2. US Support for Israel has brought a blessing on America!
The USA supports Israel.
The USA ever since it began to support Israel has become stronger
and wealthier despite objective external factors indicating that matters should be otherwise.

The USA has been blessed because of its support for Israel.
This was the noblest deed of their entire history
and something they and their descendants will always be able to look back upon with pride.
God bless America!

AND I WILL MAKE OF THEE A GREAT NATION, AND I WILL BLESS THEE, AND MAKE THY
NAME GREAT; AND THOU SHALT BE A BLESSING:

AND I WILL BLESS THEM THAT BLESS THEE...
AND IN THEE SHALL ALL FAMILIES OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED
[Genesis 12:2-3].
