Over at Radical Torah, Rabbi Brant delivers a post on this weeks Torah portion which includes the story of the false-prophet, Balaam (or Bilaam in the Hebrew). The Rabbi draws some interesting parallels with (mostly American) Right-wing (mostly) Evangelical Christians who support Israel for their own Apocalyptic ends.

I wonder also about those Christians who – without recourse to the Book of Revelation – support Israel for the reason of the promise “I will bless those who bless you…” and so think America must support Israel-right-or-wrong for the sake of keeping God’s blessing/protection on America.
