Evangelicals for Palestine

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.

  1. Ah, but do you hold the true key to unlock Bible prophecy, eh? Tell me that!

  2. A longstanding tradition has it that Muslims are descended from Ishmael, Abraham’s other son. Muslims don’t actually see Mohammed as the starting point of their religion. (Though it’s curious that a Christian would agree with them…)
