Absolutely fair point, Cliff, on it being new name. I used it as I was focusing on those who seem supportive if Netanyahu but there are indeed many who believe in the doctrine without the linktoany particular US party. I will correct.thank you.
The term Christian Nationalist seems rather new, and a way to disparage those who believe that the return of the Jews to the Holy Land is part of God’s Plan. I have been aware of this return of the Jews as part of the End Times for some 55 years, since I read Hal Lindsey’s book, _The Late Great Planet Earth_. In the back of my mind I think I am hearing folks whispering “White” in front of Christian Nationalist. On the other hand, at our local, Lowell, African Festival, a couple of Saturdays ago, there were at least two tables from Black Christian Churches, one of which I had a short discussion on the end times.
The Jews and the land is an important question, but individuals have many different answers.
Not to go all “Dead Carl” on you, but the first, the most important question is, do the Jews have the right to return after 2,000 years?
If not, we should immediately take the approach of President Washington to the Touro Synagogue, back in 1790, and welcome all Israeli Citizens, regardless of faith, to the US where "every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and figtree, and there shall be none to make him afraid.” I say, lock stock and barrel. Even the Wailing Wall. Pull our JLOTS pier and let the Palestinians figure it out.
Expensive? Yes. Not my line but I figure $200 Billion. For intermediate housing I would have the Federal Government rent rooms at Ivy League schools, which are suffering reduced attendance (eg, Emerson). We are doing that now in Lowell, where the UMass Lowell Inn and Conference Center is being rented to house illegal immigrants.
How soon would we offer Citizenship. I would say not more than a year. Take the test, of course. But all Rights less voting from day one.
Now, if the US Government feels that the Jews have the right to be where they are, then we need to be making that clear to all, far and wide. MWI and other think tanks need to be thinking through this problem. Foreign Policy and Military thinkers need to be writing. And we need more and better information. And a firm hand from the President.
