Mike Evans calls himself “the largest evangelical leader in the world.” That might explain why folks listen when he opens his mouth. And boy, has it been wide open lately.
First, there was the public letter he issued accusing Naftali Bennett of being “so obsessed with destroying [Benjamin] Netanyahu that you’re willing to damage the State of Israel for your worthless cause,” and calling him a “disgusting disappointment” and a “pathetic, bitter little man.”
Then came a blog post last week on the Times of Israel website, where Evans compared members of the proposed “coalition of change” to “rabid dogs” who wish to “crucify” Israel’s longest standing prime minister.
After days of despair and uncertainty came some welcome news: the Israeli government would allow some 300 Ethiopians stranded in Gondar since early February to come to Israel. Their flight to Tel Aviv had received special permission to take off, they were told, even though Ben-Gurion Airport had been shuttered during the latest coronavirus lockdown.
What had yet to be determined was who would cover the costs of bringing these new immigrants over.
After failing to get a firm commitment from its regular donors in the Jewish Diaspora, the Jewish Agency – the quasi-governmental organization responsible for aliyah – put in a call to its evangelical friends.
