"xenophobic orthodox rabbis who hold Christianity in contempt embracing dispensationalists who look forward to the...end of the Jews"

It's not a new theme, but Jeff Halper's article on Israel's role "as an Extension of U.S. empire" is worth a read.

Halper clearly and concisely describes the symbiotic drunken hook-up that is Zionist/neo-con relations. He cites the spawn of this melee, a manifesto called the Jerusalem Declaration, to the effect that the failure to create an Israel that encompasses all of historic Palestine "may well spell doom for civilization itself"; creating a "PLO state" in the West Bank and Gaza would constitute "a historical injustice of colossal proportion."

Give it a read, then send Pat Robertson a congrajulatory note for recieving Israel's Freedom Award in 2004.
