You know, I just heard Dennis Miller (and Bill O'Reilly) call Jerry Falwell "hateful."

I can't say I was a fan of Falwell, but it had more to do with his smirky demeanor than what he actually said. The Falwell I recall was unfailingly pro-Israel in deed and word. He didn't avoid the glaring fact that Jews find so distasteful about Christians--that we acknowledge that our beliefs (and our doom) intertwine and that Jesus is a Jew --- such an uncomfortable thing to be talking about, and Falwell was forever talking about it.

Educate Christians to be pro-Israel? This article is patronizing in the extreme. Be pro-Israel, and have semi-conservative Jews call you "hateful" after you're dead.

Who needs to be educated here? Who needs to turn their faces to Jersusalem? --Not Christians.

Why don't you ask John Hagee, it's his patronizing project.

Conservative Christian Support for Israel is a given we will always be there... There is a moral obligation for conservative Jews to reciprocate. It is time we see open Conservative Israeli support for Christian Conservatives in the USA and West in general and condemnation of JINOs who seek the destruction of both the US, Israel and our Allies..

"You know, I just heard Dennis Miller (and Bill O'Reilly) call Jerry Falwell 'hateful.'"

That's no surprise from the likes of Bill O'Reilly. Many Buchananites and religious others apparently feel the same way about Falwell.

"Educate Christians to be pro-Israel? This article is patronizing in the extreme. Be pro-Israel, and have semi-conservative Jews call you "hateful" after you're dead."

Most of the people complaining about Falwell since his death are from families of Christian descent. A very few are Jewish people (Reform, non-Orthodox) who prefer to be assimilated by a Christian nation. I've seen no such complaint from any Orthodox Jew.

"Who needs to be educated here? Who needs to turn their faces to Jersusalem? --Not Christians."

Everyone does. Otherwise, what purpose for the many to keep the various, new versions of the "Old Testament" (from the Alexandria mistranslation) and its prophecies about Israel at all?

That said, it's been surprising to see articles about so much public hatred vented against Falwell from various kinds of Christians/new-agers (including those astrology readers and earth worshippers who call themselves, "Atheists").

“Educate Christians to be pro-Israel?”

I think the article is talking about more political issues and recent historical issues -— e.g., teaching them that there is no such thing as a palestinian -— they’re just arabs, and Israel did not “force them” from their lands, they left as part of a plan to allow massive attacks on the Jewish populations -— the arabs who stayed are free and vote, etc.

Basically, there are a lot of “facts” assumed on campus debates that are not true at all.

This is the education spoken of.
