David Brog: The Truth About Christian Zionists, Why pro-Israel Christians really support the Jewish state, push for sanctions on Iran, and want the United States to stop pressuring Jerusalem - 'It is curious -- and deeply disappointing -- to observe the way in which some figures on the pro-Israel American left discuss the phenomenon of Christian support for Israel. These are people who are capable of discerning subtle shifts in the mood of the Arab street. They delve into the complexities of Hamas politics and report back to us on apparent -- if often meaningless -- policy distinctions. But when the subject turns from Israel's enemies to Israel's friends, their palate grows dull. Suddenly, the shades of gray disappear and all that remains is stark black and white...'
Dear David Brog,
I have been trying to get in touch with you about a possible speaking engagement, but your publisher does not seem to have a correct business telephone number for you.
This seems a particularly difficult moment in the history of Israel & a good time for Jews to know who their friends are. I am a member of the Adult Educagtion Committee of Temple Judea of Bucks County (in Doylestown, PA), & have proposed to my fellow Committee members that we invite a speaker on the topic of Christian Zionism.
You would be a wonderful speaker. Would you be available? At this point we are just at the fact-finding stage, but would very much like to hear from you. I've sent you an email at >info@davidbrog.com
Thanks very much.
