Evangelicals to push for more SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL
Will lobby Capitol, White House
By Julia Duin
The Washington Times
More than 3,000 pro-Israel evangelical Christians will be in town next week for a "Washington/Israel summit" to push the Bush administration toward stronger support for the Jewish state.
Starting with a banquet July 18 at the Hilton Washington and visits to Capitol Hill the next morning, the inaugural gathering of Christians United for Israel (CUFI) will showcase a deeper cooperation between evangelical Christians and Jews in the face of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's suggestion in October, often reiterated since, that Israel "be wiped
off the map."
Organizers say Israeli Ambassador Daniel Ayalon, retired Israeli defense chief Lt. Gen. Moshe Yaalon and Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman -- all of whom are Jewish -- will be at the dinner. Several members of Congress also are scheduled to attend, including Republican Sens. Sam Brownback of Kansas and Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, both Catholics.
Leading evangelicals that have confirmed their invitations include the Rev. Jerry Falwell and Gary Bauer.Their host will be Texas evangelist the Rev. John C. Hagee, pastor of the 18,000-member Cornerstone Church in San Antonio and author of "Jerusalem Countdown," a 2006 book about a nuclear-armed Iran."There's a new Hitler in the Middle East," Mr. Hagee said in an interview. "He's talking about killing Jews. He will have the ability to do so with nuclear weapons.
"I believe that the president of Iran fully intends there to be a nuclear holocaust. The only way he will be stopped will be by a pre-emptive military strike in Iran."The United Nations condemned Israel when it launched a pre-emptive strike in 1981 against Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's nuclear program by bombing the Osirak nuclear reactor. Mr. Hagee said American evangelicals must provide cover for Israel in the case of a pre-emptive attack -- "as a last resort," he specified -- on Iran."We are not going to be silent," he said. "We are organizing Christians from coast to coast to express themselves in the support of Israel. I don't believe Congress has a clue how much grass-roots support for Israel exists in the evangelical community."
=========================================================
+ NOTE: Now is the time for true Christians to take a stand! The time for "political correctness" is over! America as a nation must now be united against enemies of Israel like never before! If we fail to support the "chosen people" in this time of conflict, our fate will be worse than theirs!
The IDF has been completely justified in all that has been done to eradicate enemy strongholds in recent days! Those who condone, encourage, propagandize, or exploit these events for political or monetary reasons better hope they are on the same page as God! This is the beginning of a "shaking" that will separate the chaff from the wheat! The "dividing line" between nations will become very clear in coming weeks.
President Bush needs to take off the velvet gloves, put our diplomatic agenda aside, and order the military to impose themselves in the Middle East in a strong -- "symbolic" way -- to impress the world with our determination to support Israel. Any sign of weakness by the United States will result in further erosion between the sons of Abraham!
We can now expect APEC to assert itself for the purpose of holding us back! If we buckle under because of economic issues raised over diminishing shipments or increased prices of crude oil, the next big event will be "nuclear" rather than a few suicide bombers or missiles.
Even though the sun might be shining, life might seem normal, and we are thinking everything will be okay in our own little part of the world, the "flame" has been lit and the "fuse" is burning!
