Chris McGreal, writing in the London-based The Guardian this past Thursday, reports, "The Post, a widely respected paper until it fell into former owner Conrad Black's clutches, is seeking to bolster its North American circulation by building on the blossoming relationship between the Israeli right and Christian fundamentalists."
"The content is going to be jointly put together by the Jerusalem Post and the International Christian Embassy [of Jerusalem, the ICEJ]," Post editor David Horowitz is quoted as telling the Guardian. "It'll be things like archaeology and tourism and ideological arguments and dilemmas and so on. Obviously, when your predominant mindset is a Jewish audience there are different stresses that go into providing content, whereas if you're doing it for a Christian audience, there are going to be very different emphases and different focuses."
Responding in advance to criticism he and his paper can be expected to face for working with an evangelical organization, Horowitz said, "The International Christian Embassy has been operating in Israel for many years and [is] very aware of the framework. There are laws in Israel against giving inducement to people to convert, and that organization has operated within the framework to the satisfaction of the Israeli government. That is actually very important to me."

well.... this ought to be interesting
Is this the same David Horowitz who has the "Frontpage" internet magazine?
No, it is not.
I can't see the Frontpage David saying that Christians and Jews must have very different interests and focuses. I find a lot more common ground with Jews than with Muslims of any nationality, and I am a black Christian who was born in Africa.
I think that this is interesting and will be a success.
The Jews and the Christians do have much in common and do care about each other as I see it, from where I am.
I think so too!
Don't get too excited. The JERUSALEM POST, formerly Palestine Post, has long been aligned with the anti-religious socialist establishment in Israel. They've moderated somewhat recently, but the JP is NOT religion friendly.
