Reply To: Have you ever been told that supporting Israel prevents you from supporting Palestinians? After taking this course, how would you go about responding to false accusations like this?

I have never been told that supporting Israel prevents me from supporting Palestinians but I have definitely felt it. I was unsure and not knowing how or even if I should support Palestinians. I do beleive Jerusalem belongs to Israel because it is Biblical and the Word of God is living. So it is clear that the land belongs to Israel because the Great I Am said so. But to see the protests, history, war and even biblical promise of the descendants of Ishmael, it makes me wonder, how can I support or even talk about this. Since I have not been heavily educated on the topic I have feared saying anything because I do not have more knowledge- only a biblical basis. So hearing this last audio was extremely enlightening to know what to do, and encouraging. To respond to the second question, I will continue research and understanding the political history of this situation, stand firm on my beleif of Jerusalem belonging to Israel but most importantly praying for discernment and obedience in times I speak to Palestinians. I would love to show them support and let them know that they are not hated, if I could find a way for peace may God help me see. Thank you.
