Reader comment on item: How Church Attendance Affects American Attitudes toward Israel
in response to reader comment: The main reason Christians support Israel
Submitted by Michael S. (United States), Aug 23, 2014 at 04:55
Dave,
You don't seem too familiar with Christians. The vast majority of Christians do not proselytize, yet the vast majority support Israel. Ditto for Messianics. Even in the case of conversions, which of course happen, remember that Judaism is not a confessional religion: If your mother is Jewish, you are Jewish -- now and forever.
