WASHINGTON, Nov. 13 — As Israeli bombs fell on Lebanon for a second week last July, the Rev. John Hagee of San Antonio arrived in Washington with 3,500 evangelicals for the first annual conference of his newly founded organization, Christians United For Israel.
...He called the conflict “a battle between good and evil” and said support for Israel was “God’s foreign policy.”
...Many conservative Christians say they believe that the president’s support for Israel fulfills a biblical injunction to protect the Jewish state, which some of them think will play a pivotal role in the second coming.
-- David D. Kirkpatrick for The NY Times
It is almost enough for me to rethink my partiality for Israel. Of course, this evangelical hard-on for Israel is not exactly news, but it is something to see it so spelled out like that this morning. I need coffee, but I guess a coke and cinnamon rolls will do, bleh.
