Evangelical Christian boosting Israel's morale with TV spots
By ETGAR LEFKOVITS

An American Evangelical Christian is launching a series of television commercials on Channel 2 to voice his support for the people of Israel during these trying times.

"For the first time in this country's history, television spots will begin airing to announce to the people of Israel that the vast majority of American Christians recognize Israel as their friend and ally," said Earl G. Cox of Charleston, South Carolina, reading a statement during a press conference at Jerusalem's Mount Herzl Military Cemetery.

A former US government official and political strategist who served in four presidential administrations, Cox chose to leave the political arena, and instead listen to "the call of God."

"Enemies of Israel must clearly understand that when they attack the Jewish State, they take on millions of American Christians who passionately embrace the Israeli people," he said yesterday.

Cox, who has been visiting Israel for the past month, said he specifically chose the venue of his announcement yesterday amid the tombstones of Israel's fallen "to make a statement."

"Terrorism is a by-product of an uncivilized, barbaric society... that has absolutely no regard for human life. I am committing myself to personally continue using one of the most powerful weapons in the war against terrorism: television and radio ads," Cox said.

The 20- and 30-second ads, which are scheduled to run for a month, were slated to begin last night around Channel 2's newscasts.

A spokesman for Channel 2's Tel-Ad franchisee, Moni Brosh, said yesterday that the ads would begin next week, though he declined to specify how much they cost, saying that was confidential.

In addition to the TV ads, Cox is producing a video presentation documenting the recent suicide bombings in Israel. The video will be shown in churches and synagogues in Charleston, South Carolina and will be made available on the Internet to other communities via the Christian Web site <a href="http://www.WorthyNews.com." target="_blank">www.WorthyNews.com.</a>
I certainly don't agree that radio and television ads help to stop terrorism. Still interesting though.

Actually, this is going to go more toward the political arena really fast and here's why: Jews in this country have been embarrassingly liberal in this politics, thereby supporting causes that are ardently anti-Isreal.

Liberal Causes=anti-Isreal/anti-Christian
Conservative Causes=pro-Isreal/pro-Christian(actually, pro-freedom of religion)

Strange dichotomy that conservative Jews in America cannot figure out.

Yes, it does seem like evangelical Christians have stopped trying to convert Jews to Christianity, and are now trying to convert them to Republicanism. Democratic core voters are being wooed left and right (no pun intended) with Republicans trying to win over Jewish voters, big labor, hispanics, etc. Should be an interesting election in 2004.

And yet...no discussion. Only jabs at "the thread".

Faaascinating.

For a long time I've wondered why the strong Jewish block of votes in this nation generally went to the Dems. For years it was the Republicans who championed the state of Israel and helped get them the support they needed to make it as a nation.
Hopefully this is the beginning of a nice shift towards the Republican camp and away from the Dems....

What's their to discuss? Unlike popular racist myth, your average Jew is not a cheap, self centered prick, so the Republican party holds no interest to them.

Sorry, I just felt this was a bit much:

"Liberal Causes=anti-Isreal/anti-Christian
Conservative Causes=pro-Isreal/pro-Christian(actually, pro-freedom of religion)"

And what, pray tell, was a "bit much" about it?

I used the fewest words to:
* Set a tone
* Present a thesis

Or is it the truth that is "a bit much"?

Conservatives: anti-black, anti-gay, anti-freedom, anti-environment, pro-profits

How's that?

And yet at the very core aren't liberal causes aimed at:
The destruction of Isreal? *
The suppression of Christianity in America? -Pick your favorite anti-Christian thread

* -- At a rally in Washington in April Amer Jubran a representative of the Arab activist organization Al-Adwa screamed to the crowd; "I have come to America to bring the Intifada (violent uprising) to the Steps of the White House! I call for a global intifada!" The crowd then started chanting; "Global Intifada...Global intifada..."

I bring up the Washington bit because I heard the chanting being done by Americans who hate America for supporting Isreal. Why? Why do Americans hate America for supporting Isreal?

Isn't it true that it is generally a liberal cause to stop America from supporting Isreal? And isn't it true that Isreal could fall if there weren't at least tacit support from the United States?

I don't believe in sending financial aid to Isreal...for that matter neither does Netenyahu, and he was roundly criticised for saying so.

But I do believe that our tactical and moral support is necessary to help Isreal survive the onslaught of the Arab World who want Isreal to die a violent death.

Yes, all liberal causes are aimed at those two things.

You do not specify whether you mean 2 liberal causes or all liberal causes.

Ok, left out a clause in that one...but the following one I did say "A".

Anyway, of those two particular liberal causes can you deny the statements?

Because isn't a Pro-Palestinian Rally necessarily anti-Isreal?

That's like saying an anti-death penalty demo is pro-murder. Your logic does not resemble our Earth logic. One can be AGAINST the POLICIES of Israel and not wish for the nation to be pummelled.

Mentioning Jesus verboten at ABC? On Tuesday’s The View, Joy Behar recalled how on a show the week before, she had exclaimed about her diet plan coming to an end: "Yes, and thank you, thank you, Jesus, is all I have to say! Goodbye to that damn scale and this whole diet. I'm sick of it!" But for the West Coast feed of that show, ABC bleeped out the name “Jesus.”
And I'll bet this action gets defended here in due course...thereby supporting one of my earlier conjectures...the suppression of Christianity in America.

Which again begs the question "Why?"

But, support for the murderous Palestinians is indeed necessarily support for death of Isreal. Because that is their ultimate aim. Arafat has said so.

So my options are:

Support the Palestinians to destroy Israel

or

Support Israel to subjugate and destroy the Palestinian people?

Sorry, that's bullshit. Again, your awful logic means that if you are pro-choice you support abortion clinic bombings.

How about I support a Palestinian state and the cessation of hostilities?

And as for your really stupid thing about the View, that was OBVIOUSLY ABC trying to not piss off those Christians you think so highly of. Behar was not REALLY thanking Jesus - she was using his name in an exclamation. She isn't even Christian, right?

Your conspiracy theories get stupider and stupider.

Just because there are stupider conspiracy theories than your pet "liberal media hates Jesus" (which sounds like a step away from the "Jew Media"), doesn't make yours any more likely. Or all that well thought out.

Would you believe that's exactly my belief as well?

The Palestinians are tenacious enough to have deserved a homeland of their own. Now if they can:
* administer it themselves
* not cross borders out of a sense of vengeance
Then they might survive themselves.
