On today's episode my guest and I discuss the Israel Lobby.

Today I talk to Grant Smith, director of research at the Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy, about his new book Big Israel: How the Israel Lobby Moves America.
One by one the great nations of Europe imagined themselves as God's new chosen people. The Catholic Church sold each barbarian tribe 100% of the show. The Germans took the logical next step and tried to whipe out the genuine article.
ReplyDelete"American Exceptionalism" and America's identification with Israel are just the latest manifestation of gentile election-envy. It's pagan self-idolatry masquerading as Christian piety.
