We're really just using this liberal Jewish dipshit (our FAQ debunking these same old smears here) as an excuse to post the summary of this editorial:

Ma'ariv notes that Friday, November 2nd was the 90th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration and says that "The Balfour Declaration diverted history and made the hitherto marginal Zionist idea a real option in world politics." The editors believe that "The Balfour Declaration was not designed to serve Britain's political interests," since it damaged those interests and suggest that it had to more with Christian messianism.

So even when Christians support Israel for reasons Jews might object to, their support still pragmatically ends up being beneficial. Unprecedented. The picture at the top, by the by, was a commercial run on evangelical stations during Lebanon II. We'll quote from a NYT article about the campaign:

For one thing, white evangelicals make up about a quarter of the electorate. Whatever strains may be creeping into the Israeli-American alliance over Iraq, the Palestinians and Iran, a large part of the Republican Party’s base remains committed to a fiercely pro-Israel agenda that seems likely to have an effect on policy choices. Mr. Hagee says his message for the White House was, "Every time there has been a fight like this over the last 50 years, the State Department would send someone over in a jet to call for a cease-fire. The terrorists would rest, rearm and retaliate." He added, "Appeasement has never helped the Jewish people."... At rallies this fall for Christian conservative voters, Dr. Dobson sometimes singled out Mr. Ahmadinejad as a reason to go to the polls, arguing that Democrats could not be trusted to face down such dangers. “Hitler told everybody what he was going to do, and Ahmadinejad is saying exactly what he is going to do,” Dr. Dobson explained. “He is talking genocide.”

But you just know that the reason they're trying to stop a war in the Middle East is so they can bring about an apocolyptic war in the Middle East. Makes. Perfect. Sense.
