US Evangelist Gives $6 Million to Israel
By BETH MARLOWE – 2 hours ago

JERUSALEM (AP) — American evangelist John Hagee announced donations of $6 million to Israeli causes on Sunday and said that Israel must remain in control of all of Jerusalem.

Hagee, a Christian Zionist who has been in the spotlight lately for endorsing presidential candidate John McCain and criticizing the Catholic Church, brought hundreds of backers on a solidarity trip to Israel.

Hagee and his group, Christians United for Israel, joined keynote speaker Benjamin Netanyahu, the leader of Israel's hard-line opposition Likud Party, at a rally in support of Jerusalem remaining united and under Jewish control.

"Turning part or all of Jerusalem over to the Palestinians would be tantamount to turning it over to the Taliban," Hagee told an audience filled with Americans who waved Israeli flags and cheered.

1. I think a lot of people get frustrated over what

the money they've given to any of the mege - churches is used for. Big homes and expensive cars for a top-heavy pastor-staff is one of my pet peeves. What will the money be used for by Israel? Defense? Attacking Palestinians? A nicer home for someone in government? I wouldn't have given to such a vague cause if I had been a member there.

2. He is not a "chrstian zionist", he wants armagadon. He is not doing it because

he "loves" Israel or the Jews, but because he wants to see all the non-christians destroyed in the final battle

He is a sick twisted man

I am for a two state solution, an Israelli state, and a Palestinian state, with Jerusalem as an open city

4. Good point....

He thinks of Israel the same way Frank Perdue does of his chickens. Raise and nurture till its time for you know what....

6. Hmmm...

and a Palestinian state, <-- that'll work too

with Jerusalem as an open city <-- "ehh, not so much."

3. Jesus "Blessed are the peacemakers."

"Turning part or all of Jerusalem over to the Palestinians would be
tantamount to turning it over to the Taliban," Hagee told an audience
filled with Americans who waved Israeli flags and cheered.

Gotta have that WW III if you want the lake of fire and rapture stuff ....

I wonder if Fox is going to run this 24/7 like Rev. Wright?

5. Hagee is fucking nuts.

He's not doing it for a worthy cause, he wants us all to be destroyed. Personally, I think Purgatory will be a fitting punishment for that fat piece of shit.

Jewish Leader Calls Hagee 'Extremist'

NEW YORK (AP) — The leader of the largest branch of American Judaism said Wednesday that synagogues in the movement shouldn't work with the Rev. John Hagee, a Christian Zionist, calling him an "extremist" on Israeli policy who disparages other faiths.

Rabbi Eric Yoffie, president of the liberal Union for Reform Judaism, said Hagee and his group, Christians United For Israel, reject any Israeli land concessions to achieve peace with the Palestinians.

Reform Judaism supports creating a Palestinian state; Hagee sees a biblical mandate for the territory so End Times prophecy can be fulfilled.

Yoffie also condemned Hagee's views on Roman Catholicism and Islam. The San Antonio pastor has suggested that Catholic anti-Semitism shaped Adolf Hitler, among other comments.

"On Israeli-Palestinian politics, John Hagee and the CUFI are extremists," Yoffie said, in a speech to Reform rabbis meeting in Cincinnati. "In expressing contempt for other religions and rejecting territorial compromise under any and all circumstances, their views run against the American grain."
