Take a look at the 25 countries who sponsored it: Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, Cuba, EGYPT, Guinea, IRAQ, JORDAN, Kuwait, LEBANON, Libyan Arab Republic, Mauritania, Morocco, North Yemen, Oman, Qatar, SAUDI ARABIA, Somalia, South Yemen, Sudan, SYRIA Arab Republic, Tunisia, and United Arab Emirates.

In bold are all the states that attacked Israel in 1948, before there were any ’settlements’

Cuba and Guinea attacked Israel in 1948? How did this happen?

Can you provide a link

I have listened to many Hagee speeches and have even heard him APOLOGIZE on behalf of the Roman Church and America’s evangelicals for not doing enough to stop Hitler

Which only points out all the more clearly how two-faced Hagee is. Or perhaps you can explain to us how he both blames Jewish “sinners” for bringing the Holocaust on their own people and apologizes on behalf of Christianity not doing enough to stop it. Or do YOU perhaps believe that some Jews brought the Holocaust on the rest of us??

“Do you seriously think this would have passed were it not for the settlements?”

“Maybe it is because there is no evidence of his involvement with the munich incident”.

Don’t minimize the loss of life by calling it an ‘incident’. There is evidence of PLO involvement in the Munich Massacre. A U.S. State Department document dated March 13, 1973 is a primary source indicating a link between Black September Organization and Fatah, the PLO faction controlled by Arafat. Then you go on to mention the involvement of Israeli leaders in militancy in the pre-state period and specifically the bombing of the King David Hotel. Your attempt to draw a moral equivalency between the two is laughable but that can be the subject of another post. At the end of the day, Palestinian terrorism is Palestinian terrorism and the UN condones it.

“Many say that the translation of him calling for the destruction of Israel was distorted”
If you want to play semantic word games while he denies the Holocaust, promises another one, and builds nuclear weapons to initiate one, then feel free. You strike me as the same person who would read Mein Kampf and conclude that Hitler was just misunderstood.

“Also if he really did call for such a thing why hasn’t Israel pressed this case to the UN?” I’m surprised Israel hasn’t gone to the UN. After all, Israel entrusted the U.N. to protect the northern border when they left Lebanon in 2000. We all saw how that worked out.

“I also don’t see how any Jew could describe a man who believes Jews brought the holocaust on themselves”
I have listened to many Hagee speeches and have even heard him APOLOGIZE on behalf of the Roman Church and America’s evangelicals for not doing enough to stop Hitler. He also lamented the fact that the Nazis themselves were baptized Christians, implying that classical Christian persecution of Jews was also at work. Many Christians would not take this position, instead choosing to distance their religion from that of the Nazis but Hagee did not. He made no excuses.

And for the record, I am on record in this blog as favoring international war crimes charges against Israeli generals AND Palestinian terrorists responsible for killing civilians.
