On October 25, while an overflow crowd of 1,500 poured into the first convention of the progressive-leaning Israel-oriented lobbying organization J Street, Elie Wiesel addressed a crowd of 6,000 Christian Zionists at Pastor John Hagee's "Night To Honor Israel." According to the San Antonio Express News, while Wiesel sat by his side, Hagee trashed President Barack Obama, baselessly accusing him of "being tougher on Israel than on Russia, Iran, China and North Korea."
Meanwhile, Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren, who appeared at Hagee's Christians United for Israel summit earlier this year, rejected J Street's request to speak at their convention, instead dispatching a low-level embassy official to "observe" the event. Oren then accused J Street of "impair[ing] Israel's interests."
In blessing Hagee while damning J Street, Wiesel and Oren chose an anti-Semitic group led by a far-right End Times theology preacher over a fledgling progressive organization that bills itself as "pro-Israel, pro-peace." And both Wiesel and Oren seem to be embroiled in yet another controversy over involvement with the extremist preacher.
"My dear pastor when I hear that Christians are getting together in order to defend the people of Israel, of course it brings joy to my heart," Wiesel told Hagee in a September 3 interview. "And it simply says, look, people have learned from history." (Hagee is hawking DVD's of his Wiesel interview for $15 each on his personal website, turning footage of the encounter into a windfall profit.)More after video below:

Hagee is one of the most powerful men in america. He is huge on the rapture and the push to christian zionism. Millions have fallen for his blasphemy.
Lieberman is right up there too and he is the American VP. He said, "you don't have to be Jewish to be a Zionist" and is a huge supporter of all these things. I have heard him spoken of as a Jew, and with his name, etc, that is entirely possible. That really does not matter to be honest.
What does matter is his sentiments like those commanded by Hagee lie with Israel and in most cases they are more rabid than even Israelis.
Hagee is huge on fear mongering his flock and putting a pro Israel twist to it, so there must be much more to this than a few lines taken out of context. He walks with Satan himself so he just might have his finger on the pulse more than you and I.
well if is a anti-semita the one who do not like a zionism.... or la Kosher Nosstra ..... I am a proud to be one
