Jew Love
09 January 2006"'I feel jealous sometimes. This term that keeps coming up in the Old Book -- the Chosen, the Chosen.'" The Washington Post's Alan Cooperman delivers another thoughtful report, about the evangelical-Jewish alliance, using the pastorship of the Jew-loving, Southern Baptist Rev. Lamarr Mooneyham as representation of the phenomenon of evangelical "philo-Semitism" -- lately a very hot topic as liberal and moderate Jews begin to publically air their anxieties about the longer-term intentions -- and biblical motivations -- of Judaism's new best friends, and question whether, as New Republic editor Leon Wieseltier says, such fixations are ultimately, "'both Semitisms...forms of obsession about the Jews.'"
