If you want to shed blood for Israel, fine. You know where it is. Go buy yourself a rifle and get on the plane.
Have a Great Morning Ike!

I am having an excellent morning, Dave. Sitting here with the blonde having a cup of coffee...and she's looking as edible as the day I met her when we were both 17. ("She's too cute to be a minute over 17." - Chuck Berry)
I will admit the support from fundamentalist Christians is a bit queer isn't it? I know some of them, like the Salvation Army folks, really believe that Jews are "the chosen". And as a big-time SA elder I once knew used to say, "The only way into heaven is on the coat-tails of a Jew." But I will agree that most of the support from US Christians is political, which I suppose is a shame.
Just please don't leave out all the non-end timer American Jews who are providing financial aid and moral support to their Israeli brethren.
But y'know speaking of "sick of it"...the whole world has been sick of Jews and done it's best to rid itself of Jews in one way or another going back way further than 1946. The 3rd Century BCE in Egypt was a long time ago. So non-Jew humans have had plenty of time to refine their animosity. Typically because Jews have historically been resistant to accept the religious and social standard of whichever predominant culture they were stuck in. Humans don't like that shit much, y'know? Witness the Alexandria slaughter in 38 CE, the Spanish Inquisition, and of course the Holocaust. But what the heck...you want the benefit of being a Jew you gotta accept all that goes with it. And finally the Jews are handed a place of their own so that the rest of the world doesn't have to deal with so many of them anymore (you must know that's what the partition of Israel was really all about)...and, of course nobody likes that either.
"Oy vey ist mir.", as uncle Abe used to say.
