I wonder if Ben Stein and William Kristol are opposed to Trump because they are Jewish.
An otherwise smart person goes hebe. Bye, bye, Ben.
The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable. ~ H. L. Mencken
Btw, they are so called Jews. They are almost certainly Khazar-Askenazi.
A far cry from King David's line. Not probably blood to anyone of the Heroes of faith in the Old Testament. Or any of the other tribes for that matter.

Whatever they're called, or choose to call themselves, they're no more Jews than you or I. After the Resurrection, there are no more jews or gentiles. I am so tired of writing this truth.

No, not because they are Jewish, but because they are Neocons.
John Howard says: There are 4 schools of economics: Marxism: steal everything Keynesianism: steal by counterfeiting whenever needed Chicago school (Milton Friedman): steal by counterfeiting at a steady, predictable rate Austrians: don't steal
Good point. But before Jesus paid the price there were Jews who looked for in fact longed for and worshipped the Lord God Almighty. The Word of God says many of these are blinded intentionally by God for an appointed day of revelation.

I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin. God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew. Dont you know what Scripture says in the passage about Elijahhow he appealed to God against Israel: Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars; I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me? And what was Gods answer to him? I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal. So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace. And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace. What then? What the people of Israel sought so earnestly they did not obtain. The elect among them did, but the others were hardened, as it is written: God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that could not see and ears that could not hear, to this very day. And David says: May their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them. May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever. Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious. But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their full inclusion bring! I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy and save some of them. For if their rejection brought reconciliation to the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches. If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. You will say then, Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in. Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble. For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either. Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off. And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree! I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, and in this way all Israel will be saved. As it is written: The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob. And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins. As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, for Gods gifts and his call are irrevocable. Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience, so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now receive mercy as a result of Gods mercy to you. For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all. Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor? Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them? For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen. Romans 11:1-36 NIV

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
As Paul wrote, no one can know the mind, the intent, or the purpose of God; so I have to go with what His Son said.
Thank you for the letter to the Romans.

Question: "Will all Israel be saved in the end times?"
Answer: Romans 11:26 plainly says, All Israel will be saved. The question that arises is What is meant by Israel? Is the future Israel literal or figurative (i.e., referring to the ethnic Jews or referring to the Church)? Those who take a literal approach to the promises of the Old Testament believe that the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will be restored to a right relationship with God and receive the fulfillment of the covenants. Those who advocate replacement theology basically affirm that the Church has completely replaced Israel and will inherit Gods promises to Israel; the covenants, then, will be fulfilled only in a spiritual sense. In other words, replacement theology teaches that Israel will not inherit the actual land of Palestine; the Church is the new Israel, and ethnic Israel is forever excluded from the promisesthe Jews will not inherit the Promised Land as Jews per se.
We take the literal approach. The passages that speak of future Israel are difficult to view as figurative for the Church. The classic text (Romans 11:1624) depicts Israel as distinct from the Church: the natural branches are the Jews, and the wild branches are the Gentiles. The olive tree is the collective people of God. The natural branches (Jews) are cut off the tree for unbelief, and the wild branches (believing Gentiles) are grafted in. This has the effect of making the Jews jealous and then drawing them to faith in Christ, so they might be grafted in again and receive their promised inheritance. The natural branches are still distinct from the wild branches, so that Gods covenant with His people is literally fulfilled. Romans 11:2629, citing Isaiah 59:2021; 27:9; Jeremiah 31:3334, says:
And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob. And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins. As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies on your account; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, for Gods gifts and his call are irrevocable.
Here, Paul emphasizes the irrevocable nature of Israels calling as a nation (see also Romans 11:12). Isaiah predicted that a remnant of Israel would one day be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of the LORD (Isaiah 62:12). Regardless of Israels current state of unbelief, a future remnant will in fact repent and fulfill their calling to establish righteousness by faith (Romans 10:18; 11:5). This conversion will coincide with the fulfillment of Moses prediction of Israels permanent restoration to the land (Deuteronomy 30:110).
When Paul says Israel will be saved in Romans 11:26, he refers to their deliverance from sin (verse 27) as they accept the Savior, their Messiah, in the end times. Moses said, The Lord your God will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants, so that you may love him with all your heart and with all your soul, and live (Deuteronomy 30:6). Israels physical inheritance of the land promised to Abraham will be an integral part of Gods ultimate plan (Deuteronomy 30:35).
So how will all Israel be saved? The details of this deliverance are filled out in passages such as Zechariah 814 and Revelation 719, which speak of end-times Israel at Christs return. The key verse describing the coming to faith of the future remnant of Israel is Zechariah 12:10, I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son. This occurs at the end of the tribulation prophesied in Daniel 9:2427. The apostle John references this event in Revelation 1:7. The faithful remnant of Israel is epitomized in Revelation 7:18. These faithful ones the Lord will save and bring back to Jerusalem in truth and righteousness (Zechariah 8:78, NASB).
After Israel is spiritually restored, Christ will establish His millennial kingdom on earth. Israel will be regathered from the ends of the earth (Isaiah 11:12; 62:10). The symbolic dry bones of Ezekiels vision will be brought together, covered with flesh, and miraculously resuscitated (Ezekiel 37:114). As God promised, the salvation of Israel will involve both a spiritual awakening and a geographical home: I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land (Ezekiel 37:14).
In the Day of the Lord, God will reclaim the surviving remnant of his people (Isaiah 11:11). Jesus Christ will return and destroy the armies gathered against Him in rebellion (Revelation 19). Sinners will be judged, and the faithful remnant of Israel will be set apart forever as Gods holy people (Zechariah 13:814:21). Isaiah 12 is their song of deliverance; Zion will rule over all the nations under the banner of Messiah the King.
