> Dear Editor: Christ said, "Blessed are the
> peacemakers." So, how did
> Christians turn into Christian-Zionists
> (evangelicals), elect Bush, and fund
> the bombing of Iraqi and Palestinian children? And
> how can they claim to be
> "pro-life?"
> 
> I guess the tourists don't go into refugee camps
> where Palestinians are
> starving. They don't visit the Baptist Church in
> Gaza where American and
> Arab Christians worship together (and pray the
> American-made missiles don't
> hit them).
> 
> Where does the Bible say we should support the
> "state" of Israel? When God
> spoke to Abraham in Genesis 12:1-3, there WAS no
> state of Israel. Israel,
> the grandson of Abraham, hadn't yet been born.
> 
> Helping the Zionist movement along was Cyrus
> Scofield, an opportunistic
> criminal-turned-preacher. According to Joseph
> Canfield, author of "The
> Incredible Scofield," Scofield tore out the pages of
> a King James Bible,
> pasted them onto a yellow notepad, and doodled on
> the yellow paper for
> years. In 1908, the Oxford Press (reportedly close
> to Lord Rothschild)
> published his notes. Hence, the Scofield Reference
> Bible, relied upon by the
> seminaries of America. References to the Jews and
> the state of Israel were
> in these footnotes.
> 
> Somebody knew there was to be a state of Israel and
> had plans for occupying
> Palestine before the 1948 Balfour Declaration. In
> 1967, when Scofield was
> dead, footnotes were added to declare that
> "anti-Semitism" by nations would
> bring judgment upon those nations. The stage was
> set.
> 
> Christians should follow Christ, not do the bidding
> of AIPAC [American
> Israel Public Affairs Committee].
