That's what Scripture says. However, it also demonstrates that God has seen fit to allow his people several rounds of being curb-stomped themselves in the past. It all depends on whether the Jews have been holding up their end of deal. If they haven't been keeping their noses clean, all bets are off about Divine protection. The Vinegrower is ever ready with the pruning shears.
The pedophile organization on Weiner's laptop should tell them who is who. And I would almost bet my life that Israel has not been holding their end of the bargain. We help them and they control our policy. I've been tired of it since reading about it as a kid.
Well, according to Scripture, you don't. God handles that:
Tares among Wheat
24 Jesus presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven [a]may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed [b]tares among the wheat, and went away. 26 But when the [c]wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the tares became evident also. 27 The slaves of the landowner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? [d]How then does it have tares?’ 28 And he said to them, ‘An [e]enemy has done this!’ The slaves *said to him, ‘Do you want us, then, to go and gather them up?’ 29 But he *said, ‘No; for while you are gathering up the tares, you may uproot the wheat with them. 30 Allow both to grow together until the harvest; and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather up the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them up; but gather the wheat into my barn.”’” - Matt 13:24-30
44 But I tell you, love your enemies. Pray for those who treat you badly. 45 If you do this, you will be children who are truly like your Father in heaven. He lets the sun rise for all people, whether they are good or bad. He sends rain to those who do right and to those who do wrong. 46 If you love only those who love you, why should you get a reward for that? Even the tax collectors do that. - Matt 5:44-46
The "love" from that verse is agape, which is not the same as philia, which means affectionate regard or friendship. Aquinas describes agape as "to will the good of another", which could include reform by just punishment.
True. And here's what agape looks like. Rather than justly punishing them, Jesus submitted himself to the Jews, despite their bullshit. He also required his disciples to do so.
“Stop judging, that you may not be judged. 2For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you." -- Matt 7
Not at the synagogue with the whip and the "moneychangers". (Matthew 21:12)
Not when they tried to stone him for identifying with Elohim. (John 8:59)
He also required his disciples to do so.
You mean Matthew 23? This has been criticized by Francis Beare, and is inconsistent with principle that followers or subjects are punished for the sins of their leaders.

With US being a powerful nation, I wonder what the ripples of this "storm" will bring to the other nations. This is probably an interglobal mafia.

If not for American taxpayer welfare and protection the Palestinians would stomp the jews like Hezbollah did in Lebanon 2006

Negative. The Jewish state is protected by God. Call me a shill, but whoever comes against them will get curb stomped.

Scripture talks about false Jews. How do do you distinguish who is who?

Paedophilia is just one kind of predatory behaviour, there are others.

How do the workers know what to bind and what to put in the barn?
in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour. Lev 19:15
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. John 7:24
