Dear Pastor Easley and Staff:
Project Strait Gate will lead a peaceful demonstration at your church Sunday morning. Our purpose is to influence fellow Christ-followers to oppose successive slaughter in the Mideast and the effect these acts of deliberate annihilation have on the morals of our own people. Americans are now among the victims of the war almost every day. But even when none of ?ours? are killed, they are being fashioned into assassins and brutal occupiers, which is not what most Christ followers should desire for their children.
We understand you and your staff have constantly supported the Executive Branchs call for the bombing of Iraq and its continued occupation. At very best you have done nothing to oppose it. One of your Senior pastors confirmed this to me on the phone. If he is in error, please tell me?
It is now documented that Americans killed at least 9500 Iraqi civilians outright. Many more are missing, literally incinerated, and children are now dying of deprivation. All this was predicted by many and is no longer deniable.
We now find documented proof, and even admission, that Americans used napalm against men in almost defenseless positions, and that our leaders lied and denied it. And Donald Rumsfeld, acting for his President, is documented to have personally approved 50 separate air strikes where he was advised in advance that at least 30 civilians would likely be killed on each strike. This means he personally, knowingly approved the killing of 1500 or more civilians!
The Presidents personal appointees are now proven to have known about and distorted evidence of Iraq?s uranium purchase that never happened, and there never were no “weapons of mass destruction.?
Furthermore, continued support of Israel?s wars are a form of racial genocide. Have you not have claiming the primacy of the “Chosen People” to Palestinian land, based not on any evidence of civilized deed or title?
Pastor Easily, do you have innocent blood on your hands? Have you spread that blood over those who follow you?
Our own report, The Source of Our War Problem: Why Judeo-Christians Do Not Demand Peace, which is enclosed, reveals the terrible truth. Many of America in Christian leadership have become enablers of Serial Wars.
But Iraq is not the end of the Serial war chain. The USA continues to fund Israel even as it erects a 30-foot prison wall around the West Bank, just as communist Russia imprisoned East Germany in 1961.
Pastor Easley, you cannot support Israel with logic or scripture and at the same time claim to oppose abortion. Why? Because Israel is the world?s most aggressive abortion state. You must know the government itself runs the abortion mills that kill over 16,000 of their own children every year. More Israelis are killed by its government operated and financed abortion mills every year than have been killed by all Palestinian in all war efforts over 54 years! That includes so-called suicide bombings. The facts of Israels murder of its own children is documented in our report, Zion?s Secret which is enclosed (https://whtt.org/straitgate/images/Zions%20Secret.PDF )
Every member of your church is cast in the role of a facilitator in the death of the Palestinian children, shot by the hundreds by the Israeli army. Yours a ?pro-life? church I have heard, but it supports and apologizes for pro-death Israel.
Jesus said: ? For as much as you have done to the least of these (brothers) you have done to me? and ?suffer the little children to come to me,? and, of course, the great and humble Beatitude, ?Blessed are the peacemakers, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.?
Please come out and show us where Jesus ever made a statement that could be construed to allowed a Christian to take the life of a Palestinian or Iraqi child, born, or pay for the killing of Israels own unborn!
Americans are awakening. Righteousness should start in the church. In no other country in the world is the evangelical church so influential. Why not seek peace as Jesus did? That is why we are coming to your church. We hope you will come out and talk to us, and that you will not discourage your congregation from doing so!
Toward the strait gate,
