I've Been Thinking:
GodTV and the Hebrew Christian Channel has been in the news of late. They are clearly looking to attract converts from Israel.
Israelis are livid about the station’s content and their intent to convert Israelis to charismatic Christianity.
But can you really blame them? The station never hid their intentions.
Jews in general and Israeli leadership, in particular, misread their intent. They simply thought that they would be content with the support of Christian Zionists and table their ultimate goal of converting Jews.
They were simply naïve.
Israel should have stipulated that when the Christian media was sanctioned and allowed to broadcast conversion and issues related to conversion not be broadcast.
But Israel didn’t do that.
From the point of view of Christian TV, it’s quite simple. Christians support Israel because they want Jews to convert and because they firmly understand that supporting Israel is doing God’s will.
Christians who support Israel have an agenda that they do not hide. Israelis who nurture Christian support know well what the Christians want.
It is Israeli leadership that didn’t understand.
