Hi peoplez !
An interesting comment by a reader in response to this article
by Max Blumenthal:
"These Zealots are a danger to Humanity. Thanks for exposing them,
because it is their dreams of "Heaven" that is bringing us to *HELL*
on earth.
Agape, dap "
Amen to that, peoplez !!!

Rapture Ready: The Unauthorized Christians United for Israel Tour
Posted July 26, 2007 | 02:20 AM (EST)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On July 16, I attended Christians United for Israel's annual
Washington-Israel Summit. Founded by San Antonio-based megachurch
pastor John Hagee, CUFI has added the grassroots muscle of the
Christian right to the already potent Israel lobby. Hagee and his
minions have forged close ties with the Bush White House and members
of Congress from Sen. Joseph Lieberman to Sen. John McCain. In its
call for a unilateral military attack on Iran and the expansion of
Israeli territory, CUFI has found unwavering encouragement from
traditional pro-Israel groups like AIPAC and elements of the Israeli
government.
But CUFI has an ulterior agenda: its support for Israel derives from
the belief of Hagee and his flock that Jesus will return to Jerusalem
after the battle of Armageddon and cleanse the earth of evil. In the
end, all the non-believers - Jews, Muslims, Hindus, mainline
Christians, etc. - must convert or suffer the torture of eternal
damnation. Over a dozen CUFI members eagerly revealed to me their
excitement at the prospect of Armageddon occurring tomorrow. Among the
rapture ready was Republican Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay.
None of this seemed to matter to Lieberman, who delivered a long
sermon hailing Hagee as nothing less than a modern-day Moses.
Lieberman went on to describe Hagee's flock as "even greater than the
multitude Moses commanded."
Throughout CUFI's Israel Summit, videographer Thomas Shomaker and I
were hounded by PR agents seeking to prevent us from interviewing
attendees about the End Times. The conference, we were told, was about
"one message" - evangelical Christians supporting Israel. We were
instructed to only interview CUFI leaders capable of sticking to the
talking point that their support for Israel has, as Hagee declared,
"nothing to do with the End Times." But I was forbidden from asking
Hagee about statements he made in his book, "Jerusalem Countdown,"
that appeared to blame Jews for their own persecution. After doing
just that during a press conference, I was removed from the conference
by off-duty DC cops summoned by members of Hagee's family.
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. See for
yourself.
