Mel on the cross

Hollywood may shun Mel Gibson for his anti-Semitic ravings, but the right wing in George Bush's increasingly hate-filled America won't.

    Evangelicals support Jews

    The pretext of this article is completely wrong. Most Evangelicals I speak with here in Texas (that is, deep in the loins of the Bible Belt) are studying their Jewish roots in the Old Testament and pledging their undying support for Israel--regardless of the consequences. My dear mother (an dyed-in-the-wool Evangelical) imparts that it is Christians' "morale command" to support the Jewish homeland to facilitate the Apocalypse (and she calls ME crazy for disavowing belief in a literal "end of the world/hellfire and brimstone" scenario!!!).
