Nothing 4 Nothing

Many Christians I know tell me that God gave the Jews Israel, that they are His chosen people, and that is why Pres. Bush is on their side. Being a Christian myself I find this theory hard to believe...God is love and peace, surely He frowns at the aggressiveness Israel has shown in bombing Gaza and Lebanon etc. Lebanon may have kidnapped an Israeli soldier, but does that give Israel the right to bomb and kill hundreds of innocent people? Is that what God would do? I think not. Didn't Christ preach peace?
I came across this news article that explains the misconception we as a Christians have about Israel...Read it and think.

I'm not "into" religion or politics, but the more I read about this war and the war in Iraq the angrier I become.
