50,000 Baptists Plan Move to Gush Katif

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/news.php3?id=82185


Police believe that 50,000 Baptists are to arrive from the United States in the coming week to take up residency in Jewish communities in Gaza and northern Samaria that are scheduled for evacuation. The police assessment is that the group will try to arrive before the army declares the communities closed military zones.

In related news, the IDF announced it will allow free movement of Knesset members in Gush Katif, even after restrictions are imposed on the entry of Israelis and others, according to Israel Radio.

could this be true?

4. God, I hope so.
And might I add a little pre-emptive "sorry" to the Baptists' new neighbors?

How can we arrange to give them a send-off party?

:rofl:

5. My question is WHERE are they getting the $$$$$$$ for
50,000 people to LIVE in Israel.

I do not know the cost of living in Israel, but let's say it is $1,000 per person per month, with travel, housings, cars etc. That works out to $60 Million per year.....

Who is fronting this money............

9. I was just thinking the same thing.
Maybe about 50,000 could go every six months, every last one of them fundies.

That'd be GREAT. They'd also get to see what it's like to NOT live in the US, thus MAYBE they'd have a clearer world view than they have now, which is so nationalistic they tend to have spittle and froth all over their faces when they're done talking.

8. is there an israeli equivalent of April Fools Day
Cause this story certainly reads like an APril Fools story. If 50,000 Baptists (who, by extension, would have a circle of family and friends that included several hundred thousand) were planning to move to Israel, all in the same week, I think someone would've noticed before now...

10. I don't even care, I'm just relishing the thought of it.
It's a great idea. If the Dominionists are so unhappy here, let them buy some island somewhere and go kill each other there.

12. Master Moon footing the bill
Just conjecture but it wouldn't defy reason for the Moonies to con a bunch of Baptists and pack them into cattle-car configured chartered jumbo jets and fly them to Israel. Hope they enjoy the airport security in TelAviv. LOL

13. That be a lot of airplanes....
Maybe the Baptists want to single-handedly revitalize the slumping air travel industry...

17. It's a cover story for the Rapture
"Where have all the Baptists gone?
Gone to Is-ra-el"

19. I've always been taught that I should pray for my enemy by praying
that they get what they want, only the best for them. So, if this makes them happy, the more power to 'em! Bon voyage!! :hi:
