Christian Zionists, ok; antisemites, no!

The analysis of Christian Zionism is valuable, but the idea that someone like Jerry Fallwell - an open antisemite (see the various studies by the ADL and other reputable organizations) - is a friend of the Jews is ludicrous. The trap we must avoid is to accept a Jew-hater because he is (for reasons of his own) supportive of Israel is frightening.
