"Frederick Clarkson" is an United States/American journalist and public speaker in the fields of politics and religion. He is the author of Eternal Hostility: The Struggle Between Theocracy and Democracy; editor of Dispatches from the Religious Left: The Future of Faith and Politics in America (2008, ISBN 978-0-9788431-8-2); and co-author of Challenging the Christian Right: The Activist’s Handbook (1992) for which he and his co-author were named among the "Media Heroes of 1992" by the Institute for Alternative Journalism. They were described as "especially brave at taking on powerful institutions and persistent about getting stories out...journalists and activists who persevere in fighting censorship and protecting the First Amendment," and "understanding the Christian Right's recent strategy of stealth politics early on, and or doggedly tracking its activities across the U.S." He has also published articles with Salon.com, Ms. magazine, The Christian Science Monitor, and other publications. As of 2008, he served on the advisory board of the Campaign to Defend the Constitution, an organization dedicated to opposing the Christian right/religious right; and on the editorial boards of The Public Eye and In These Times magazines.

While immigration of large numbers of American evangelicals to Israel might sound appealing to many Israelis -- especially as further Middle Eastern wars seem possible -- Rabbi Boteach's notion of inviting hundreds of thousands of American evangelicals to Israel with the expectation that they would not evangelise is silly.

Evangelisation is what evangelicals are supposed to do. It is a central element of their religious identity that they will certainly be unwilling to erase.
