I have to say I support Israel totally. It is a religious and moral imperative for a Christian IMHO. After all the Bible in Genesis
says:
1 The LORD said to Abram: "Go forth from the land of your kinsfolk and from your father's house to a land that I will show you.
2 "I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you. All the communities of the earth shall find blessing in you."
4 Abram went as the LORD directed him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran.
Muslims argue that the Jewish nation is not legitimate but if the above is true, that would mean God is either setting the Jews up for failure or not able to see the future and I believe an all powerful, all seeing God could see the future. So Israel has my support.
Morally it is even easier. Israel was attacked by terrorists, from a country the withdrew from in 2000. The terrorists Lebanon is unable to disarm pursuant to UN Resolution 1559, struck first in a cowardly manner, now Israel seeks to defend herself. I hope she beats them down into nothing. (The Hezzies, not Lebanon in general.) I pray for peace in Israel, but I doubt it will come soon.
