Christian Action for Israel

The role of religion is very important in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The alleged foundations of the Israeli state were based on the Biblical ideas of the "Jewish homeland". My focus, though, won't be directly on religion in Israel or Palestine, but the role of religion in influencing the opinion of the American and Canadian public.
I stumbled across a very interesting site called "Christian Action for Israel", which deals with the state of Israel and its rights on the land. One of the articles there was called "Witness to the Nations" with the subtitle - "Occupation? Don't buy the misinformation!"
The authors' main argument is the Bible, as is usual with religious people. For example, when they speak about the "lack of biblical/historical knowledge and understanding" (see the irony there?), they say that "Arab/Muslim hatred of the Jews, and or, an ancient jealousy of them that burns deeply in the hearts of Israel's Arab kin..." This shows us the image that the Israeli's and/or Christians are superior to the Muslims, who supposedly feel an ancient jealousy towards the Christians and Jews. They do not put any sort of referencing or sources, and it is very obvious that it is the ideas of the "other" that are pervasive here.
They also ask "What does God, creator of the heavens and the earth have to say about this tiny tract of land called Israel in His Word - the Holy Bible", when actually, as every Christian ought to know, the Holy Bible is NOT the Word of God, unlike the K'uran, for example. That is just a theological fact, but is often ignored in cases like this.

Another interesting article was the Senate Floor Statement by the current Senator of Oklahoma, James M. Inhofe, on March 4th, 2002. I've put up the link from the Senator's web page, because the one on the Christian Action site had some mistakes (i.e. date of the Six-Day War).
Anyway, he talks about the history of the area (or at least, an interpretation of it) and gives a lot of ridiculous statements such as ""If this [peace] is something that Israel wants to do, it is their business to do it. But anyone who has tried to put the pressure on Israel to do this [peace] is wrong" or "Where was this great Palestinian nation [in 1867]? It did not exist. It was not there. Palestinians were not there" and "If we are not going to allow them a homeland in the Middle East, then where? What other nation on Earth is going to cede territory, is going to give up land?". The goal of his speech is to give the 7 reasons why Israel is entitled to the land, and his strongest argument is: "No. 7, I believe very strongly that we ought to support Israel; that it has a right to the land. This is the most important reason: Because God said so."
Obviously, he must be very popular with the people of Oklahoma, who are generally thought of as religious people, since he has been their Senator since 1994. His general platform about issues involving the U.S. such as social issues, not just foreign relations, are generally guided by religion. In an interview with the "General Council of the Assemblies of God" in June 2002, he talked about he brought religion to the Senate. Actually, the title of the interview is "Seving Christ in the Senate". Talking about key issues for Christians, he mentions the Middle East and the Scriptures, "I don’t believe there is a single issue we deal with in government that hasn’t been dealt with in the Scriptures." Basically, his entire political platform is based on religion, and so are his views of the Middle East and the solution to the problem of the conflict in Palestine. Just following the words of God.

I also found an interesting video on YouTube, which has been filmed at a conference called "Christians United for Israel". The video is from June 2008, but it shows how some fundamental Christians in the United States think about Israel and Palestine. The video itself is pretty ridiculous and, frankly, somewhat disturbing. One hears people say that the U.S. and Israel "have a common enemy, the Muslim people", and that Christians "are fighting what is behind the Muslim people, which is Satan" and ideas that if the U.S. does not support Israel, the Muslims will take over Israel and Iraq (?!) and then come to take the U.S. Unfortunately, in the U.S. religious people seem to have more power than in any other 'Western' country and they help keep the support for Israel high, on the basis of the Bible and their pre-conceptions of Jews and Arabs.

What do you think? Should we try to get "secular" in this issue? Do you think we can actually achieve piece without being secular? Any other thoughts?
