Don't Mess with Israel

Devastation as "A Home for a Home" 13:50 Aug 31, '05 / 26 Av 5765

(IsraelNN.com) The leading Israel-based Christian Zionist website, Jerusalem Newswire, carried an editorial this week by Stan Goodenough linking the devastation caused to the East Coast of the United States to the American policies encouraging the expulsion of Jews from Gaza, Judea and Samaria.

Noting that two weeks ago "the monster Katrina was not on any radar screen," Goodenough writes that the hurricane is "the lifting of God's hand of protection... the implementation of His judgment on the nation most responsible for endangering the land and people of Israel."

A report from Louisiana in the same news outlet quotes a local Christian Zionist as saying that the hurricane and subsequent mass evacuations are "a direct 'coming back on us' [for] what we did to Israel: a home for a home."
