There are many people that become entrenched in some camp or another, weather is be religion, politics, identity or whatever. People need to be encouraged and taught on how to think for themselves.

If people support Israel because they believe in the word of God, then they should read the word of God. As I explained in a previously posted video, God told the Jews through Moses that Israel should love the strangers in their land.

This is an interesting one because there is the tettragamon but it is not translated as such, I think the vowels or context might make the difference: Check it out: https://www.sefaria.org/Leviticus.19?lang=bi&aliyot=0 and without vowels: https://faithofgod.net/Hebrew/tnk/lev.htm

Here is something of interest, this phrase: לֹ֥א תוֹנ֖וּ אֹתֽוֹ which has been translated a few ways but that's where they get "oppress" or "wrong" from. It's the second word in there: תונו . Would be interesting to get more info on the root and meaning of this word, since this is the activity you're not supposed to do to these strangers in the land. This is pretty imporant, some other words in there like "citizen" or "strangers among you" more interesting phrases, since citizen at least in modern times implies a set of rights which are usually equal to everyone, but we must likely view this through a biblical lense or in those times, whatever that means then. People in Gaza were definitely not treated liek average Israelis, but certain not treated like slaves either, so its important to figure these things out. Give Gazans their own authority to rule themselves but restrict imports and movement from outside their zone? Is that the activity which G-d prohibits? Important questions....

I looked at your links and found confirmation about what God expects us to do to strangers in our land:

The strangers who reside with you shall be to you as your citizens; you shall love each one as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I יהוה am your God.

Regarding God's name, he has many. He is I AM.

Give Gazans their own authority to rule themselves but restrict imports and movement from outside their zone?

God said those that divide the land are cursed, so no, the people of Gaza should not create their own nation on the land that God designated as being for Israel. God himself will fight against those that divide his land among themselves. Instead, the nation of Israel should treat the people of Gaza as their own citizens.

How is that any different to what currently happens in Israel? 20% of the population is Muslim and they have a party in the parliament.

Many Americans are ignorant about Muslims living in the land of Israel. Instead, they assume they are all Jews, and that is the sole reason they support Israel, not knowing they are also supporting Muslims. But most people think to support Israel means to send them machines of war, soldiers, and funding for their military. God was clear when he told Moses (who Muslims also revere) that Israel should love the strangers in their land. We should support love in Israel. We should encourage people to forgive each other, be reconciled, and let us help the poor and needy of the land. And tell them their long-awaited Messiah has already come, whom the Muslims reject as being the Lord God, and whom the Jews sought to kill.
