AND JERRY SHALL LEAD THEM... :

Those who curse the Jews and those who bless them . . . (Dennis Prager, July 31, 2002, Jewish World Review)

In 1973, during the Arab embargo on oil exports that followed the Yom Kippur War between Israel and Egypt, many Americans had to deal with embargo-induced hour-long lines at gas stations, gas rationing, and various setbacks to the economy. As a result, some called for our abandonment of Israel for the sake of oil.

Those voices were not heard among evangelical Christians.

In fact, in a television broadcast from his church to his many followers, the Rev. Jerry Falwell said that he would sooner give up his car and ride a bicycle than yield to Arab blackmail. Citing Genesis (12:3), he explained that G-d "will bless those who bless the Jews and curse whoever curses the Jews."

Look at who most blesses the Jews and who most curses them, and you decide whether the verse in Genesis has validity.
