Netanyahu Thanks Christian Supporters

[JI7]

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel appreciates Christian support as it fights to stop rocket attacks from Gaza.

The Israeli leader spoke by video link to thousands of members of Christians United for Israel at their annual conference in Washington.

Netanyahu said, "You don't fall into the trap of saying, 'Well of course we recognize Israel's right of self-defense' as long as we don't exercise it."

Netanyahu said Hamas and other Islamic groups hate both Jews and Christians, and he told the group that Israel is the only place in the Middle East where Christians are free to practice their faith.

The founder of Christians United for Israel, the Rev. John Hagee (HAG'-ee), said they'll support the people of Israel "now and forever."

1. Well, this Christian says…

…"Fuck you, Bibi."

4. And this Christian and

mid-life seminary student definitely and gladly joins you in that and does NOT support the racist, hateful, murdering warmonger so-called "leader" Bibi who should be bagging groceries at a store somewhere instead of occupying the PM chair.

2. Why support Hagee? He's just a neo-con bigot with a cult following in Texas.

And a lot of fundies still expect Jews to convert at the end, too.
Of course, they have money and voters...

3. Congratulations on your BFF in America, Israel. John Hagee is quite a prize.

On the September 20, 2006, edition of National Public Radio's Fresh Air, Hagee discussed Islam, stating, "those who live by the Qur'an have a scriptural mandate to kill Christians and Jews ... it teaches that very clearly."

...


Despite Hagee's professed "Christian Zionist" beliefs and public support for the state of Israel, Hagee has made statements that some have interpreted as antisemitic.

In his book Jerusalem Countdown, Hagee claims that Adolf Hitler was born from a lineage of "accursed, genocidally murderous half-breed Jews."[43] On page 149 in a chapter with the title 'Who Is a Jew?', Hagee writes:

"It was Esau's descendants who produced the half-breed Jews of history who have persecuted and murdered the Jews beyond human comprehension ... Adolf Hitler was a distant descendant of Esau."[43]

Hagee has attributed the persecution of Jews throughout history, implicitly including the Holocaust, to disobedience, thereby attracting accusations of antisemitism:[44]

"It was the disobedience and rebellion of the Jews, God's chosen people, to their covenantal responsibility to serve only the one true God, Jehovah, that gave rise to the opposition and persecution that they experienced beginning in Canaan and continuing to this very day ... Their own rebellion had birthed the seed of antisemitism that would arise and bring destruction to them for centuries to come ... it rises from the judgment of God upon his rebellious chosen people."[45]

But, he hisses Israel's ass, so he's good people.

5. Bibi

It is a testament to how Bibi has bastardized and stained Israel's and world Jewry's history, reputation and tradition that his only ally on the planet is now the Evangelical Right here in the US. To all the student trolls (subsidized by the Government of Israel) who post here, I would like to point out that, according to Hagee and his ilk, once Bibi carries out his mission to facilitate Armageddon and the return of Jesus, all Jews will be given a rather short window in which they must either accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior or be damned to fry eternally in Hell. Talk about a devil making a deal with the Devil!!!
