Max Blumenthal – Video: Rapture Ready, the Christians United for Israel convention

By Mary Rizzo • Feb 10th, 2010 • Category: Interviews, Israel, Newswire, Religion, Video, Zionism

Max Blumenthal is just fantastic, as usual. His approach, halfway between deadpan and ironic, always allows the persons interviewed to feel free to express themselves, and the platform he offers them provides us with an image that we have to see and try to understand.
