Christ’s biological family is being murdered,” Heaton told Streit. “Our savior’s biological family, the Jewish people, are being murdered. We need to stand for them. We are grafted into Israel by the graciousness of God, so we need to stand for them.”
Heaton elaborated on why Christians should support Israel, and why she believes the Catholic Church isn’t speaking out enough about the Israel-Hams war.
The The Middle star said she thinks the Church’s reasoning is: “Well, if we say we support Israel, what about the Palestinians who are being harmed?”
“And, yes, we have to pray for the Palestinians who are being harmed, because they voted in leaders who went and told their their army to slaughter innocent Jews,” Heaton said. “That’s why they’re being harmed, so we have to speak against that.”
“It is not Israel’s fault,” the actress continued. “Hamas started a war, Israel’s defending Israel and Israelis and Jews, and so Hamas has to deal with what they started. And we have to be very strong about that.”
