Texas, Christians and bad-ass Hebrews
Jay Nordlinger offers this letter from a reader in his latest post:
Hey Jay,
My parents live in the Texas Hill Country, about ten miles outside of Fredericksburg specifically, and on the road to their place is a house that has three flagpoles out front: flying Old Glory, the Texas flag, and the Israeli flag.Every time I’m in the Hill Country and we drive by that house, I think of a Texan I heard who admiringly described the Israelis as “bad-ass Hebrews.”
God bless Israel and God bless Texas.
This fits nicely with several things I've observed over the years:
- American Jews have an irrational fear of Evangelical Christians.
- American Jews aren't nearly as supportive of Israel as are many Evangelical Christians.
- And there are more reasons to like Texas -- and Texans -- than I can count. I'll add this to the list.
Bad-ass Hebrews. I like that.
