IMO, the Evangelicals or Christian Nationalists that support Israel, that seem to be interested in stamping out anti-semitism, are not really that interested in the welfare and wellbeing of Jews. If they are, it’s to accomplish two things: 1. maintain the State of Israel so that it facilitates the “Second Coming” of Jesus Christ, and 2.) to convert them to Christianity.
IMO, the “concerns” listed in Kristy Noem’s recent letter to Harvard about rampant antisemitism is just a vehicle to damage what is, among President Trump’s base, the most recognizable symbol for educational excellence, and therefore, “elitism” and “liberalism" in the USA. I say this as someone who was raised as an adolescent in a Midwestern megachurch. Each week was made up of a full service with 45 minute sermons, “Sunday School”, and midweek Bible Study with other teens. That gave me a lot of info into a culture that most people in New England would never access. The population of that church, last I heard, was 6,000 members across three campuses. As for Israel, it needs to exist in order to bring about the prophecies, as some interpret in the Book of Revelations (last book of the NT), that will bring about the “Second Coming” of the Messiah. Revelations also is interpreted by some as predicting that the earth will end “in a ball of fire” or “in fire”. For decades, this was used as justification for a large nuclear arsenal, influencing American foreign and military policy. Ronald Reagan quoted this in speeches. The easiest and most entertaining video I can find on Reagan’s speeches is listed below. John Lydon achieved fame as the lead singer of the Sex Pistols. Afrika Bambaataa was a youth outreach worker in the South Bronx in the 1970s. He is credited with “inventing” Hip Hop. “World Destruction”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoXGMSOIrIs. music video, Afrika Baambaata & John Lydon collaboration, Virgin Records, 1984. Featuring Ronald Reagan talking about Armageddon and foreign policy; Bambaataa quoting Nostradamus, etc. > On May 22, 2025, at 9:47 AM, V Saleme <[email protected]> wrote: > > Horrible news- And where is the outrage? > Incredible to me that people blindly advocate for GRALTA. > > > On Thu, May 22, 2025 at 8:47 AM Jonathan Sheffi <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >> We see the fruits of the advocacy of groups like GRALTA in the news this >> morning, as a pro-Palestinian activist murdered two Jews in Washington DC >> last night as the two were leaving an event.
