Hagee declined to specify which crisis, noting that Israel faces one "every day the sun comes up." But at the top of the CUFI agenda is what the pastor calls "the Bible issue," namely what he considers to be the mistaken policy of trading parts of the biblical Land of Israel for peace, an agenda that AIPAC, for example, neglects.

Accordingly, Hagee says, CUFI intends to "interact with the government in Washington" and persuade it "to stop pressuring Israel to give up land for peace. Besides the fact that this does not work, Israel has a Bible mandate for the land. Now that Gaza has been given to Hamas, it has a military foothold a thousand yards from Jerusalem." ..."

And maybe the reason AIPAC "neglects" this is because it is actually listening to the Israeli people, who are sick and tired of religious nuts from Brooklyn or Mississippi trying to "help" them by pressuring them into ultra militant policies that they no longer want. The Israeli people have made the reasoned ("reasoned", Hagee. "reasoned") decision that they cannot get mired down in trying to rule 2 million Palestinians forever. Which is essentially what Hagee is demanding that Israel do and the Israelis are sick and tired of trying to do.

Washington isn't "pressuring" Israel into consolidating its lines behind a defensible perimiter. The Israelis understand perfectly well for themselves that the position in Gaza was untenable, costly, and indefensible and they will no longer be blackmailed by religious nuts.

Hagee is from TX. Where does Mississippi fit into
this equation of yours?

AIPAC isn't an Israeli organization, it's an American organization, obviously dealing with US-Israeli relations.

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.
