Chad Estes on the Flotilla Debacle in Middle East

I’m not sure if my friend Chad realizes what he’s getting himself into, but in the wake of the flotilla debacle – and after clearly indicting everyone involved – he’s openly taking American Christians to task for blindly supporting Israel in all things:

But my ire today isn’t limited to this current humanitarian/political nightmare. What is really disappointing to me is the automatic support that many Christians give towards ANY actions that Israel takes. Do they equate Israel’s actions to God’s sanctioned will? If so, I’m thinking that is based on some really shoddy Bible study.

It’s important to understand that Chad isn’t saying Israel was ultimately wrong in this case. You might agree with Chad’s overall point and still support Israel’s actions in this case. Take a minute to read Chad’s whole post and comment there.

On Being Called An Anti-Semite

The greatest way to respond to the injustices done against Jews is to stand against injustices committed against anyone, anywhere.

A great statement and a good discussion from Mike Todd about a thorny topic. What are your thoughts on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?
