Hagee Started His love Of Israel In 1981
In 1981, televangelist John Hagee put on the first Night to Honor
Israel at his church in San Antonio. The Jewish state just bombed
Iraq's nuclear facility and the world was incensed, so Rev Hagee
held a pro Israel Jamboree.

Hagee's Annual Fundraiser
Twenty-five years later, Hagee, still pushes his hate , he now
advocates a US strike on Iran. His Night to Honor Israel, a
three day event, advances the message that Israel and America, are
in danger.

'Christians United for Israel'
CUFI, a lobbying group Hagee established nine months ago,
presented the event. It was billed as the first “national” Night to
Honor Israel.
Hagee has scheduled similar events in Berkeley, Sacramento and
Pasadena, Calif.; St. Louis; Arvada, Colo.; and Carlsbad, N.M..

|
Hagee Has conferences for fellow ministers
Now Hagee has conferences that focus on other Christian ministers
from across the country, many of them representing mega-churches
like his own. He sprinkles the event with Jews from around the
world.
Hagee has elevated his Christian Zionist movement to a political
movement, where his flock use their vote as political clout.

Guest Speakers At Annual Fundraiser
Hagee has some of Israel's most despicable individuals speak at
his weekend conference. He has former CIA director James
Woolsey; Israeli Defense Forces, Lt. Gen. Moshe Yaalon; and
Joseph Ginat, director of the Strategic Dialogue Center at the
Netanya Academic College in Israel, give intelligence briefings.

Islam Hates Us Because We Are Good
3,000 people attended the three-hour-plus briefing, where they
were told of the Jihadic “Islamofascism” that is out to destroy
western civilization.
Woolsey said America is at war with a new enemy. He told the
crowd, “They hate us not for what we’ve done wrong but what we do
right,” Woolsey said. “They hate us for our freedom.”

Iran Will Nuke America In Ten Months
Jewish analysts, such as Joseph Ginat, warned that the West
has only six to 10 months to take military action against Iran. A
strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities is a must.
“In the culture of the Arab world, there is a dimension known as
the culture of lies,” said Ginat.

|
A grim picture
Gen Halutz painted a grim picture of an ongoing war that he said
had already started between the West and radical Islam, one he said
will go on for generations. “The war is clash of cultures.
Israel which supports compassion, human rights and dignity, freedom,
against Islam, who glorify death -- death for any freedom.”

Hagee Has Ex PLO Terrorists Speak
Two Arab speakers, Brigitte Gabriel, a the author of Why They
Hate, described herself as a “Lebanese Zionist” and recounted
traumatic episodes growing up as a Lebanese Christian during the
civil war in Lebanon. Walid Shoebat, a former PLO terrorist who
converted to Christianity and is the author of Why I Left Jihad,
also drew on his personal experiences.
Cells Hide In Mosques
Gabriel said Israel’s enemies are America’s, warned of Hamas
cells in the United States -- “Hamas has the largest infrastructure
on American soil” -- and declared, “Our enemy is in Islamic mosques
throughout the U.S.”
|
|
Shoebat was just as explicit in his denunciation of Islam. There
are peaceful Muslims, he conceded, but said those were the Muslims
who knew little about their religion. “Our job is to liberate 1.2
billion Muslims and sometimes it has to be with a baseball bat,”
Shoebat said, who compared Islam to Nazism.
|
Normal People Find This Presentation Frightening
Susan Ives, of the Interfaith Peace Center in San Antonio, a
critic of Hagee said 'The whole affair is very frightening.'
“I’ve never been in any placed that called itself a Christian
setting where there was such hatred,” Ives said.
|
 |
“If I were a Muslim, I would have been very, very afraid at the
end of those four hours. They were depicting Islam as a hateful
religion at the very least, especially the two Arab speakers. But
almost every single one of them talked about Islam as a religion of
liars.”
Christian Zionists see Christ returning to Israel, and his favor
will fall on those who support the Jews.

Hagee's Event Is A Carnival
Hagee celebrates Sukkot, there is a carnival, Jewish dancers,
food booths and a marketplace selling goods by scores of Israeli
vendors. An Israeli choir sang at the regular Sunday services and
the concluding celebration.
|
| |
|
His Extravaganza Had Holocaust Survivors
Survivors told of Jews being burned alive. Many Sonderkommados
returned to see Jews fighting to crawl out of ovens!!
|
 |
| |
|
 |
Jewish Singers
The Church choir sang Jewish songs, marched around in robes, in
the dark, holding candles. They sang. “Israel, you are not
alone. Not only are you not alone, you are loved. Let it be known in
Tehran!"
|
| |
|
Video Screens Show Israeli Heroes.
Messages Shimon Peres and Benjamin Netanyahu thanked the
congregation and Hagee.
In his keynote address, Malcolm Hoenlein, condemned Professors
John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt, who said Jews controlled the US
Government.

Israeli Critics Were Not Tolerated
Critics of Christian Zionists say supporting Israel, is
supporting international terror. Jews can get away with butchering
children in Lebanon, and Palestine, because of people like Hagee.
“The dangers of Christian Zionism haven’t been talked about,”
said Art Preisinger, a retired Lutheran minister and history
professor attending the celebration at Cornerstone Church.
|
| |
|
Jews In Attendance Were Ecstatic
Shimon Katansky, said nobody should be telling Israel what to do.
“Israel belongs to the Jewish people. The Palestinians might have
property deeds, but property deeds don’t mean anything to me.”
