Hostage says Hamas wanted Kamala Harris to win and that they fear Trump

Netanyahu himself said so.

U.S. Aid to Israel in Four Charts

Israel has long been the leading recipient of U.S. foreign aid, including military assistance. That aid has come under heightened scrutiny amid Israel’s conflicts with Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran.

It sounds like you are of the world rather than of God.

There are like 1.9% of Christians in Israel. One of the lowest in the world. And the majority of them are Arab Christians, anyway.

Oh, well. ARAB Christians. We certainly can't count them.

Not as Jews, no. There is basically zero Jewish Christianity in Israel.

What in the world is a "Jewish Christian?"

You can guess.

You mean the "messianic" fundamentalists who like to pretend they are Jews?

No, I mean what I wrote.

What in the world is a "Jewish Christian?"

Someone who lived in the Roman provinces of Syria or Judea?

 

[Aryeh Jay]

What in the world is a "Jewish Christian?"

The same as the Islamic Christians and the Christian Muslims. A unicorn.

Being Jewish is more than Judaism. If you are a descendant of the people of Israel, you are a Jew. If you also have accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, you are a Jewish Christian.

Still on that victory lap, I see.

Yeah, but can I guess correctly what you mean by it? It'd be faster if you would just say.....

I thought that made you an Israeli (Israeli-American, etc.), just like being descended of the people of people of Germany makes you German (German-American, etc.)

Tschüß

You can call them either. Of course, a Jew who is descended from Germans and is a Christian would be a German Jewish Christian.

The problem with your odd definition (back two posts) is that most Jews aren't descended from people who lived in the State of Israel.

The context of the conversation was treating Israel as God's people. I pointed out that only about 1.8% of inhabitants of Israel are Christians. And most of them are even Arab Christians, i.e. immigrants. Christians from Jews (i.e. Jewish Christians) are basically 0%, there.

Therefore, it is nonsensical and absurd to call the modern state of Israel God's people, from the Christian perspective.

Jews are descendants of the 12 tribes Israel or more precisely "Judea".

Right. We're doing good work here, telling other people who they really are. We need more practice, though. We told Palestinian Muslims who they really were but they don't seem to be buying it. Maybe if we told them louder?

There is some not very reliable way to prove that somebody is from the tribe of Levi, based upon common Y-chromosome, but this is not a 100% proof.

Regarding the other tribes, the genealogies and connections have been lost for millennia. Historical exiles and assimilation have erased clear lineage records. Jewish genealogy can often be traced back a few centuries, but going back to tribal affiliation from biblical times is not possible with current evidence.
