Kristna judar

Måndagens The Guardian hade en intressant artikel om amerikanska kristna fundamentalister. Christian Coalition är en religiös organisation som passionerat försvarar Israels förehavanden, fastän organisationen är mycket icke-judisk:

"And the strangest thing of all is not their support, which is a novel and important development in American politics, but the thinking that lies behind it - which is altogether more chilling to Israel's traditional supporters than all the cheers and flags would suggest. You might also describe it as downright weird.

...She calls herself a fervent supporter of Israel, as does Lewis Hall of North Carolina. "I believe they do have to accept the Messiah." And if they don't? "I believe they will when they know who He is. I believe that one day they are going to wake up. It might take a third world war to do that."

Är dom här människorna faktiskt seriösa? Artikeln beskriver också vilken makt konservativa kristna har i USA. Man blir nästan rädd...
