US Christian Group Raising Funds to Block the Two-State Solution

Christian Friends of Israeli Communities (CFOIC) - a US non-profit organization dedicated to supporting settlements, and especially settlements in the West Bank heartland - is raising funds these days using a very simple message: help us block the two-state solution. And we are not talking small money here: according to CFOIC's tax filings, in 2008 the group sent $1.1 million in cash support for West Bank settlers (as well as for settlers removed from Gaza).

CFOIC's latest fundraising pitch (click here to view/download a copy), sent out in an email this morning, ends with the following exhortation:

"Today even many who support Israel's right to exist and to have safe and secure borders have adopted the two-state solution concept. But even if the whole world should choose this as the answer, as all major governments have, God's children must never compromise. Our only real choice is to stand firm on the word of God! I choose to stand with the residents of Judea and Samaria. Will you join me? Even in these tough economic times, by making a generous contribution to support the people of Judea and Samaria, the people who are standing on God's word by living on His land, you, too, are choosing to stand on His word and to be blessed!Stand with Israel and Donate Now..."

it is claimed that the only reason the settlement enterprise increased under Rabin (late in His Presidency) is because of the financial support of the fundamentalist Christian Right. These are not our friends. We are Part 4 of their 5 Part fantasy play about the "return of their messiah" Tha fact that this continues is totally unsurprising. AIPAC is a disgrace because this is the type of support they really garner from the States. I am praying also Obama will condemn the forced evistion of Palestinians from Silwan and other places in Jerusalem. The recent forced evictions of Palestinians from their homes has the sniff of apartheid and ethnic cleansing. Not a good look for us.
