Can Jews and Evangelicals Get Along?
By Zev Chafets

In early November 2005, the Prime Minister of Iran stated his intention to wipe Israel off the map. At almost exactly the same time, leaders of the American Jewish community declared war on the Christian Right.

Abe Foxman, head of the Anti-Defamation League, issued the first call to arms. The Jews, he said, faced an organized, sophisticated coalition of enemies. He described as "openly arrogant" the supposed Evangelical goal: "To Christianize us, to save us!" Within a few weeks, Rabbi Eric Yoffie, leader of the liberal Reform Movement, America's largest Jewish denomination, and Rabbi James Rudin of the ultra-establishment American Jewish Committee, reprised Foxman's complaint.

Never before in U.S. history had Jewish leaders shown such bold hostility toward Evangelical Christians, the largest Protestant community in America and, by most measures, the most philo-Semitic and pro-Israel. In normal times, this would be paradoxical. In an age of jihad it was dangerously perverse.

I think one of the misconceptions Christians in America have is that ALL Jews in Israel want to have the land, a temple, etc. They don't. In fact, there are sects of Orthodox Jews who feel that Israel should only have what the world gives them, since that may be all God wants them to have.

Viewing Israel as a secular nation which contains a part of the Remnant Choice of God is the best approach to understanding Israel today. This way when the secular jews/Israel speak, you can better understand their comments and actions.

Very good point. One I learned about a year ago,

Very true ADN...

I agree with you ADN. Most Jews think that they are 'just like everyone else' which has been the problem all along. Too many of them wanted to 'go back to Egypt'.
