I sent the following scripture to Hagee Ministries His response is after the scripture.
Hello Pastor Hagee.
I have heard your preaching on Israel. I am not sure I understand.
What is your understanding of the following thoughts and verses regarding Jews.?
And, Thank you in advance for any reply you care to make.

"33": They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
"34": Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
"35": And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
"36": If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
"37": I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
"38": I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
"39": They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
"40": But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
"41": Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
"42": Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
"43": Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
"44": Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Dear Sometimeman
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. On behalf of John Hagee Ministries we thank you for your support and the confidence you have in Pastor Hagee’s teachings.
We received your request for Pastor Hagee to review the report attached to your message regarding the Jewish race and the Judeo Christian faith. You want Pastor Hagee and our staff to review it and give you an opinion.
It is clear that God selected Abraham’s descendants through his grandson Jacob to become the Nation of Israel. (Mt. 24:31)
We accept the traditional definition of the Jewish people:
Houghton Mifflin dictionary.
1. A member of the widely dispersed people originally descended from the ancient Hebrews and sharing an ethnic heritage based on Judaism.
Pastor identifies the Jew as a descendant of Abraham and Jacob, child of promise. The original designation of the Israelitish people was the ‘Hebrews’. (John 4:9; Acts 18:2, 24).
The information you submitted in your letter is totally false. If you have listened to any of Pastor Hagee’s teachings on this subject you would recognize the report to be contrary to what Holy Scripture teaches.
We at John Hagee Ministries pray that the Lord will bless you with wisdom and spiritual understanding.
Sincerely,
Edward Martinez
John Hagee Ministries
So, I guess Jesus should have checked with Hagee First![/size]
