My own position on the LFI is that they are the English equivalents of the French Crif and the American AIPAC .
Those I call the "Israel Firsters" are the same tribalist deplorables who believe tax-cutting will produce Free Health Care for all .
One thing for sure, the Palestinien kids who were killed today were not to blame for any of this.

Christians should celebrate what is happening
L,
Today is monumental!
In 1995 the United States Congress passed the Jerusalem Embassy Act, which mandated the United States Israel Embassy be moved from Tel Aviv to Israel’s capital of Jerusalem.
Yet, for 23 years every United States president has signed a waiver to delay the move of the embassy.
However, because of continued pressure from Christians, including thousands from My Faith Votes, President Trump has made a different decision than past presidents. He has chosen to uphold the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 and today the United States Embassy is officially opening in Jerusalem!
This move is extremely important and exciting to Christians because of what scripture teaches us.
Israel is a nation created not by man but by God. The Lord gave the land of Israel to Abraham and his offspring in an everlasting covenant (Psalm 89:28-37). Genesis 12:2 God says to Abraham, “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.”
Israel is the birthplace of our Christian faith. Jesus Christ a Jew came first for His people, then for the Gentiles (Romans 1:16). The Jewish people gave birth to our sacred scriptures, the prophets, the disciples, and apostles. One only has to walk the streets of Israel to see scripture come to life in the Holy Land.
There is a blessing for those who stand with Israel. “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you” Genesis 12:3. There is a blessing in store for the nations who stand in Israel’s defense.
Psalms 122:6 says “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: ‘May those who love you be secure.’”
Pray today for peace in Jerusalem. Just last week Iranian forces in Syria launched rockets towards Israel and many believe the move of the U.S. Embassy could incite additional violence. Pray for Israel’s leaders, their military, and intelligence personnel as they work to combat these attacks.
Israel is a beacon of freedom and prosperity in the midst of a difficult region of the world. They are a nation roughly the size of New Jersey, yet Israel draws the attention of the world because it is the birthplace of our faith.
We thank God for this historic and exciting day to see the United States standing with Israel!
United. We Stand.
