Speaking at a press conference in Jerusalem, Mike Evans, who runs the “Jerusalem Prayer Team,” lambasted the members of the unity government who will face a confirmation vote on Sunday, calling them a coalition of Arab anti-Zionists and post-Zionists who will “wave a white flag” and surrender to radical Islam. He said the upcoming Knesset vote was “for or against Zionism.”
“Bibi Netanyahu is the only man in the world that unites evangelicals,” he said.
“The evangelicals are going to stand with Bibi Netanyahu,” he said. “If Bibi Netanyahu goes into the opposition, evangelicals — my 77 million people — will go into the opposition with him.”
Asked later by reporters if he would work against the government of Israel, he clarified: “We will still support the State of Israel but we will not have the same position we had before, because we won’t have trust and trust is everything.”
Evans has been on a campaign in recent days to persuade Israelis not to ditch Netanyahu, making his point in a vituperative post on The Times of Israel’s blog platform, in which he said God had chosen Netanyahu to lead Israel.
His post accused leaders of the anti-Netanyahu “change bloc” of seeking to “crucify a man they hate and they’re willing to destroy the nation to do it,” and called them “rabid dogs possessed with power and revenge.”
He compared them to Jewish leaders during the Holocaust and appeared to blame Jews for bringing the Nazi death camps upon themselves, writing: “German Jews were busy insulting each other, drunk on the wine of pride. They did not see the smoke of Auschwitz rising because they were more German than they were Jews.”
Evans also released an open letter to Prime Minister-designate Naftali Bennett, calling him a “disgusting disappointment” and accused him of “shitting on the face” of US evangelicals.
He apologized for that on Monday, saying that Bennett “has actually been a strong Zionist most of the time I know him, and he deserves more respect.”
“I want to personally apologize to Naftali Bennett because I used some harsh statements and rude language,” he said.
But during his press conference, he again launched an attack on change bloc leaders, saying they were “blinded by your hatred, by your petty politics and your obsession with power.” READ MORE
