Israel, End Times And Hagee
- #MessianicCrusaders In Israel’s army, more officers are now religious. What that means.
- #VerrryScarrrry Bibi’s new government: A narrow, right-wing and ultra-Orthodox government with a solid majority of 67 Knesset members, hence its nickname: “the 67 government.” This does not refer to the ’67 border lines, but to the 67 Knesset members of the coalition from which this government will be assembled. Most of these Knesset members do not recognize the two-state solution and the 1967 lines; while these are viewed by the global community as the basis for all negotiations vis-à-vis the Palestinians, these Knesset members view them as fictitious.
