re: #279 SanFranciscoZionist

Tom Friedman talks about this a bit in “From Beirut to Jerusalem”. I’m not sure I totally agree, but he feels that for Americans, the Israeli narrative is highly significant because of the Biblical connections of the land, and that therefore, either a sense of indentification with, or betrayal by, the Israelis, is very intense for American Christians.

You know, I’ve considered that, but some of Israel’s strongest supporters here are atheists, so whatever the Bible says wouldn’t/shouldn’t matter to them. If we get into the “becuase God said so” thing then we’re headed for the “MY book is The Truth, not yours, and MY book says…” useless debate.
