Knesset Christian Caucus blasts Hamas
By ETGAR LEFKOVITS
The landslide Hamas election victory in last week's Palestinian parliamentary
elections is a declaration of religious holy war against both Judaism and
Christianity, the head of the Knesset's Christian Allies Caucus said Monday.
"The establishment of 'Hamastan' run by radical Islam which is openly
anti-Jewish and anti-Christian, and not just anti-Israeli, is a [declaration
of] religious holy war against both our faiths," said Caucus Co-Chairman MK
Yuri Shtern (Israel Beitenu) at the monthly meeting of the parliamentary lobby.
The hawkish Jewish parliamentarian told a gathering of Christian
representatives to the Holy Land that the upset Hamas victory represented not
just a physical danger to Israel and the western world comparable to what
happened in Europe seventy years ago, but a spiritual and religious threat to
Judaism's and Christianity's "civil beliefs, religion and faith."
The highly-politicized meeting of the increasingly-influential cross-party
parliamentary lobby, which marked its second anniversary this month and usually
prides itself on its apolitical stance, was dominated by the shock Hamas
victory.
"As Christians we should see the Hamas victory not as a threat against Israel
and Jews but against us as well," said Rebecca Brimmer, the International
President of the Jerusalem-based 'Bridges for Peace,' a pro-Israel Christian
organization which has worked closely with the caucus in promoting
Christian-Jewish relations around the world.
Brimmer urged the Christian world not to miss the "handwriting on the wall,"
which she said was reminiscent of 1930's Nazi Germany.
"First they come for the Saturday people, and then they come for the Sunday
people," she said.
In an unusually broad mix of Christian leaders, black-hooded representatives of
the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, the Russian Orthodox Mission, the Syrian
Orthodox Church and the Armenian Orthodox Patriarch sat in the crowd together
with the Evangelical Christian leaders in the Holy Land who regularly frequent
the monthly event, which has become de rigueur for Jerusalem-based Christian
supporters of Israel.
The parliamentary lobby, which includes 14 Knesset members from seven political
parties across the political spectrum, has come to epitomize Israel's newfound
interest in garnering the support of the Christian world in the 21st century,
especially the largely pro-Israel Evangelical Christian community around the
world.
Hamas, which is the largest and most powerful of the Palestinian terror
organizations and advocates Israel's destruction, has carried out scores of
suicide bombings over the last five years of Palestinian violence, killing
hundreds of Israeli civilians.
"As the rise of radical Islam looms over us, it is no coincidence that Jews and
Christians are coming together around the world in an unprecedented burst of
activity," said caucus director Josh Reinstein.
