The New Christian Zionism

Nicole Greenfield: Max Blumenthal comments on David Brog as Washington’s first full-time lobbyist for Christian Zionists–specifically for John Hagee’s Christians United for Israel–in a web-only piece for The Nation. Brog has experience inside the Beltway, connections to Bush, and is also a Jew. It is this personal engagement with both evangelicals and Jews that makes Brog such an interesting–and important–character for the Christian Zionist movement. And while Blumenthal tries hard to make sense of it all, the mainstream press remains completely silent. Apparently a politically influential Jew telling the adminstration that Israel at war is a good thing isn’t much of a story these days.
