June 18 - Rallies vs Israeli and Christian United Aggression

Check out the photos and YouTube Video links to these two events. First, a 500 person rally at the White House. Arabs, Muslims and peace activists against Israeli aggression in Lebanon and Gaza. (It's not "self-defense" when 80% of the land Israel is defending was obtained through terrorism, ethnic cleansing and military aggression over the last 60 years.)
.
Then a dozen of us went up to the new lobby group Christians United for Israel banquet featuring such warmongering luminaries as Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.); Israel’s ambassador to the United States, Daniel Ayalon; Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.); and Ken Mehlman, chairman of the Republican National Committee. (See my July 13 report below.) We got there early enough to see John Hagee, founder of "CUFI," waddling up Connecticut towards the hotel with his entourage.
.
The 200 odd participants who had to pass by us really heard it from us, including me with my bullhorn. My voice carried all the way from the street to the hotel entrance and followed them for the 3 minute walk. "Christians United will destroy America to protect Israel! They want to bomb Iran. They don't care if it leads to nuclear war." "Christians United think they will be RAPTURED when Armageddon comes! But they won't be raptured. Won't they be surprised!"
.
Another interesting theme arose as we protested. "Christians United think Jesus is going to KILL all the Jews who don't CONVERT when he comes back! So why aren't they CONVERTING all the Jews at the conference? If they were REAL Christians, wouldn't they be trying to convert those Jews?" Some of the Jews (self-identified or wearing yamakas) seemed pretty nervous hearing that, not quite sure if we were Christians pushing conversion of Jews or what we were. CUFI has made an agreement with Jewish groups to NOT attempt to convert Jews. (See articles here.) Hypocrits should always be exposed.
.
Passerbys heard a more traditional message: "Israel out of Lebanon. Israel out of Palestine." and "End the occupation. Right of Return for Palestinians. Palestinian rights are human rights." . We were interviewed by relatively sympathetic Wall Street Journal and and Israeli reporters. They too know these people are NUTS!
