**US, Israeli right-wingers to hold summit on Middle East **

October 13, 2003

JERUSALEM (AFP) - Leading right-wing figures from the United States and Israel are to hold a conference in Jerusalem Tuesday on key issues in the Middle East, a statement said.

Some 100 politicians and academics are expected to gather in Jerusalem for the summit, which is hosted by the Christian Coalition for Israel.

Among the most senior US guests are Under-Secretary of Defence Richard Perle, a leading neo-conservative hardliner in the Pentagon, and Daniel Pipes, President George W. Bush's adviser on the Middle East.

Several members of the Israeli government are also expected to attend the "Jerusalem Summit", including minister without portfolio Uzi Landau and Tourism Minister Benny Elon, from the far-right National Union party.

Issues ranging from the situation in post-war Iraq to peace between Israel and the Palestinians will be discussed, the statement said.

The gathering coincides with another one organised by the International Christian Embassy, which saw Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon address a 3, 000-strong crowd in Jerusalem on Sunday to mark the Jewish holiday of Sukkot.

Besides the large Jewish lobby in the US Congress, Israel benefits from the unconditional support of the Christian evangelicals, an influential movement within Bush's Republican party.

Boy, I'm sure glad all of those American, religious "RIGHTWINGERS" are keeping America safe from the Jews and their anti-Western racial agenda. Golly gee! What would we do without them??

There is no reason why America should continue to be pimped by Israel when we already have a law on the books forbidding this -- namely, the First Amendment. Each time Congress legislates funding for Israel, it is "respecting an establishment of religion."

The way I see it, Americans who want to end this nation's subversion by Israel have two choices:

(1) mount a legal challenge based on the First Amendment (2) take up arms in a low-intensity, guerrilla-style war against ZOG

Clearly it is better to exhaust option (1) before even thinking about undertaking (2).

There is no group in all of America more opposed to the agenda of the evangelical Christians than the Jews. The Jews have been at the forefront of every single significant separation of church and state battle I can think of, as Goldberg pointed out in Jewish Power. The same is true of abortion, which is a big issue for the evangelicals, which is overwhelmingly supported by the Jews.
