Strange bedfellows, these. Peace not a priority with either group.

(2,707 posts)but somehow that escapes a lot of people. I'm a progressive on most things, but I've never truly understood how any "progressive" could ever sympathize with Israel's regressive enemies. The Islamic extremists make Huckabee types look like jokes. I can't imagine how popular abortion rights and safe unmarried sex are in such societies.
American leaders, when in office, haven't talked about this "rapture." Iran's leaders do theirs a lot.

(53,833 posts)Doesn't mean they won't use the ones who are. It's easier to get in bed with Jew haters who will give you money, than those who just hate you.
