[livejournal.com profile] thejennatheory has posted something in [livejournal.com profile] orthodoxy which I would like to call to your attention. Yes, it is about the Lebanon. No, it isn't just for paleocons, Orthodox Christians, or even generic Christians. The original is here.

I Do Not Understand...

...the failure of so many Western Christians to understand that the most rabid right-wing Zionists in Israel--who are extremely influential in Likud, et. al.--hate the Christian presence in the "Holy Land" almost as much as they hate the Muslim one. The evidence of foreclosures, of harassment of Arab Christian children--it's all there.

Also, I am beginning to suspect that the Dispensationalists rabid support of Israel in this country ALSO involves animosity towards and disdain of Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism, which are the chosen Christian denominations of Arabs.

Ignorance is the case here. Your average "dispensationalist" has never even heard the term "dispensationalism", and much less has knowledge of Arab Christianity in the slightest.
