I see it less, dramatically less in young Christians. On its current course it is self destructive. I think of the "letter" from Kirk that has been talked about so much as a sign he was turning. He was right. Bibi is destroying support for their cause.

It's a fringe theory created and promoted by Darby and Scofield.
Scofield reference bible sold 2 million copies by 1930
update: Bibi needs to retire from politics, he became PM the first time in 1996 after his predecessor was assassinated

Yeah, I'm well versed in it. Most that follow this theory do not understand it. It's mostly emotional. It's not hard to disprove intellectually. But it's mostly emotional.

He really has done so much harm to the cause of Zionism.

The bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem on July 22, 1946, was carried out by the Irgun (or Irgun Zvai Leumi), a militant right-wing Zionist underground organization.

Key Details:

  • Perpetrators: The Irgun, led by Menachem Begin.
  • Target: The southern wing of the hotel, which housed the central offices of the British Mandatory Palestine administration, including the Secretariat and the headquarters of the British Armed Forces.
  • Motive: The attack was conducted in response to "Operation Agatha" (also known as "Black Saturday"), a series of British raids in which incriminating documents related to the Jewish insurgency against the British were seized and taken to the hotel. The Irgun's main goal was to destroy these documents and strike a blow against British rule.
  • Casualties: The explosion killed 91 people—Arabs, Britons, and Jews—and injured 46.
  • Context: The bombing occurred during the Jewish insurgency against the British Mandate in Palestine (1920–1948). The Irgun claimed to have delivered telephoned warnings to evacuate the hotel before the blast, though there is dispute over whether the warnings were received or taken seriously by the British authorities.

Trump’s ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, secretly met Jonathan Pollard—an American sentenced to life in prison for spying against the U.S. for Israel—at the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem; Pollard’s handler, Aviem Sella, was pardoned by Trump.
In 2015, Pollard was released on parole from federal prison. He was not permitted to travel outside the U.S. Five years later, at the end of Trump’s first term, the DOJ declined to extend his parole restrictions, and he moved to Israel.
