I watched Falwell go it alone on CNN fighting the liberals and Novak over the fact that Israel must be allowed to prevail over this even if it destroys the PA and exiles many many Palis to Jordan. Why is a typically despised by the left Christian fundie one of Israel's biggest cheerleaders?

Israel's most loyal friends in America are evangelical Christians. If only American Jews would follow the Evangelicals' example! (Bob Novak, on the other hand, while usually a very honest and reliable writer, is taken over by his anti-Semitic alter ego, whenever he writes about Israel.)

What you say is true....however there are non evangelical hard right Christians like myself (and many Southerners like me I know) who simply support Israel because it is at least for us an easy case of right over wrong....regardless of Biblical or providential perspectives. I also have personal ties to Jews in Israel which makes my opinion entirely subjective.

I doubt our support for Israel will sway liberal American Jews much in any event. Their dislike for us is entrenched and they mostly seem like Pali sympathizers anyhow....not just them but take a look at the waffling Labor party in Israel...hell they are as bad as Powell. America supports Israel not because of some loony ZOG conspiracy but because we are still mostly a Christian nation....just my opinion. We have much more in common religiously and culturally and politically with the Israelis than the barbarian despots surrounding her.

Novak is Lebanese Maronite I think....he's letting his ethno-centricity get the best of him....he should go ask his Phalange brethren how they feel about the Palis...LOL.
