You appear to be making a statement rather than asking a question.
The answer is no. A Christian always has free choice. You can actually pick and chose what parts of the bible you believe and reject all the rest. Many Christians do just that.
I do not support all the actions of the nation of Israel nor do I support any particular "politics". I also do not support all the actions of the United States nor do I support all the actions of the Democrats or of the Republicans. I do support the United States as as a sovereign nation and work within that framework to bring about the policies I believe are best. This is not the issue.
The issue is prayer for the People Israel. We recognize the absolute connection between God's chosen people, incorrectly called Jews; and the people who recognize Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, the gentile church. The fate of both groups is dependent one upon the other. For gentiles, salvation comes from the Jews. For Jews, salvation comes at the end of the age of the gentiles. The People Israel are all people redeemed by God. We pray for ourselves.
And just a side note, "Arabs" as you use the term are gentiles. As such they have, since Abraham, been able to convert to Judaism. They can also, like all other gentiles, claim redemption through the blood of Yeshua and join God's people though the gentile church.
Reject the policies of Israel as you think best. Reject God's people at your peril.

May I add; we also need to pray for the innocent people of Gaza. These people overwhelmingly elected Hamas to govern them and some of them kidnapped and assisted the kidnapping and murder of Israelis. The majority may still support then yet are surely many innocent victims of this terrorist group who have suffered. We need pray for their safety and their souls.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, amen.
Save, O Lord, and have mercy on Your people Israel. Keep them alive and well in this difficult time of trials and wars, as it is pleasing to Your goodness; so that Your will and Your providence for them, for each of them, and for the whole world, may be fulfilled. For You said to them, "You will not see Me from now on until you cry out: "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!" Therefore we pray to You: bring them to the knowledge of You, their true Messiah, to the successful fulfillment of their role in the world history. May Your plan for them and their salvation be safely completed. Let this be done through the Christian church or some other way known only to You. In Your almighty name we pray for them. Amen.
