Hagee is correct though, he doesn't have to listen to the Israeli people, he only has to read the Bible...something you should expect from a Christian.

I am a Christian and I do not buy the argument that being one means being an Israeli ultra-hawk. God told King Zedekiah through the prophet Jeremiah to submit to Nebuchadnezzar and not try to revolt. Jews loyally served Babylonian and Persian monarchs and were rewarded for their loyalty. For centuries an alien people, the Samaritans, dwelt in the land of Israel and nowhere is God shown as hostile to them. Did not our Savior befriend a Samaritan slut and use them as an example of divine grace (the good Samaritan)? I see nothing in scripture to state that being a Christian means being more Zionist than the Israelis themselves choose to be.

When Hagee blames Kadima policies on "American pressure" he flat out lies. The Israeli people have given up trying to rule the Palestinians, which is what Hagee is demanding they do. Evangelicals like to insist that they are Israel's friends. Some friends.
