This item should go under the category, “We’re Not Surprised In The Least.” We’re on the Christians United For Israel emailing list and this bloody appeal came today. It’s no wonder millions of people think Christianity is a religion of war. Many people reject Christianity when they witness the callousness of Christians who turn their backs on what Jesus taught: “Blessed are the peacemakers…” John Hagee and CUFI try to outdo themselves each time they send out a broadside to support Israel. This time it’s for more weapons so Israel can continue its genocide in Gaza.
If you are outraged as we are, consider conducting your own vigil at a CUFI event in your town. First, go to “Attend A CUFI Event” page on their website and see if their is an event near you (they do add events, so you’ll want to check again later). Second, visit our “View Vigils” page to learn more. Third, watch “WHTT Has Been Challenging Zionist Churches Since 2002“and listen to “Challenging Dyed In The Wool Christian Zionist.” Fourth, let us know how we can help you start a vigil (info on View Vigil page).
Here’s the CUFI’s un-Christlike appeal:
Dear Tom,
We were shocked to read reports in the Wall Street Journal, the Times of Israel and other reliable sources that President Obama has blocked delivery of critical weapons to Israel in the middle of a war. If these reports are true, they mark a new low point in our relationship with Israel.
The President acknowledges that Israel has a right to defend itself from Hamas rocket fire. And the United States government has long recognized Hamas as a terrorist organization. Thus it defies logic, strategy and decency to learn that the President may be denying Israel the very weapons it needs to defend itself from these terrorists.
We have prayed that President Obama would bring greater moral clarity to his discussion of Israel’s struggle against Hamas. We have encouraged Secretary of State John Kerry to remember that Israel, not Hamas, is our ally in the region. Now we’re seeing this moral confusion bear the bitter fruit of dangerous policy.
Demand that the Obama Administration stand with Israel!
Tell President Obama to stop blocking weapons to Israel!
We must not let this dangerous policy pass in silence.
Blessings to you and those you love,
Pastor John Hagee Chairman Christians United for Israel |
David Brog Executive Director Christians United for Israel |
