Beyond Armageddon |
| Issue: 1992, Volume 25, Issue 4 |
| Subject: Evangelical Christians|Holy Land |
| Author: Wagner, Donald E. |
| Issue Description: Some Evangelical Christians believe that the return of Jews to the Promised Land is the sign of the imminent Second Coming of Christ, when ‘true’Christians will be raptured into the upper air, and the rest of humankind will be slaughtered. 144,000 Jews will bow down before Christ and be saved, but the rest of Jewry will perish in this mother of all holocausts. This issue looks at who these Evangelicals are (some prominent TV personalities), why they are wooed by Israeli officials, and what their impact is on U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. It also looks at a growing number of Evangelicals who are concerned about what happens to the indigenous Palestinians when hundreds of thousands of Jews colonize their land. The Commandment, Thou Shalt Not Steal, comes to mind. |

A Reply to Henry Kissinger and Fouad Ajami |
| Issue: 1992, Volume 25, Issue 5 |
| Subject: History|Media|Zionism |
| Author: Finkelstein, Norman |
Issue Description: As a graduate student at Princeton University Norman Finkelstein challenged the accuracy of Joan Peters’s “From Time Immemorial,”which claimed that the Palestinians never did constitute an indigenous majority in those areas of Palestine that became Israel in 1948. [See The Link, Jan.-March 1985.] Since then, at considerable detriment to his own career, Norman continues to challenge those myths that suggest that Palestinians deserve what they got and, moreover, are even blessed that
they ended up with such benevolent occupiers. |
