This publication was made possible through funding by the Charles H. Revson Foundation. The statements made and the views expressed are solely the responsibility of the authors. © 2009, The Jerusalem Institute for Israel Studies The Hay Elyachar House 20 Radak St. 92186 Jerusalem http://www.jiis.org.il E-mail: [email protected] Summary Israel’s countryside and agricultural land has undergone many changes in the past twenty years. The countryside in central Israel has been exposed to extremely heavy land development pressures. These pressures have had far-reaching consequences which are expressed in changes in employment patterns and the reallocation of agricultural land for nonagricultural enterprises. In response to these trends, changes have occurred in the national and district planning authorities aimed at the reinforcement and preservation of agricultural land and open spaces with an emphasis on environmental issues, the countryside’s landscape and tourism (ILA National Outline Plan no. 31, 35; District Outline Plan no. 3/21). For the purpose of efficiently managing land resources in Israel’s countryside and for the purpose of implementing a policy preserving the countryside’s landscape and agricultural uses — it is important to clarify the opinions of the countryside’s residents regarding the region’s future and the conditions required for the preservation of agricultural pursuits.

Its theme was dutifully encapsulated for the 600 pastors in attendance in Fullerton Theological Seminary President Mark Labberton’s assertion that “Christians who call themselves Zionists are the enemies of God.” Fullerton has two campuses in California, three in Washington State and one each in Texas and Arizona. Any further doubt about where Christ at the Checkpoint 2016 was heading should have been put to rest by the scene at the conference’s inaugural portrayed by Christian Zionist Brian Schrauger, a free-lance journalist living in Bethlehem-adjoining Bet Jalla, who has covered these events for the Jerusalem Post and New York-based Jewish Press, among others.
