Together with MKs Yuri Stern and Gila Gamliel, Elon is attending the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) convention in Anaheim, California, the largest annual gathering of Christian broadcasters.
At a press conference today, Elon will release his new book, "God's Covenant with Israel: Establishing Biblical Boundaries in Today's World." Dotted with personal anecdotes and recollections, the book traces the Jewish People's connection with the Land of Israel from a national and historic perspective. It debunks purported evidence about Moslem ties to the Holy Land, and shows that Islam relates to Christians, as well as to Jews, as infidels.
The book also includes chapters on Elon's "Right Road to Peace" plan and on Israel's Biblical inheritance of the Land. A separate section exhorts readers to "Get involved!,' while another lists key Prophetic Scriptures about Israel. A report from Palestinian Media Watch and a study of the international legal status of Israel and the settlements is also included.
Elon, who as two-time Tourism Minister forged strong ties with many Christian lovers of Israel, feels that they are "our strategic partners." In his many meetings with Christians around the country, he emphasizes the following points:
* The cease-fire with the terrorists currently under consideration is a complete sham and must not be seen as real peace.
* The Land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people. Any transfer of part of Biblical Israel, including Judea, Samaria and Gaza, runs counter to Biblical principles, is dangerous to Israel and poses a threat to the security of the entire western world.
* PM Sharon's disengagement plan, if carried out, would be the first step in Israel's capitulation to terrorism and radical Islam and as such must be opposed vehemently.
"We will not permit the creation of a terrorist state in our Biblical heartland," Elon says. "I intend to fight PM Sharon's plan tooth and nail in Israel, the U.S. and around the world."
Israel's Tourism Ministry sponsored a breakfast at the Christian broadcasters' convention yesterday, but did not allow the MKs to appear. Though the NRB political line opposes the abandoning of Jewish land to the Arabs, the official Israeli position expressed there was one of support for Sharon and his policies.
NRB board member Michael Little said that evangelical Christians believe that God gave Israel to the Jews, while outgoing NRB chairman Glenn Plummer noted that in the Bible, "God does not identify himself as the God of Abraham, Ishmael and his descendants," but rather as that of Abraham, Isaac and descendants. Plummer, an African-American pastor from Detroit, told the Christian and Jewish audience that "when Islam comes into a place, their intent is to take over everything."
