Nixon: If only the Jews would behave…. http://blogs.jta.org/ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE/nixon-if-only-the-jews-would-behave/ Richard Nixon and Billy Graham talk about how Jews are fostering anti-Semitism in a recording released by the Nixon Library. en-us efingerhut@jta.org Copyright 2009 2009-06-24T;17:20:00-05:00 Comment by gael matheson lan.math@hotmail.com Since Dr.Billy Graham’s circa 1970 observation of a general antisemitism “deep down in this country”, it has emerged, but not generally; rather specifically: in a transmogrified and most virulent form possible -in the proposed and stated policies of mainline Protestant denominations, who, along with their North American & European cohorts and umbrella organizations, continue (as recently as June 9, 2009 ) to seek to de-legitimize and demonize that unique religio-historical, Torah-based reality of People=Land, Israel. This dark, new “Christian” antisemitic reality, but less than sixty years after the Holocaust, behooves the Church universal (yet again!), the TRUE Church , to monitor, report on, expose and denounce it for what it is. Otherwise, silence will be construed as consent. Yet again!

Devenow attymsd@gmail.com I listened to these tapes (thanks to JTA for the link) - all twenty minutes, six seconds and I must say that there exists nothing in them which even remotely makes Nixon out as an anti-semite. The person calling the tune over the course of this recorded phone conversation - utzing, if you will - is the Reverend Graham who is playing to Nixon’s insecurities and paranoia to the point of eliciting certain comments which look very bad as a matter of historical record (and may even be revealing as to certain deep seated prejudices which Nixon harbored). However, it pays to remember that when the chips were down, some nine or ten months later, Nixon put his foot down directly against the grain of the Pentagon and ordered a massive resupply of munitions to Israel in a manner which allowed her to turn the tide against our enemies. As for the description of the Reverend Graham as “an uneducated street tent preacher”, I think that amounts to a pitch perfect description - except for leaving out, or eliding his dangerous talent for demagoguery. Thankfully, that latter element seems to have passed even before the right Reverend has met his physical demise..

As far as Israel signing NNPT-Hell NO WAY!!! Israel cannot give in to this one. The US is bullying Israel-Israel must say no to this one. Billy Graham fooled alot of Christians. And he is no real Christian in my opinion. Christians are commanded to love and support the Jewish people and Israel, it is a commandment from G_D. I believe there is alot more support for Israel in the US than the government wants to admit-and trys to give false impressions about this because it goes against the Obama administration’s goals.
