Please respond and discuss. If Yes, then WHY? What's the payoff?

1. Post WWII Holocaust a homeland for Jews was viewed as necessary

Just as the motto 'Never Again' appears to have been necessary for survival.

2. I answered Yes because it's not just about the oil

this administrations fanatical march towards Armageddon is behind this too....* is a true Jim Jones kind of believer and his flock thinks he is the one to deliver them...Of course oil and greed is the other reason...

5. Third Temple madness is behind a lot of this too btw

Read End Times Delusions by Steve Wohlberg for example

and Grace Halsell's Forcing God's Hand.

Misinterpretation of scripture leading to a 'required' Third Temple is simply a provocation to Muslims.

See PBS's Impact of the millenium article re a Third Temple and the accompanying madness

4. Israel and Big Oil are fellow travelers...for now...

Both want regime change in Syria/Iran.

But, once borders are redrawn and Big Oil wants the chaos to end so that the drilling and pumping can start, watch how fast Big Oil drops Israel.
