Ripping off the rightwing mask

Well, that didn't take too long did it? Ariel Sharon zigs when they expected him to continue zagging and the fundies (yes, I can call them that since I don't teach religion and myth in Kansas) fear that their long held dream of partnering with Jews to bring on the Apocalypse (and the ultimate destruction of the Jews) and take back the Holy Land for Jesus (who, given his history there, would probably prefer Miami anyway) has ended in nightmare.

In response, their true feelings towards their Jewish "brethren" is revealed:

In an article entitled "Will the Goyim Win?" published on the official site of best-selling author Tim LaHaye (who also operates an annual Holy Land tour for evangelicals), "Christian journalist" Stan Goodenough takes Israel and the Sharon government to task for trading land for peace. In breathless prose, Goodenough bemoans the Israelis' supposed surrender of "the cradle of their nationhood, the burial places of their national patriarchs and heroes."

Then, he proceeds to pile it on:

But do you know what, Jews of Israel - and those Jews still in exile who so fervently support this way? You may think that in so acquiescing, you are setting a glowing example to the nations of the world.

But as far as these nations are concerned, the last thing they will want to do is emulate you. All you are doing is proving them right in their long-held belief that you are illegitimate, land grabbing, not-to-be-trusted Yids. And, as far as the Muslim world is concerned, your actions only confirm their view of you as a dhimmi nation, fit only to be ruled over by, and subdued under, Islam.


No greater wrath than a fundie scorned. I supposed this "Christian journalist" will hide behind a claim that he's channeling the opinions of eviliberal Europeans and the swarthy hordes surrounding JesusLand, but you, Dear Reader, and I know better.
