Representative Alan Clemmons, supporter of Israel.
 
An excellent resolution was created by South Carolina State Representative Alan D. Clemmons in support of Israel, and H.R. 4339 was introduced and adopted by the House in the State of South Carolina on 6/2/11.  The following is South Carolina's resolution in their support of Israel:

TO COMMEND THE NATION OF ISRAEL FOR ITS RELATIONS WITH THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND WITH THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.  

Whereas, Israel has been granted her lands under and through the oldest recorded deed as reported in the Old Testament, a tome of scripture held sacred and reverenced by Jew and Christian alike, as the acts and words of God; and

Whereas, as the Grantor of said lands, God stated to the Jewish people in the Old Testament, in Leviticus, Chapter 20, Verse 24: "Ye shall inherit their land and I will give it to you to possess it, a land that floweth with mild and honey; and

Whereas, God has never rescinded His grant of said lands; and

Whereas, along with the grant of said lands to the Jewish people, God provided for the non-Jewish residents of the land in commanding that governance must be in one law for all without drawing distinction between Jewish and non-Jewish citizens, as contained in Leviticus 24:22; and

Whereas, the Nation of Israel declared its independent control and governance of said lands on May 14, 1948, with the goal of reestablishing their God-given lands as a homeland for the Jewish people; and

Whereas, the United States of America, having been the first country to recognize Israel as an independent nation and as Israel's principal ally, has joined a close and mutually beneficial relationship with Israel and her people; and

Whereas, indeed, Israel is the United States of America's greatest friend in the Mideast; and

Whereas, the roots of Israel and the roots of the United States are so intertwined that it is difficult to separate one from the other under the word and protection of Almighty God; and

Whereas, there are those in the Middle East who have sought to destroy Israel from its inception as a nation; and

Whereas, those same haters of Israel also hate, and seek to destroy, the United States of America; and

Whereas, the State of South Carolina and the nation of Israel have enjoyed cordial and mutually beneficial relations since 1948, a friendship that continues to strengthen with each passing year.  Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, commend the nation of Israel for its relations with the United States of America and with the State of South Carolina.  

Be it further resolved that the members of this body support Israel in their natural and God-given right of self-governance and self-defense upon their own lands, recognizing that Israel is neither an attacking force, nor an occupier of the lands of others, and that peace can be afforded the region only through a united Israel governed under one law for all people.  

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Speaker of the House of Representatives of each of South Carolina's sister states within the United States of America with the request and recommendation of this body that a similar resolution to that stated herein be proposed within their respective bodies.  

Commentary:  It is amazing how little recognition this resolution has been given throughout the news media.  It was introduced and adopted on 6/2/11, but I am only hearing of it today, 12/19/11.  I will be doing research to try to discover if any of the other states have adopted this outstanding resolution passed by South Carolina.  The resolution is absolute truth, but there are many evil enemies of Israel lurking to attack any such rising support of Israel, not only in the Middle East, but that sinister hate slithers here among us in the United States.  It is foretold in the scriptures for the last days, and we are living in the last days:  "It will come to pass in that day that I (God) will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Israel" Zechariah 12:9.  "I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle and the city will be taken, and the houses rifled and the women ravished and half the city will go into captivity, and the residue of the people will not be cut off from the city" Zechariah 14:2.  The scriptures further explain that God Himself will fight against those nations that come against Israel and He will destroy them in the last battle of the age, the battle of Armageddon (Joel 3).  When President Barack Hussein Obama openly stood against Israel earlier this year, to suggest that Israel be divided and apportioned to the Palestinians, this very act was prophecy fulfilled before our eyes, Israel's major ally betraying him, as prophesied by Zechariah.  Nevertheless, there are many God-fearing people in the US, who are taking a stand for Israel, and until the Lord takes us up (1 Thessalonians 4:17), we will continue to stand and fight for Israel, God's firstborn, God's elect.
