The Christian Zionist Lie Must Die
By Charles E. Carlson
At first blush, one could hardly characterize the show of power exhibited by John Hagee’s Christian Zionists at his brash Washington Israel Summit in D.C. last week as a dike about to break: 4500 Christian Zionists filled the Washington Convention Center. Senators and Congressmen kowtowed to the crowd for four days. Senator Lieberman likened Hagee to Moses, a “leader of a multitude.” John Hagee was the dealmaker of the hour for Israel, their political rock star, a political money machine. The mere 15 resistors standing outside would not seem to have made much difference.
But a closer look by religion writer Abe Levy reporting in the San Antonio Express-News, Hagee’s hometown newspaper, shows that the Christian Zionist dike is holding back a surging sea of truth and truth-telling. There are cracks. Cracks Hagee will not be able to contain since they are coming from the very people Hagee claims to be saving from holocausts and persecutions.
The first cracks in this Judeo-Christian dike are a few vocal, and significant, Jews and Rabbis critical of Hagee’s Christians United for Israel (CUFI) movement. They are speaking up now in increasing numbers, sometimes from the Temple lectern on Friday nights. Orthodox, Conservative, Hasidic, and Reform Jews are saying they don’t like what they’re hearing from Hagee, and they don’t trust him.
Levy writes: “This issue deeply divides Jews, some of whom, while they praise Hagee’s work to eradicate anti-Semitism, see him as using them as pawns to fulfill Christian prophecy, including the annihilation of most Jews.” Levy continued: “Many of them believe they are living in the final days described in prophetic books of the Bible and that standing with Israel assures them of being on God’s side when it is all said and done.” (more…)
