The Bible teaches that God has a special place in His heart for the Jewish people and Israel (despite their sins). God calls them the apple of His eye (Deut 32:10 and Zech 2:8). The Old Testament (and New Testament) are full of teachings, prophecies and practices which show God's amazing love and mercy for His chosen people. Of course it doesn't mean that the Nation of Israel is saved spiritually yet as it is only through Jesus that our sins can be forgiven. John Chapter 1 says that "to all who received Him He gave the power to become the children of God". So all who receive Jesus are Children of God, but God DOES have special promises for Israel and they WILL (as a Nation) choose Jesus again. For this reason He has preserved them as a people for the last 2000 years and now restored as a Nation for the last 62 years. Jesus said that they would not see Him again (second coming) until they say "blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord". Jesus will return only when they (as a Nation) corporately call out for Jesus with those words "blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord".
Because the whole World (and Governments) are under the control of the evil one, it is not surprising that there are satanic agenda's to seek to destroy those God has SPECIALLY chosen. If you look through the scriptures you will see many instances of satan influencing National and World leaders to destroy God's work. Pharoah when Moses was born, Herod when Jesus was born, are two examples. The enemy knows that Jesus will not return until the Nation calls out to Jesus, so he wants to anihilate them totally so that Jesus will NOT return. Of course the enemy will fail and God's purposes will be fulfilled, but woe to those who join up with satan in assisting those who seek Israel's destruction. Those who oppose Israel will be seen to be opposing the God of Israel. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY SERIOUS THING TO DO!!! God will allow the Nations to come against Israel to fulfill His purposes of the Nation's repentance (for Israel to call out for Jesus) but you will not want to be active/part of those who seek Israel's demise in word or deed. As the scriptures teach "Those who bless Israel will be blessed, those who curse shall be cursed".
I would like to refer you to Bob Mitchell's blog website regarding the Gaza Flotilla episode and how it shows the agenda for the World to rise against Israel (totally unfairly and illogically with much deception and lies). Specifically please look at these articles from Bob.
