Hey, did you know the new Elders have a website? And that on that website, you can find some really nifty information. For instance, one of their backers is the Bridgeway Foundation. Check out the Bridgeway Foundation’s requirement for their partners:
Update: Wrong Bridgeway Foundation. This seems to be the one that’s funding the so-called Elders. The blockquoted text below is incorrect
Partners of the Bridgeway Foundation are characterized by a commitment to one of the following sectors in the fulfilment of their mission:
- Community-based organizations in our local Cambridge , Ontario region
- Evangelical Christian organizations with national influence that specialize in the areas of education and society in Canada
- Evangelical Christian organizations with a base in Canada who are impacting the developing world (Asia, Africa and Latin America ) through sustainable development and mission work. Priority is given to projects in countries in which Bridgeway has a history of involvement.
But… but I thought the Elders are “nonpartisan”? Isn’t that interesting… they’re funded by a Christian Evangelical organization. A Canadian one, too. Not American. Hmmmm.
Over on the Elders site, check out their privacy policy:

Cool! They’re going to use our personal information to put us on mailing lists and sell! Now that’s something we’ve never seen before. These Elders are really innovative and fresh!
Wow. I can’t wait to see what kind of work these “Elders” are going to do. I sure hope they manage to stay awake during meetings, though. I know it gets kinda tough at their age.
So, in addition to being a clique of established anti-Semites and terrorist-apologists, they also seek to forcibly convert everybody to Christianity, and they sell their membership list to spammers
Gee, there’s so much to hate here I hardly know where to begin.
I wonder what their Muslim-terrorist friends think of their ties to evangelical Christianity. Not that it matters, if the terrorists win against Israel and the US, these “elders” will be next on the firing line, no matter what platitudes they spew.
These guys are so clueless that they will probably be locked up in a nursing home, being fed gruel and their senile maunderings “interpreted” by authorized speakers only.
Meryl … Sorry to disappoint you, but Bridgeway Foundation in Canada was not the funder of the Elders as is mentioned on their website. There must be another Bridgeway Foundation somewhere.

I don’t know why you think I’d be disappointed, Mark. I don’t recall saying anything negative about the foundation, except in the context of funding a group that includes people I think are Israel haters, if not outright Jew-haters. I’m sorry I got the wrong foundation. The error has been corrected in the post.
Thanks for the correction, quickly done. I appreciate it.
