Christians Show Support for Israel on Capitol Hill
Thousands of Christians met in Washington, D.C., to do what some say the Obama administration has been reluctant to do: stand unwaveringly with Israel.
Roughly 4,500 people gathered in late July for the fifth annual Christians United for Israel (CUFI) Washington Summit, where they lobbied lawmakers to maintain the nation’s historic support for Israel and declared their solidarity with the Jewish state.
“Israel’s enemies are our enemies; Israel’s fight is our fight,” CUFI founder John Hagee (pictured) told the crowd at the Night to Honor Israel event. “If a line has to be drawn, then let it be drawn around both of us: Christians and Jews, Americans and Israelis.”
