Because there is a spiritual perspective.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the prophet Balaam pronouncing God\u2019s blessing on Israel. Not only that, but those nations who stand with Israel God will bless, and those who work against that nation God will curse:<br \/>\n<b>Numb 24:9b Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The theme persists. Centuries later, the prophet Zechariah reported that in the day of the LORD, God himself will:<br \/>\n<b>Zech 14:2a &#8230; gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken,<\/b><\/p>\n<p>He goes on:<br \/>\n<b>Zech 14:3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2>Nations under a curse<\/h2>\n<p>Out of that, an argument can be made that any nation which recognises a Palestinian State without Israeli acceptance is cursing Israel and putting itself under a curse.<\/p>\n<p>The word of God appears to say that in order for blessing from on high to fall upon the United Kingdom, for example, we must stand with Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Being constitutionally a Christian nation we must also support Christian brothers and sisters both sides of the divide in the Holy Land, but recognising Palestinian statehood does not do that either.
