Biblically there doesn’t seem to be a reason to protect Israel specifically unless we want to get into a dispensationalism vs. covenant theology discussion.
I think in principle though it is Christian to protect those people who are in desperate need of our protection. Israel is a country surrounded by people who would be happier if it and it’s Jewish citizens were driven into the sea. Which is a stated goal of the PLO.
Anti-semitism is reemerging in Germany and Eastern Europe, and the rest of Europe is once again turning a blind eye to it. The media has made Palestine appear to be an oppressed minority, when anyone with any knowledge of history should realize who the oppressed minority historically and globally really is.
