There is Nothing Zionist about These Christians

Max Blumenthal - Rapture Ready: The Unauthorized Christians United for Israel Tour

I don’t call myself a Zionist because I don’t think the ideology is good for Israel, Israelis or Jews, let alone for Palestinians. Blumenthal doesn’t make the mistake of calling the evil nut jobs Zionists, but the usage is so widespread, even among legitimate critics of the so-called Christian supporters of Israel, that I just wanted to make the point.

I am deeply ashamed of Joe Lieberman. Watch the film. You’ll see what I mean.

Blumenthal wrote a bit about making his film over at Huffington Post:

I have covered the Christian right intensely for over four years. During this time, I attended dozens of Christian right conferences, regularly monitored movement publications and radio shows, and interviewed scores of its key leaders. I have never witnessed any spectacle as politically extreme, outrageous, or bizarre as the one Christians United for Israel produced last week in Washington. See for yourself.

Consider the idea that there is a wide range within the Zionist movement, from right-wing to left-wing.
The organization Meretz USA - www.meretzusa.org - is a representative of the elft-wing trend within the Zionist movement, for instance.
Note: I am a founding member of Meretz USA, and am currently its Secretary.
