yes we need to pray for the current occupiers of the land of israel, considering in their "holy" books they believe Jesus was a magician that led the people astray. Also in the current land of Israel people under the age of 17 by law are not allowed to hear the words of Jesus Christ. Pray that they give up the mantle of the chief priests for that of Jesus, then maybe they wouldn't kill so indiscriminately, and be counted in the book of life.
