“The Israeli government has a long relationship with American evangelicals, ... They have been cultivated as a domestic pro-Israel political constituency, as well as a source of foreign exchange through the tourism industry, so offering some land sounds like an effort to deepen and expand those political and financial relationships.”
“While immigration of large numbers of American evangelicals to Israel might sound appealing to many Israelis -- especially as further Middle Eastern wars seem possible -- Rabbi Boteach's notion of inviting hundreds of thousands of American evangelicals to Israel with the expectation that they would not evangelise is silly,”
“Evangelisation is what evangelicals are supposed to do. It is a central element of their religious identity that they will certainly be unwilling to erase.”
