I've read the Bible too, Old Testament and New Testament., St. James to NIV. Where is America singled out as the only beneficiary of God's grace? Please cite the verse,

As long as the west negate and don’t selflessly teach the developing world to fish instead of handing them fish it would remain the number one destination

We taught em to grow bananas (read about Chiquita, and the history in Honduras). This was a few decades ago. Read the history, and see how well that went. Similar situations involving dominant western nations (not just the US) in places like El Salvador, Haiti, Brazil, etc
-
Are you talking about United Fruit etc. in Central America enslaving the people,raping the countries of resources,fruit,minerals,gems and the US installing and supporting vicious dictators who protect our interests to the destruction of their own people?
-
Yes, Chiquita is the successor (in the US), to the company that was once known as United Fruit.

And the reason for the term "banana republic"

Funny how they always switch to The Old Testament when it suits them instead of following to actual teachings of Jesus Christ as recorded in The Gospels.pic.twitter.com/XqXh5L627P

But Tony, Jesus isn’t telling the government to do it, he’s telling each one of us individually to do it...What’s so righteous about demanding the rich to feed the poor through the government? There’s no sacrifice in that
-
Each one of us individually is the government. And Jesus doesn't care whether there's a sacrifice or not - he wants the poor to eat.
-
He doesn’t care whether there’s a sacrifice or not? So when He said “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all the others.” He didn’t care about her sacrifice?
-
I think he was mad at the Jewish leaders for tricking her out of her meal money to build their Temple. (He teaches Mark 12: 38-40 right before he notes the widow's mite. "They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.”

Funny how "Rule Of Law" only applies to brown immigrants and not white president's who break marriage vows, commit emoluments violations and coordinate with a hostile foreign entity to influence a presidential election. This guy's a white supremacist.. FULL STOP.

And the fact that seeking asylum IS LEGAL!!! Treating immigrants with dignity and compassion doesn’t equate to open borders.

Jesus said "Love thy neighbor as you would yourself" and said that that was the whole of the Torah in a nutshell.
-
Yeah and i believe he was taking about neighbor in a broader sense than just in the trailer park.
-
Rav Hillel said the same: When asked by someone to teach the whole Torah on one foot, Hillel said, “Do not do to anyone what you would not have done to yourself...The rest is commentary.”
-
And in the same time frame, Rabbi Aviva said, Love thy neighbor as thyself...it’s a major principle of the Torah.” וְאָהַבְתָּ לְרֵעַךָ כָּמוֹךָ – רַבִּי עַקִיבָא אוֹמֵר זֶה כְּלָל גָדוֹל בַּתּוֹרָה
