Hagee donates $6m to Israel, inc. West Bank settlement

You can read the entire AP story here on Pastor Hagee's $6 million donation in Israel.
Of particular interest is:
Hagee said his group was giving $6 million to 16 Israeli causes. Recipients include the Magen David Adom rescue service and a conference center in the West Bank Jewish settlement of Ariel.
Given John McCain's relationship with Hagee, what might this say about the U.S. being an honest broker in Israeli-Palestinian negotiations? Particularly, after the jump, Hagee's belief in an undivided Israeli Jerusalem.
So, are the Palestinians the equivalent of the Taliban?
Hagee thinks so:
"Turning part or all of Jerusalem over to the Palestinians would be tantamount to turning it over to the Taliban," Hagee told an audience filled with Americans who waved Israeli flags and cheered.
Now, let's see. We have the leader of the church Hagee denounced as the Great Whore overtly denouncing the invasion of Iraq and snubbing Condi Rice.
And we have Pastor Hagee interjecting himself this vividly into international affairs.
Discuss.
