Evangelicals who support a Palestinian state










Blumenthal writes about CUFI's agenda:





  1. I don't think that Jews should fundraise for Israel from non-Jewish groups of any sort, including the US government. Being indebted is not a pretty thing.

    That said, I have zero problem whatsoever with allying with evangelicals in support of Israel. Ther think we're all going to be in the final battle, yadda yadda... who cares? They support the Jews in their just fight for survival and that's all I really have to care about and appreciate. In fact, I voted for Bush simply for that reason - to show my appreviation. Is he an idiot? Sure, but every group in America votes their own interests, why should we support the unknown Kerry against the known support of Bush?



  2. Well, as you can see, I disagree. The support of evangelicals is nice - but what happens when people like Hagee decide we're just not fitting into their end-time scenario, and they turn on us? Also, I'm in favor of a negotiated settlement with the Palestinians which will result in two states for the two peoples - this means giving back a large part of the West Bank, which evangelicals like Hagee are opposed to on religious grounds.

  3. For dessert I recommend that you Google "Powered by Christ Ministries" and indulge in "Roots of (Warlike) Christian Zionism." And tell your friends about it. Flo

  4. I just took a look at the article you recommended - not so bad, but the site it's on has a lot of problems - especially with the links to Ernst Zunel, the notorious Holocaust-denier, and the, a rabidly anti-semitic website.
