=== Anti-Semitism ===
 
Anti-Semitism was brought on by the Jews themselves according to Pastor John Hagee, best-selling author and prominent Israel supporter. Hagee is the founder of the national lobbying group "Christians United For Israel". In his 2006 book, "Jerusalem Countdown", Hagee writes:
 
 
<blockquote>
 
<p>It was the disobedience and rebellion of the Jews, God's chosen people,
 
to their covenantal responsibility to serve only the one true God, Jehovah,
 
that gave rise to the opposition and persecution that they experienced beginning
 
in Canaan and continuing to this very day....</p>
 
 
<p>How utterly repulsive, insulting, and heartbreaking to God for His chosen
 
people to credit idols with bringing blessings He had showered upon the chosen
 
people. Their own rebellion had birthed the seed of anti-Semitism that would
 
arise and bring destruction to them for centuries to come....it rises from the
 
judgment of God uppon his rebellious chosen people.
