The right wing tells us they are patriot and the left wing is anti-American. Well, check this out, found at antiwar.com....
......Kay Arthur, a popular "Christian Zionist" author and minister, at the convention of the National Religious Broadcasters:
"Perhaps the most startling moment of the morning was an appearance by popular Christian Zionist author, Kay Arthur of Precepts Ministries. 'I love America,' Arthur said, her voice quivering with emotion. 'But if it came to a choice between Israel and America, I would stand with Israel.' While the crowd applauded tepidly, I looked around and saw more than a few faces cringing with embarrassment. Arthur went on to read excerpts from the Book of Revelations, painting a surreal image of Jesus seated in a throne floating above Jerusalem, rapturing all the world’s true believers up to Heaven. She left the fate of unreconstructed Jews to the imagination.".......
If this is what the republican right wing, the Daniel Pipes, the David Horowitz, the Anne Coulters, the Michele Malkin mean by the right wing is more pro-America than anything on earth, then I am glad I am an independent.
Of course it doesn;t end with that UnAmerican Statement at this evangelical convention, of course a few Israelis had to take advantage of the situation....
From the Jersusalem Post...
...."The state hasn't done enough to reach out to our strategic partners, the Christian lovers of Israel," Elon said. "Whoever knows the Bible is aware that our role is to be a light unto the nations, so it is our responsibility to reach out to the Christians as part of our redemption process."
Elon blamed the lack of outreach to Christians on a combination of the troubled history of Christian anti-Semitism, an exaggerated fear of missionaries and what he called "the cynical political reasons of people not on the Right." He said that as a rabbi, he had no problem talking to evangelicals, because "I am secure with my Judaism and I know who my messiah is."
The book, which focuses on the religious and historic ties between the state of Israel and the Jewish people, is set to reach bookshelves across America in April, just in time for the struggles expected in the summer over Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's unilateral disengagement plan. Thousands of Christians are expected to come to Israel to protest the Gaza Strip withdrawal.
In a chapter on the political situation in Israel, Elon reminds readers that Gaza is mentioned in the Bible more than 20 times and that the prophets Jeremiah, Amos, Zephaniah and Zachariah prophesied about Gaza.
"Gaza was clearly part of the biblical land grant to Israel and God has a plan for Gaza and its inhabitants in the future," Elon wrote. "As the preparations for this withdrawal increase, please keep the inhabitants of Gaza and northern Samaria in your hearts and prayers. The people of the book have a responsibility to uphold and protect the covenant between God and Israel."
The book highlights anti-Christian theology in Islam and contains a list of Palestinian Authority brutality toward Christians. A picture on the back cover of the book shows Muslims praying on the Temple Mount with their backs to Jerusalem, while others show Arabs destroying Joseph's Tomb in Nablus.....
And the media, the so-called liberal media has nothing to say about this!
