(IsraelNN.com) It is easier to find Baptist ministers than rabbis who are prepared to join the struggle against the government's evacuation plan, according to New York State Assemblyman Dov Hikind. He has signed up ministers to join about 100 American Jews who plan to visit Jewish communities in Gaza in early June. One of the most vocal Christian supporters of Jewish presence in Gaza and northern Samarian, which the government wants to give to Arabs, is Reverend James Vineyard. “The Bible says that land belongs to the Jews,” said the Oklahoma preacher. “The Lord, God of Israel, is not going to look favorably on the giving-away of one grain of sand. If America causes Israel to give away Gush Katif, Israel goes down the tubes, and as goes Israel, so goes America.”
Hikind said he is frustrated at his ability to sign up more Jewish leaders to visit the endangered communities in Israel. Among those scheduled to leave for Israel on June 5 are a non-Jewish state senator.
