Americans must prepare to send their sons and daughters to “fight and die” for Israel, according to a prominent rabbi speaking on an AIPAC stage. According to the rabbi, dying for Israel is the purpose of the Gentile.
“We Jews are God’s chosen people,” said Rabbi Shimon while addressing the AIPAC audience. “The Gentiles must learn their purpose in life is to fight and die for Israel.”
Notably, the audience did not disagree with the provocative take.
Prominent U.S. politicians, including Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), have voiced strong theological and strategic support for Israel that aligns with the disturbing Israel First sentiments expressed in the video.
Graham, a longtime champion of the U.S.-Israel alliance, has repeatedly framed American backing for Israel in near-biblical terms.
“If America pulls the plug on Israel, God will pull the plug on us,” Graham has declared in public remarks, explaining that he is prepared to sacrifice the lives of as many U.S. soldiers as necessary to gain control of Iran’s oil.
