Christians United for Israel Tour

July 27, 2007 |

Boing Boing brought to my attention this post which discusses CUFI marching for Israel. The author says,

I have covered the Christian right intensely for over four years. During this time, I attended dozens of Christian right conferences, regularly monitored movement publications and radio shows, and interviewed scores of its key leaders. I have never witnessed any spectacle as politically extreme, outrageous, or bizarre as the one Christians United for Israel produced last week in Washington.

You may ask, what do Jewish Israelis think of this type of support? Well, I can tell you. We’re fine with it. Yes, they believe that by supporting us they will eventually bring about our agonizing deaths in a lake of fire along with our fellow unbelievers. So? We think they’re just a bit flakier than a Kellogg’s factory. Frankly, my feeling is, we’ll take whatever we can get. I suppose that on some level it is like a funeral director who invests in Phillip Morris, but since in this case, we’re Phillip Morris, again, I’m fine with it.

I guess that the real question is how come our only supporters are fruitcakes and nutjobs? Must be all that milk and honey flowing everywhere.
