A ecent blogpost by Mike Evans, a leading Christian Zionist leader celebrated by Benjamin Netanyahu, Donald Trump and a host of prominent Israeli institutions exposes, says author Joshua Shanes “the extent to which Trump’s ‘pro-Israel’ actions were completely an Evangelical dance”.
The evangelical covenant with Israel was, it seems, a personal covenant with Netanyahu.

This potty lot indeed seem as if they are New Crusaders. They may think it.
The original Crusaders who captured Jerusalem back in 1099 cleaned up the holy city by killing all of the Muslims and Jews living within it. Then they turned on the indigenous Christians also. The original Crusaders were very poorly educated or actually illiterate. The Crusaders relied upon what they were told and consequently they had some very peculiar notions.
