Commemorating the one-year anniversary of the US moving their embassy to
Jerusalem, US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman declared that “Israel is on the side of God,” calling that a “secret weapon that not too many countries have.”
This sort of declaration is not unheard of among some varieties of
Christianity within the United States. It has not, however, ever been a
stated aspect of US policy, and Friedman’s comments suggest it is part
of what is driving US policy toward Israel in general, including the
embassy relocation.
PLO officials view this declaration as an extremely negative sign for
already struggling US-Palestinian ties. PLO negotiator Hanan Ashrawi
asked where placing Israel on the “side of God” leaves the rest of the
world, while former chief negotiator Saeb Erekat said that what Friedman
was effectively telling Palestinians, both Christians and Muslims is
that “they’re enemies of God” He added that this had never been the US
position before.
Clearly the US position is changing. Former US Ambassador to Israel
Daniel Kurtzer said that the comments were “extremely inappropriate” for
an ambassador of the United States government to make.
If this article from Makows` site is true then these armageddonists are becoming a big problem.

And they are the Trump base.
Hyper, and Abortion lovers are the base of the demoncrats!! UGH!!
Allowing a woman to have their right to choose what to do with their uterus is not abortion loving.
And once the fetus turns into a baby (after birth – Repubs don’t now the difference between a mass of cells and a baby), the Republicans want to impose misery and suffering on it anyway.
Hyper, You are deceived by evil, and it will destroy you as it has millions of babies, you will be next! You are dancing with the devil, a very bad place to be….wake up!
Abortion doesn’t kill babies. They have to fully develop and be delivered to be babies.
Abortions happen only in the first trimester, 2nd trimester are rare and only to save the mother’s life.
Shouldn’t it be between a woman and her doctor instead of men in the Republican party trampling on women’s rights, and incarcerating women and doctors to please the misogynous base of the authoritarian Republican party?
Abortions are carried out right to the end, and some that survive the abortion are killed by the doctor, fact! Continue to deceive yourself. I don’t want to be you when you are lying on your deathbed, contemplating what comes next, and something will come….
That is one of thousands of Trump lies – he said something like after the baby is delivered, the mother and her doctor decide whether to execute the baby or not. How can grown and seemingly intelligent men fall for the lies Trump tell you guys everyday?
Hyper, you are so mistaken!
Do you really believe all this?
No wonder Trump lies so much, you guys believe everything. A gullible base encourages the cult leader to lie more and more.
Any proof that mothers and doctors conspire to kill their babies after birth or abortions happening in third or 4rth trimester other than for some real medical emergency?
“I don’t want to be you when you are lying on your deathbed, contemplating what comes next, and something will come….”
This is what pisses me off about you Jesus freaks. Thinking your beliefs are facts. You don’t know anything more about the supernatural’s existence than anyone else does and talking like you do doesn’t change that.
Jay refuses to buy a dictionary. Baby: Small infant or child.
As long as we’re discussing total fantasy, I can declare that both the USA and Israel are on the side of the tooth fairy, Santa Claus, and unicorns.
What about on the side of mass murder & Genocide……????????
The God of lies, misery & murder.
carl,,That is not the Creator I know,,but sure sounds like the path taken by many, many humans, and the Ghouls of D.C. that enable Israel to do it’s very dirty work. Remember the USS Liberty!!
This changes everything. I am now an Israeli firster.
Dang. But understand one has to stand with this god 🙂
O.K. But with who’s God should we stannd?
A God of peace. I’m okay with Brahman as god. Very deep philosophy there.
Me too, I had no idea….
But is this fantasy-God on the side of Israel, that is the question?
Of course this kind of nonsense is to be expected from a dangerously nonsense-driven policy.
The not-so subterranean message is that Iran is not on the side of God.
Back to the Middle Ages folks! We need another Christian Crusade!
Friedman needs to be stripped of his citizenship and deported to Israel. Treasonous SOB.
Along with Sheldon Adelson.
Now, if only the US Ambassador was on the side of the US..
Fire the SOB!!! Well Prez. Trump,,will Ya??????????? No wonder Israel feels it is just fine and dandy to wipe out the Palestinian people and put the entire world in a 3rd world war,,all from their take on the Old Testament. And we support these freaks with 8 billion $ a year with U.S. taxpayer funded money borrowed from banks owned by who…………….?
God(s): An aberration born of fear and ignorance that took root in the infantile minds of humans and persists because mankind hasn’t mentally evolved beyond such dependence.
Okay. And atheists are mentally unbalanced.
Atheists, not your garden variety lovers.
N30, No, the problem is with you and the limits you have placed on yourself and your reality.
Calling that moron an Ambassador is an insult to the office. He might have put on daddy’s shoes and hat, but he’s still a brat pretending to be a grownup.
Just like his boss who appointed him.
And just like the vast majority of Americans.
What a cruel and sadistic god it must be to be on the side of Netanyahu.
The ambassador’s statement is true if your God is Satan.
Yup, Yahweh is on Bibi’s side.
Pronounced Yayhoo
This is an example of a new idea I had…Universities should be able to revoke degrees based on willfully ignorant statements.
Dave, you are an enemy of freedom.
Really Jay ? Can you think of a license or credential which is not revocable ?
Interesting that Christian warmongers in the US never ask themselves what would Christ say about what they are doing. They go to church on Sunday with their families then on Monday go back to demonizing or planning to drop more bombs. It is a fantastic demented hypocrisy, a plague on humanity.
Arius, Not the vast majority of true Christians are “warmongers”. What about peace loving Muslims, atheists, satan worshippers, abortion lovers. “Warmongers are not true Christians, nor are whoremongers, abortion lovers, liars or thieves, etc.
Having their god on your side is not a good thing, and the Israelis have been
conquered many times throughout history also. Counting on a gods` protection is foolish. Ask the old South, the Confederacy.

Israel is with the God of Light, Lucifer.
The USA is now apparently a religious cult with a nuclear arsenal masquerading as a country. It doesn’t bode well for the rest of humanity.
The arrogance of USI officials has no bounds.
Stupidity beyond repair.
What Friedman is actually referring to is the Israeli god, Yaweh, who it was known even back in the 1960s via in depth, historical research, was merely a “clan” god who was turned into the “universal” god of the Jews. Yaweh’s place in all of this was the same as the Roman god, Mars; that of war and in Yahweh’s particular case, storms.
Yaweh was quite the “thug” so Friedman is actually correct when he states that Israel is on the side of god. Only problem is, is that Yaweh is not exactly a god you want to befriend…
