Israel, End Times And The Likes Of John Hagee

- #WithFriendsLikeThese In a Faustian bargain, the leaders of today’s institutional Judaism hold their collective noses, supporting the lie that Christian Zionists like John Hagee have no desire to proselytize and convert them. In welcoming their dollars and ‘friendship,’ bringing on the Final war is really whatJudaism is buying into. If you don’t think such an alliance won’t ultimately increase anti-Semitism, think again. There will be a price to pay for Jews willing to partner with this despicable group of Far RW Conservatives, a politically powerful group that discourages and damages peace efforts n the Middle East at every turn, all the while purporting to love ‘Zion.’
