Austria, Japan, Turkey , and many more started Word War Two which led to the extermination of 12 million people, including 6 million JEWS. So we gave them Isreal back, what would you like us to do? give them Germany?
