CUFI Entices Donors for Israel with Christmas Ornament

Christians United for Israel, the apocalyptic advocacy group founded by San Antonio televangelist John Hagee, has just announced a generous donor who offered to match donations of up to $500,000, to help it raise a million dollars by the end of the year.

CUFI has always maintained — despite all evidence to the contrary — that it is primarily motivated by concern for Israel and the Jews, not by Hagee’s apocalyptic vision for the return of Jesus at Armageddon. In its fundraising solicitation, though, in which CUFI “invite[s] you to give a gift that will make a difference for Israel and the Jewish people,” the organization offers a incentive of “a special Christmas ornament that will remind you and all who see it of the connection between Jesus, His people and their land.”
