Exposing AIPAC & John Hagee’s CUFI As Unregistered Agents For Israel
Craig Hanson, We Hold These Truths' California Outreach Director, reports on the recent 2017 Christians United For Israel (CUFI) annual conference held in Washington, DC. Craig reveals in his analysis what should be obvious: AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) and CUFI should fall under the US government's Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). "FARA is a disclosure statute that requires persons acting as agents of foreign principals in a political or quasi-political capacity to make periodic public disclosure of their relationship with the foreign principal, as well as activities, receipts and disbursements in support of those activities. Disclosure of the required information facilitates evaluation by the government and the American people of the statements and activities of such persons in light of their function as foreign agents." In attendance at the CUFI conference were Vice President Mike Pence and Israeli Prime MInister, Benjamin Netanyahu (via live video conferencing). (22 minurtes )
We Hold These Truths held our first vigil at a synagogue (Congregation Ner Tamid in San Francisco) that hosted a John Hagee's Christians United For Israel event. We were joined by two activists from Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), Paul Larudee of the Free Palestine Movement, Jesuit priest, Father Steve and 8 WHTT supporters. In this program, Jim Haber of JVP and Paul Larudee provide interesting insights into the Israel/Palestine conflict from their perspectives. Veteran WHTT vigilers, Craig Hanson, Patty Ford and Chuck Carlson discuss the vigil and the gradual awakening to the dangers of Christian Zionism by more Americans. Here's the 
At an upcoming Christians United For Israel event in Sacramento, CA neo-con talk show host, Dennis Prager will be the featured speaker. In this program we discuss an article by Dennis Prager that equates "Anti-Zionism" to "Anti-Semitism." 
John Hagee and Christians United For Israel used to ignore WHTT vigils in front of their events. Now, they are engaging us. At a recent vigil in Sacramento, both a pastor from the church and a CUFI staff member came out to do "battle" with us. The analysis of those dialogs with Chuck Carlson and Craig Hanson provide an eye opening view into the theology of Christian Zionism.
At a recent vigil in the Bay Area at a Christians United For Israel (CUFI) event our intrepid vigil leader, Craig Hanson, went inside to witness the event and reports on the attack made on WHTT using the worn out and baseless "anti-semitism" smear tactic. Never mind the facts! We also review actions by Jewish Voice for Peace activists in Colorado to support a resolution to make Boulder, CO a sister city with Nablus in the West Bank of Palestine. Zionists forces applied pressure to defeat the measure but WHTT friend, Bob Prince of the Front Range Jewish Voice for Peace says the Zionists are losing ground.
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
