18 March 2012 By Keith Johnson Groups of Evangelical Christian Zionists from the
U.S. are providing free labor to illegal Jewish
settlers in the West Bank of occupied Palestine. According to National Public Radio, "The
Christian volunteers pay for their tickets and cover
their own expenses to come. They work for about six
weeks at a time, mostly in the wineries. Hundreds take
part every year. It's a kind of a work-stay program
with a spiritual purpose." "We take the Bible and we look at those things
and we see that one of the exciting things for us is
that prophecy of scripture is being fulfilled,"
says Tommy Waller, founder of HaYovel, a group that
brings willing gentile slaves to what his website
calls "the mountains of Israel—Where prophecy meets
reality." "We don't bring people here that are expecting
mud baths and skin treatments and things like that,"
says Waller. "We're kind of rough guys, nice guys,
a lot of us are rednecks from the South, wanting to do
a good thing and to help people." Is that right, Waller? Let's let Rabbi Ovadia Yosef
tell you what his Talmud says you are, and why you're
really there: "Goyim were born only to serve us. Without
that, they have no place in the world – only to serve
the People of Israel." "In Israel, death has no dominion over
them…With gentiles, it will be like any person – they
need to die, but [God] will give them longevity. Why?
Imagine that one's donkey would die, they'd lose their
money. This is his servant…That's why he gets a long
life, to work well for this Jew." "Why are gentiles needed? They will work, they
will plow, they will reap. We will sit like an effendi
and eat. That is why gentiles were created." Read the NPR transcript here and

Waller a piece of your mind. |
