Jews and the Christian right: Is the honeymoon over?

    Warning or threat?

    Rabbi Eckstein's warning, "Rhetoric can create an anti-Jewish feeling among good Bible-believing Christians," sounds suspiciously like a threat: "Don't oppose the Evangelical Right's agenda or they'll mess you up bad." It's enlightening how quickly certain self-proclaimed followers of the Prince of Peace resort to threats when somebody disagrees with them. They're bullies, plain and simple, and I applaud Mr. Foxman and Rabbi Yoffie for standing up to them.
