Thanks to WHTT's newest vigil veteran, Craig Hanson, a former Christian Zionist, we have a very clear account of what goes on at a Christians United For Israel event.  While other members of the WHTT vigil team held signs like "Who Would Jesus Bomb?" and "Choose Life Not War" and "Blessed Are The Peacemakers" outside the Abundant Life Fellowship church in Roseville, CA, Craig went in to find out what was said.  His report is eye opening.  In response to our sign "Who Would Jesus Bomb?," the CUFI director said that Jesus would bomb...you'll have to listen to find out what he said.  Check out the flier, handed out at the vigils, that is mentioned in the program.

We were inspired by one of our listeners who wanted to attend a vigil at a Christians United For Israel event near his home.  In this program we talk about what is needed to do a vigil at a Christian Zionist church.  One of the main things to be done is to send a letter to the pastor of the church to let him know why we have chosen his church.  After listening to this program, be sure to get the rest of the story as told after the vigil in "What Went On Inside a John Hagee CUFI Event in California."

Normally vigils by We Hold These Truths, conducted in front of Christian Zionist churches or events, are ignored by the media.  In the case of a vigil in Fresno, CA conducted by David Jacobs, Pastor Jim Franklin of the Cornerstone Church in downtown Fresno was so upset by the presence of WHTT and our controversial signs like Blessed Are The Peacemakers, Choose Life Not War and Who Would Jesus Bomb? (a new version of this is: Who Would Jesus Drone?, a corollary to the well known WWJD? (What Would Jesus Do?), that he called out the media.  Mr. Franklin has a local talk show and must have some clout because one of the local stations, KFSN (channel 30), an ABC affiliate showed up and did an excellent and fair job of reporting our vigil.  It's only just over a minute but packs a punch.  Pastor Jim Franklin has hosted a number of events for John Hagee and CUFI (Christians United For Israel) at his church that bares the same name as John Hagee's home church, Cornerstone Church, in San Antonio, TX.

WHTT joined Cindy Sheehan at her Tour de Peace stop in Phoenix to protest the use of drones by President Obama, that has resulted in the death of many innocent children in countries like Pakistan and Yemen.  The death of Cindy's son, Casey, in Iraq, emboldened her to become an anti-war activist.  We Hold These Truths member Leslie Fort (at left in picture) helped read the names of the innocent children killed by drones in front of Senator John McCain's Phoenix office.  Travis Steel, a WHTT director holds the "Who Would Jesus Bomb...or Drone?" sign on  the right.  This video is one of Cindy Sheehan's travel logs made along her journey from California to Washington, DC via bicycle.

The Concise Dictionary of Christianity observes that "Scofield's influence on the evangelical/fundamentalist movement of the early twentieth century was enormous."  And, we would add, devastating.  In this podcast we review a new book, The Praise of Folly:  The Enigmatic Life & Theology of C.I. Scofield by David Lutzweiler.  A vicious attack on Lutzweiler and his book by the senior pastor of The Scofield Memorial Church prompted us to look a little deeper and review the new facts, uncovered by Lutzweiler, that cast more shadows on Scofield, the man and his theology.

A short distance to the east of Cyprus, experiencing major economic woes, lies Israel where it is business as usual. Israel was just honored by a visit from the U.S. President; Israel’s secretly indebted banking system funds a militarist economy that boasts of power but leaks at every seam. It is the consummate actor, feigning prosperity while it hovers on the brink of national financial suicide.  This is an update to Chuck Carlson's investigations into US dollar denominated, Israeli bonds.

A history of two destroyed currencies might well have precluded Israel from selling its own shekel bonds.  So, back at the turn of the 21st century, it seems to have invented a counterfeiting scheme to sell U.S. bonds to Americans.  It now issues bonds in America, payable in dollars, not shekels.  This is a follow-up story to Chuck Carlson's ground breaking story, "Devaluation Risk of Shekel Bonds."

Remote control killing by drones was started in 2002 by President Bush and is being expanded and institutionalized by President Obama.  Sadly, very few Americans are objecting to the killing of innocent people in foreign lands, under the guise of eliminating terrorists.  We discuss the use of drones and the nomination of John Brennan for the Director of the CIA (we think that truth in labeling laws would require that the initials should stand for Creating Insurgents Abroad).

Israeli filmmaker, Guy Davidi teamed up with Palestinian farmer, Emad Burnat, to create a documentary, 5 Broken Cameras, that has been nominated for an Academy Award for "Best Documentary."  It tells the story of the non-violent protests conducted, over seven years, by a West Bank village, Bil'in (surrounded by illegal Israeli settlements) in an effort to stop the confiscation of Palestinian lands by Israel.  The Israeli Ministry of Education has banned the showing of the film in schools, although it has been aired on two Israeli documentary channels and shown at theaters.  This short video shows the reaction to a film showing to a group of Israeli students.  Watch this and you will be amazed at the hope that this film could generate on both sides of the conflict.  We've seen 5 Broken Cameras and it is very powerful and moving.

Rev. Stephen Sizer, an Anglican vicar from the UK has written and spoken widely on the phenomena of Christian Zionism.  When he was recently attacked by Zionists in the UK for exposing Israel's mistreatment of Palestinian children (see, Child Abuse:  Palestinian Children in Israeli Prisons), it was no surprise that the standard pejorative of calling him "anti-semitic" was invoked.  Fortunately, a UK group, Jews For Justice for Palestine, has come to Rev. Sizer's defense.  In this podcast, we also take a look at attacks by Christian Zionists upon Christians who object to the unfair treatment of Palestinians by Israel.

There's gold in those end times predictions.  "End of the World" prophesies are a hallmark of the Judeo-Christian movement, lately called Christian Zionism. The latest prognosticator, is F. Kenton Beshore, President of the World Bible Society.  He thinks Hal Lindsey, the author of the widely successful, end times, prophecy book, The Late Great Planet Earth, written in the 1970's, is right, but his date for Armageddon is off a few years.  Pivotal to the end timers' end time beliefs is the founding of the modern state of Israel.  Chuck Carlson takes a look behind the curtain.

To millions of American evangelical Christians, "Who Would Jesus Bomb?" is a $64,000 question.  Especially, if they think the question is connected to the state of Israel.  In this podcast we discuss an interchange between one of We Hold These Truths' directors and a substitute Sunday school teacher at his Bible believing church.  When asked the $64,000 question, the first time, the substitute said that it wasn't covered in the Bible.  And, besides, he went on to say that the people of Iran are not "loveable" and want war.  This is quite an eyeopening program.  For background information on the phenomena of Christian Zionism in evangelical churches throughout America, check out Chuck Carlson's 2001 paper, "Sherry's War:"  Part 1 & Part 2.  You can see John Hagee calling for a preemptive strike against Iran in our documentary, The Roots of Christian Zionism.
