 A Resolution Regarding Israel from Pro-Israel Christian Leaders
SUBJECT OF RESOLUTION: Toward a new US/Israel policy
SUBMITTED TO: Senator John McCain
WHEREAS, Christian Zionism supports the modern State of Israel as a partial fulfillment of God’s covenant promise to provide a national homeland for the Jewish people in anticipation of their ultimate redemption when Messiah comes; and
WHEREAS, These God-decreed covenants have an everlasting validity and relevance for the modern State of Israel; and
WHEREAS, The legal validity of the modern State of Israel has been established by international law in The Balfour Declaration of November 1917, and The British Mandate formalized at the League of Nations in July 1922, the United Nations partition resolution of 1947, the official recognition of the State of Israel by United States in May of 1948 and Israel’s admission to the United Nations in 1949; and
WHEREAS, Since its birth as a nation Israel has been under relentless attack by Arabs and Palestinians whose goal is not peace with Israel but its total annihilation; and
WHEREAS, The various peace proposals advanced by the United States, including the administration’s “Land for Peace” to be implemented by a “Two-State Solution,” have been historically and factually verifiable failures; and
WHEREAS, These failures have been a result of a dysfunctional denial of the stated goals of Palestinian Jihadists and other Iran sponsored terrorist groups such as Hezbollah to destroy Israel, including the continuing efforts to appease Israel’s enemies by requiring Israel to give up land for peace; and
WHEREAS, There can be no realistic expectation of regional peace until Palestinian Jihadists are defeated, disarmed and their terrorist infrastructure dismantled; therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the administration’s “Road Map to Peace” with its “Land for Peace” and “Two-State Solution” be deemed unworkable and allowed to lapse; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a serious and engaged consideration be given to a new US/Israel policy that would be comprehensive and practical in dealing with the realities on the ground as well as honoring of God’s covenant promises to Israel. (e.g. Please see “The Israeli Initiative”).
