I suppose you are in agreement with such views as these?:
CURSE THOSE THAT CURSE ISRAEL:
“...It was because the Roman Cornelius of Caesarea was good to the Jews that Cornelius was the first Gentile to receive the gospel......
I do not think it is possible to be a good Christian and not stand with Israel and the Chosen People.”

“God’s blessing upon a people and nation will
depend on how they treat Israel. God promised this to Abraham, the Father of the Jews.....”

Blessed Be Israel
“The descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (the Jewish people) are the people mentioned in Genesis 12:3 by which God brings blessings and/or cursings upon individuals, as well as nations, yes, even today.”

Christians in support of the nation of Israel
“The Bible calls for us Christians to pray for and support the nation of Israel. Genesis 12:3 gives us this commandment from the Almighty God:...“

“Criticism of Israel and of the United States for supporting it leaves evangelicals unmoved. If anything, it only strengthens their conviction that the world hates Israel because "fallen man" naturally hates God and his "chosen people."
In standing by Israel, evangelicals feel that they are standing by God -- something they are ready to do against the whole world. Thus John Hagee....." "God's policy toward the Jewish people," Hagee writes, "is found in Genesis 12:3," and he goes on to quote the passage about blessings and curses.
"America is at the crossroads!" Hagee warns. "Will we believe and obey the Word of God concerning Israel, or will we continue to equivocate and sympathize with Israel's enemies?"

Those who curse Israel.. The USA?
“..... We also need to be praying that God will show
Obama and Clinton along with other government leaders that
they will finish off the USA if they continue down their path to force Israel to obey them.”

America is now experiencing the consequences (curses) of Middle East policies which have been opposed to God's Word and to the preservation of His covenant land....this country's participation in Israel's destiny has been flawed when put in context of Holy Scripture.... if this nation continues to support the Mitchell Plan, affirming a land for peace approach, America can expect to experience the lifting of the Lord's protective hand in an even greater measure.

“By seeking sanction against Iran, Christians are attempting to be “salt” in preserving Israel and the entire region from bloody conflict......Where is all the support for
Israel, God's chosen Land, and for the Jewish people, His chosen people? Genisis 12 says...”

The promise falls to all spiritual Jews whose mother is the Jerusalem that is above:
neither, because they are Abraham`s seed, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
That is,
it is not the children of the flesh that are children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for a seed. Ro 9:7,8
There is a general GROSS misapplication of Gen 12:3 to physical Israel instead of to spiritual Israel, to which it applies, i.e. “Now
to Abraham were the promises spoken, and
to his seed. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed,
which is Christ..... And
if ye are Christ`s, then are ye Abraham`s seed, heirs according to promise” [Gal 3:16,29] The promises pertain to the Church of Christ, not to physical descendants of Abraham.
Just as Abraham's faith was accounted to him for righteousness BEFORE circumcision (Gen 15:6), so was this promise (Gen 12:3) made to him BEFORE circumcision. Paul brings out the significance of that in Romans 4:
9 Is this blessing then pronounced upon the circumcision, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say, To Abraham his faith was reckoned for righteousness.
10
How then was it reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but
in uncircumcision:
11 and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision; that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned unto them;
12 and the father of circumcision to them who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham which he had in uncircumcision.
13 For
not through the law was the promise to Abraham or to his seed that he should be heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith.
14 For
if they that are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of none effect:
Unconditional support for Israel is foolish. Unconditional support for any foreign country is dangerous for the U.S..
