A whiff of Judeofascism.... Wednesday, July 17, 2002 Av 8, 5762 Rev. Vines called Mohammed a demon-possessed pedophile The pro-Israel support of the Christian right in the U.S. makes some Jews nervous. *By Eliahu Salpeter* Fundamentalist Christian activists in America are setting up a campaign called "Stand With Israel" that is intended to work in concert with AIPAC, the main pro-Israeli lobby in the U.S. B'nai B'rith in Canada has formed an alliance with Christians for Israel to encourage the Ottawa government's support for Israel. And the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is poised to allocate a significant share of its $30 million annual budget toward a pro-Israeli publicity blitz and provision of financial aid to Jews wishing to immigrate to Israel. Fundamentalist circles claim that George Bush's pro-Israel stand derives from his being a born-again Christian. This bustle of activity by fundamentalist Christians has been garnering increased expressions of gratitude from Jewish organizational leaders. But, if truth be told, they are also to some extent embarrassed by the support. Most Jewish organizations in America have always been somewhat uneasy about the enthusiastic support for Zionism and Israel by the evangelist Christian right. The worldview of the fundamentalist churches, most of which are in the South, is right-wing conservatism, whereas the large Jewish organizations, which are concentrated in the Northeast and Southwest, support liberal ideologies and politicians. Most of the liberal Protestant churches (which constitute the majority in the U.S.) come down in favor of the Third World, a category that generally includes Palestinians and especially Palestinian refugees. [...] haaretzdaily.com With nutcases like Vines, Falwell and gang it sure doesn't take a terrorism expert to see where the most dangerous hotbed of terror lies.... 98 million of US Evangelicals... how many potential terrorists among them? How many potential anthrax-blackmailers among them? How many Jesus freaks and Holy Rollers out there who won't flinch from terror to hasten the Armaggedon and the Second Coming of Mr Jesus?? You tell me.... Gus Gus

Who said Powell was losing it?? Bush indicates he would accept a compromise on Arafat Brian Knowlton International Herald Tribune Thursday, July 18, 2002 WASHINGTON President George W. Bush again called for new Palestinian leadership on Wednesday, but he appeared to indicate that he could live with a compromise that would leave Yasser Arafat as the figurehead leader of a remade Palestinian government. "The issue is much bigger than a person," Bush said, even while reiterating that new leadership would better serve the Palestinians. His administration's focus was not an individual, he said, but rather to see that Palestinians adopted a new constitution that divided power; that effective security arrangements were forged to ensure peace, and that Palestinian financial institutions were made transparent to prevent skimming of humanitarian funds. The secretary of state, Colin Powell, had said earlier that he would be "more than willing to consider" a formula to keep Arafat on with largely ceremonial powers, while a new prime minister wielded real power.
