>Just to be clear I did not say the goal is to destroy Israel. I merely agreed that the destruction of Israel is MENTIONED in the Bible - as well as the destruction of many other people - including Christians. Twist it how you want - but - the destruction of Israel is not the goal!

Please read Jim Nelson's response. He states the issue beautifully. I can't add anything more to it to make it more clear.

Christians, as a whole are nice people. Law-abiding and helping their neighbors. Fundamentalists, (meaning people that take the bible literally) as you just saw are not, as they need/want the destruction of a people in order to achieve their goal. That is also known as genocide. If that is OK with you, then you are just part of it and come the time of the Rapture, whenever that is, you'll be as guilty as anybody else that commits atrocities. Call it what you want. You can't have it both ways.
