This seems like a heartening sign: Coalition of Evangelicals Voices Support for Palestinian State. Of course, most of the signatories to the letter to the President mentioned in the article are the usual suspects of the evangelical left (Tony Campolo, Ron Sider), but others like Richard Mouw and David Neff of Christianity Today seem indicitave of a broader spectrum of support.
On a side note, I caught a few minutes of a broadcast of some far-out Christian Zionist guy the other day and he referred to God “smiting the Muslim hordes” in Ezekiel! Now I’m no biblical scholar, but I think his chronology’s off by a thousand years or so, give or take a few centuries.
