How are these pro-Israel Christians being repaid for their support of Israel? With insults and denigration. Rabbi Michael Cook and those who think like him are ingrates.

Give me a break! Let's throw a few imams in your neighborhood and try to convert a few Christians to Islam. I'ld like to see YOUR reaction then.

I really wish they'd try their hand outside of a Yeshiva, instead of going to college campuses, seeking out young Jews who have no connection to the local Jewish community. Having them try to tell Rabbis what the Hebrew Bible says (when they cannot read Hebrew) would be quite amusing.

Well, I guess he's trying to say that many conservative Christians are very supportive of Jews. He's probably right.

But he doesn't address the fact that they still want to convert these Jews if they can. I say "more power to 'em."

This notion that "Jews don't need conversion for they already have a covenant with God," seems to completely ignore the Old Testament record. Quite bizarre.

"Give me a break! Let's throw a few imams in your neighborhood and try to convert a few Christians to Islam. I'ld like to see YOUR reaction then."

And of course, the legacy of our Founding Fathers, AND the promotion of religious tolerance was founded by Muslims?? Your analogy fall flat, pardner.

Quite frankly, if NOT for a bunch of Protestants from England -- NOT Catholics, Muslims, NOR Jews -- the system of liberty we ALL enjoy today would not have come to fruition in the first place.

BTW -- HEY, WELCOME TO AMERICA -- the land of FREE SPEECH and choice to REJECT the message of those you desire to censor.

LOL. This reminds me... The JWs came to my door a couple of weeks ago - I haven't seen 'em in years - and I simply told them politely, "Oh thank you, but I am not interested in your program". That always works. They smiled and graciously retreated. Then I got on the phone to warn a couple of neighbors down the road!

Sure, I'd rather not have them come to my door, but I have never found them to be threatening. Now if they had hooks for hands and a missing eye, I would have been a tad leery. :-)

This whole business of being "saved", like it's some kind of magic wand formula, is ridiculous. Jews are certainly smarter than that, knowing that is the "walk" with God that counts. It's the direction in which one chooses to walk on a daily basis, halacha as it were. Enoch "walked" with God, etc. Why should the Jews find their Messiah on TBN, for example, when he's not there? Now if you are looking for tacky Love Gifts, then TBN is certainly "good news", yikes.

And I am reminded of another thing... a lot of Christians insist that the Jews are the chosen people. Like the word "testament" = covenant, the word "chosen" = elect. Just like Jerusalem is the city chosen (elected) by God as the place where He put His name. Therefore, it's no surprise that when Jesus spoke from the Mount of Olives in Matthew 24, he told his disciples about false messiahs and prophets:

Matthew 24:24-25 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before.

Jews = elect (chosen) people, that's what many of these Christians say! `:-D

Meanwhile...

Ecclesiastes 3:1-2 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted...

This Rabbi sounds pretty insecure in his faith. I am not threatened by other christians being told of other faiths. I don't feel a need to "protect" them from hearing people of other faiths. And you know what? If they convert, that's their business.
