Christian group to advocate more support for Israel

More than 3,000 pro-Israel evangelical Christians will be in town next week for a "Washington/Israel summit" to push the Bush administration toward stronger support for the Jewish state.

Starting with a banquet July 18 at the Hilton Washington and visits to Capitol Hill the next morning, the inaugural gathering of Christians United for Israel (CUFI) will showcase a deeper cooperation between evangelical Christians and Jews in the face of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's suggestion in October, often reiterated since, that Israel "be wiped off the map."

Organizers say Israeli Ambassador Daniel Ayalon, retired Israeli defense chief Lt. Gen. Moshe Yaalon and Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman -- all of whom are Jewish -- will be at the dinner. Several members of Congress also are scheduled to attend, including Republican Sens. Sam Brownback of Kansas and Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, both Catholics. Leading evangelicals that have confirmed their invitations include the Rev. Jerry Falwell and Gary Bauer.

Their host will be Texas evangelist the Rev. John C. Hagee, pastor of the 18,000-member Cornerstone Church in San Antonio and author of "Jerusalem Countdown," a 2006 book about a nuclear-armed Iran.

"There's a new Hitler in the Middle East," Mr. Hagee said in an interview. "He's talking about killing Jews. He will have the ability to do so with nuclear weapons.

Christians and Jews have a major mutual interest in ensuring the Jihadists are crushed.

Interesting timing, given what's going on right now.

Next weeks meeting may be to late.

This is not really news, is it?

[Aussie Dasher]

It will be to some. I can't believe the number of Jews who think Christians hate them...

[Bittersweetmd]

Yes it is news. Just why shouldn't such an event be classified as news anyways? Seems like you made a rather strange statement to me. Unless I am misunderstanding you?

Pro Israel bttt

[prairiebreeze]

Long overdue in view of the pro-pali/anti-Israeli attitudes and shenanigans of many mainstream churches anymore. PCUSA, ECLA, United Methodist, UCC, to name a few.

I can only be with them in spirit- but there are a lot of us Christians in "flyover country," so disdained & dismissed by the Media Hive, who support Israel.

The best preacher that I ever knew ALWAYS told us that America will only be strong as long as it supports Israel. Our future is biblically tied to Israel's future.
