"Christians United" start to mobilize. Oppose any compromise for peace.
Edited on Tue Nov-13-07 11:44 AM by Tom Joad
From a email alert from "Christians United for Israel"

RAPID RESPONSE ACTON ALERT UPDATE
We are proud to announce that in less than two weeks, almost 12,000 CUFI members from every state in the union have sent emails to our President and thousands more have called the White House urging President Bush not to pressure Israel to make territorial concessions in connection with the upcoming Annapolis Summit. Few organizations are able to generate this large a volume of emails and telephone calls. We are off to a very good start!

When you call, please communicate the following three points:

You are calling on behalf of Christians United for Israel.

You are calling to urge President Bush not to pressure Israel to make territorial concessions in connection with the upcoming Annapolis Summit.

You want the Bush Administration to respect the will of the democratically elected Israeli government.

____________________________

CUFI opposes any compromises for peace. We can be sure that the Bush administration, which has shown its contempt for the lives of Arabs around the world, this is not a hard sell. But we can expect this pressure to continue into the next administration. and CUFI is not alone. it is, after all, part of the Israel Lobby (Rev. Hagee was a keynote speaker at the last major AIPAC event in DC, attended by many members of Congress(largest gathering of the house and senate outside actual joint sessions of congress)

Do you think there will be any pressure from any group urging Bush to pressure Israel to compromise (much less respect the human and international rights of Palestinians)?

From where?

Edited to add:
there are other Christian voices on the issue:

And other Jewish voices as well:

1. It's unlikely
Israel is one of our largest national blindspots and President Bush is one of the blindest.

6. Man, Don't get me started about the SOCIALIST leanings of Jesus' message.
They lived and shared all things in common (something like that in the book of Acts..)

Give away all that you have to the poor...**SNORT** <--milk shooting out of the nose of Americans everywhere..
