Moon does not walk through the Judean desert preaching in tattered clothes. No! "Father" drives one of his many white Cadillacs to one of his several homes and lets his halo envelop all around him. Rev. Moon also dispenses with the thorns and the pain bit. Life is a pleasure for such a wealthy and happy man; so must it be for his brainwashed flock...

By far the larger one, in Tel Aviv, did not recognize Jerusalem as Israel's official capital and accepted the inconvenience of a 45-mile drive from the coast to the Judean Hills every time a diplomat wished to do business with Israel's Prime Minister or other key officials. By contrast, a smaller group of foreign ambassadors, consisting of twelve Latin Americans and a Dutchman, took the view that West Jerusalem was legitimately Israel's capital and, with...
