==History==
In May 2003 ''Democracy Now'' reported that representatives from the [[Christian Coalition]], the [[Zionist Organization of America]], and [[Israel]]'s Ministry of Tourism, were apparently now working to derail [[George Walker Bush|Bush]]'s "road map for peace." [[Democracy Now ]] reports Israeli Tourism Minister Benny Elon is lobbying the U.S. Congress and Christian fundamentalists -- including Christian Coalition President Roberta Combs and former presidential candidate [[Gary Bauer ]] and [[Pat Robertson ]] -- against the U.S. peace plan.[http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=03/05/09/1420254&mode=thread&tid=45]
The Israeli newspaper ''Ha'aretz'' reports Elon is presenting a different plan that will call for the establishment of a [[Palestinian ]] state in [[Jordan]]. Ha'aretz reports that Elon said: "What we are now seeing across the Muslim world is not a powerful surge of faith but the dying embers of [[Islam]]. ... Within a few years a Christian crusade against Islam will be launched, which will be the major event of this millennium."

In March 2005 ''PR Week'' reported that The [[Lebanese American Council for Democracy]], the "group that played a key role in the passage of the Syrian Accountability Act," retained 5W Public Relations for "strategic counsel and media relations." The group's goal is "to gain support from U.S. political leaders and [[United Nations ]] officials to pressure [[Syria ]] to withdraw its troops." The group is reportedly "closely aligned with Michel Aoun, the former Prime Minister who was ousted by the Syrians" in 1990. The 5W firm is "preparing daily briefing sheets for the media to respond to current events." The Syrian Accountability Act, passed in 2003, "imposed sanctions on Syria for occupying [[Lebanon]]."
