I’ve been following Pastor Hagee since 1985, and indeed, that piece sounds nothing like his usual bombast and drama. I think you are definitely on to something in asking that question.
I find the entire reasoning behind the Forward’s decision to publish the so-called Hagee piece (I smell a rat here too) suspect. I don’t know why any Jewish publication would want to expose their readers to the likes of Hagee, and Norich’s “I would guess that many of them would welcome a clear expression of John Hagee’s views on issues of concern to Jews” is just flimsy. Someone else wrote the piece (IMHO), and someone other than Hagee may have pushed for its publication, and that same someone wanted it published without the option of reader commentary. Seeing that Zionism is becoming more and more aggressive, and more and more irrational in its behaviors and tactics, I’m looking at this all with a very, very large grain of salt.
