Evangelicals feel a responsibility to proselytize. That’s who they are. You shouldn’t fault them for that. They mean well, unlike the ignorant savages who want to saw all of our heads off on video.

You may not share their religious beliefs, but you definitely share their beliefs about Zionism. Those people are standing up for Israelis. You should respect them even if you don’t support all their beliefs. They care about you, even if you don’t care about them.

So do I. Think about it.

the “mainline” Protestant Churches you listed are a distinct minority in this country. There are far more self identified “Evangelicals,” and they overwhelmingly consider themselves Christian Zionists. They are the best friends Israel ever had, whether Israelis choose to accept that or not.

As for the Methodists, their fringe Churches and some of their leaders are anti-Semitic, but most of them are not.

The Episcopalian and Presbyterian Churches are repulsive. Luckily, they’re a small minority in decline. The Episcos get most of their anti-Semitism from England, which has always been a bastion of that brand of hatred.

Catholic Churches in America are getting pretty bad in some cases, but the Latino population they cater to don’t truck with anti-Semitism.

Things aren’t as bad as you think.

Yes, just like a blind pig, even Grumpy finds a truffle now and then.

George J - “Religious Christians in America are typically pro-Israel.” — unless you count the leadership of the Methodist, Episcopalian, Presbyterian and other mainline Protestant churches, or the entire American Society of Friends.

I don’t recall getting a satisfactory answer. As to our choice in November, as a lifelong Democrat I never thought I’d do it, but I exect to be voting Republican for president this year.

are you beginning to get it? Senator Obama is a hopeless anti-White racist–despite the fact that he’s every bit as much White as he is Black–probably more so.

A vote for him is a vote for the terrorists. BELIEVE IT.

Easy answer - he approves of it, but he has been crafty enough to avoid saying it.

Of course I speak about the one and only Haj-amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, the same Husseini that Yasir Arafat tried to plant into his own family tree! How does Rev. Jeremiah Wright come to grips with the gruesome fact that the Grand Mufti collaborated with the Nazi SS in Yugoslavia during World War II to wipe out the Jews by means of the notorious Hanzar Brigades?? Of course, we don’t hear anything about that from the liberal “Messiah” Obama and his mentor, the Jew-hating bigot Jeremiah Wright.

Further to your comments- remember UNGA resolution 3379 (Zionism is racism resolution)? effectively the int’l community encouraged Israel into relationships with pariah states like SA (combined with the Arab boycott etc) by proclaiming its national identity was racist

Palestinian grievances against Israel, largely founded in fact

Facts? Really? The core palestinian grievance is the existence of Israel. The rest is intended for gullibles like you.

*Israel and the US were the closest allies to the white supremacists of South Africa.

Have you or Wright stopped to consider WHY and HOW Israel came to have a relationship with SA? When the arab boycott ended up scaring all the western dhimmies from dealing with israel, they did not leave it much choice.

Thnink of the middle agges when the jews were not allowed into any professions and ended up lending money and were later accused of being avaricious. It is a known pattern.

The amount of ignorance is amazing.

The ethnic bomb thing is absurd, and there are three hyperbolic or questionable statements. Most of the piece is a rather standard statement of Palestinian grievances against Israel, largely founded in fact.

TUCC’s blasé attitude toward silly conspiracy theories, which apparently abound among black Americans, is hardly to its credit, and tends to cast the causes it supports in disrepute.

If you can’t find Sen. Obama spouting conspiracist nonsense, you can tag him as a goo-goo liberal internationalist, which he appears to be, but not as an apologist for jihad. What a choice we have–the UNICEF-card internationalist would-be Messiah, the relentless apparatchik would-be National Nanny, and the last-in-his-class would-be Gen. Kong whom one can imagine singing “Bomb, bomb Iran” as he rides the Big One down the chute.

It would be helpful if Obama gave a speech reminding us of the role Jews played in establishing the NAACP, in going to Mississippi to fight for voter registration, etc. Obama is the most loved American black in the world, and his words might make a difference. On the other hand, he might lose the votes of leftists if he dared to do so.

Its not all crazy.
