TOM DELAY's SPEECH TO ISRAELIS

Submitted by GENE C. SPROUL (United States), Dec 6, 2007 at 19:18

I understand that there are many who, for whatever reason, really do not want peace in Palestine.

Some months ago I heard a report that Tom DeLay had given a talk to the Israeli "parliament" to the effect that Israel should not "make peace" with the Palestinians because it would interfere with the Second Coming, Armegedon (sp?), or whatever. Could you confirm that report for me? Is there any way I could get a transcript of DeLays remarks?

What is your position on the Christian "Zionists"?
