(IsraelNN.com) The leading Israel-based Christian Zionist website, Jerusalem Newswire, carried an editorial this week by Stan Goodenough linking the devastation caused to the East Coast of the United States to the American policies encouraging the expulsion of Jews from Gaza, Judea and Samaria.

Noting that two weeks ago "the monster Katrina was not on any radar screen," Goodenough writes that the hurricane is "the lifting of God's hand of protection... the implementation of His judgment on the nation most responsible for endangering the land and people of Israel."

A report from Louisiana in the same news outlet quotes a local Christian Zionist as saying that the hurricane and subsequent mass evacuations are "a direct 'coming back on us' [for] what we did to Israel: a home for a home."

It is interesting to note that the ten thousand people who were uprooted from their homes  in Israel make up 1/600 of the 6 million people of this land, and the 500,000 people ordered to leave their homes in the USA make up 1/600 of the 300 million people of the USA.
