If I was a non believer I might say to myself "if these are Jesus' friends I don't want to get mixed up in that" To non believers I would ask that you give the book of Matthew a good thorough reading and ponder the miracle of the return of the Jewish nation in 1947. Isaiah 66:8 "Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once?" The Jewish people are a miracle, a world power militarily, and financially and something big is happening.
Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
