Just so you know... I am not pro Israel or pro Jew because of politics, personal preference, family ties. I am pro Israel and pro Jewish because I know what the Bible says concerning God's view and relationship and plan for the Jewish people, and I choose to side with God's view. It is a spiritual matter.
The Bible clearly teaches that the enemies of the Jewish people are also enemies of God. If you have been raised or taught or influenced to be a Jew hater, you need to surrender that attitude to God. and denounce the Jew haters around you.
"But," you may say, 'I thought we were suppose to love everyone." YES, a resounding YES. But, there is no Christian hatred for Muslim people, atheists, cultists, Roman religionists or any other people who are enemies of the cross.

Christians hate the false doctrines and evil behavior of these and other groups, but there is no ethnic or racial "group" of people that Christians hate. Yet, the world hates the Jews. The world will blame it on any number of issues, but the world hates the Jews regardless of circumstances. The world hates the Jews because they stand up against Gaza and the entire Muslim world, along with the entire anti semitic nations. Israel is defending itself against monsters, yet the popular, anti-Jew message is that the Jews are the instigators, the invaders, the oppressors. This distortion comes from prejudice.
Of course, people who are anti Jewish also reject the rule of God in their lives in other areas. I call people to a right relationship with God, knowing that it will bring about a right attitude toward the Jewish people. If your religion does not shatter your prejudice and your anger and your disdain for the Jewish people, then you do not have the pure and undefiled religion of New Testament faith and salvation. You need to repent and allow God to work the miracle of love in your heart. You must surrender your hatred for Jews if you want to experience the love and eternal life of Christ.
A Christian view of the Jews is not a blanket acceptance of their evils, whether personal or corporate. Love and recognition of the Jews in the eternal economy of God is not a blank check for whatever ills Israel may do.
But we need to understand that God gave the land to Israel. Not only does Israel have a long standing claim to the land; it was given to them by the Ruler of the universe. To stand against Israel owning their God given land is to stand against God.
