Glenn Beck works the crowd hard: Christian Zionists unite in D.C. to express support for Israel
Edited on Wed Jul-20-11 07:13 PM by Poll_Blind
From Haaretz:
Prime Minister Netanyahu, speaking via satellite, and news commentator Glenn Beck encourage audience to think of themselves and Jews, Israelis, as one and the same. Over 5000 Christians, mainly Evangelicals, gathered this week at the Convention Center in Washington for the annual conference of the organization CUFI, Christians United For Israel.

--snip--

The prime minister encouraged the conference attendees to not only think of Israel as an ally of the Unites States, but as indistinguishable from it. "Our enemies think that we are you, and that you are us," added Netanyahu. "And you know something? They are absolutely right."

--snip--

News commentator Glenn Beck worked the audience into a frenzy, decrying the historical persecution of Jews, insisting that Israel cannot cede control over territories it controls, and calling upon the conference attendees to declare that they, too, are Jewish. "Jews have been chased out of every corner of this planet," said Beck. "Enough is enough." Beck said that new states can be established, but not at the expense of other states, and that Israel is historically the 'Land of the Jews', implying that Israel should not relinquish control over the West Bank in order to create a State of Palestine.

--snip--

The conference attendees learned that Pastor John Hagee, the founder of CUFI, would be joining Beck for his planned rally in Jerusalem in August.


Oh, and SO much more delicious crazy at the link! Glenn Beck, Benjamin Netanyahu: Two absolutely bat-shit assholes who amplify each other's nonsense to an absurdly-loud mating of Right Wing Americans and Right Wing Israelis.

It's the quickest way to becoming an Honorary Israeli too, apparently!

:crazy:

Special Bonus Crazy: Read the full article to find out how God will turn his back on America if we interfere with the Israeli government's desire to move the capital of the country to Jerusalem. House Republicans doing what they can to Promote God's Will

1. You know...as much money and support we give to Isreal why not
annex it as our newest state? Would solve a lot of problems and not create a single one. Glenn could go live in Jericho and rebuild the walls personally.
