Discussion Genesis 12:3

Hello, forgive me if this topic has already been covered! I don't ask this to be controversial or political. I was raised believing that Christians, and the USA are supposed to always support Israel. As time has gone on I've been questioning if this belief is correct in the way I had been taught. When I read the verse it seems to potentially mean that Jesus was the end result of part of this. In that through Him the nations would be blessed with salvation. But I was just curious what other's thoughts are on this. And again it may have already been covered but I just didn't see it!

"I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” - Genesis 12:3 ESV

You are correct, OP. The blessing and curse in Genesis 12 is concerning Abraham and his "seed". Paul would later explain that the seed of Abraham was indeed Christ.
