Christians join Jews to express support for Israel

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Worthy News)– Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Pastor John Hagee and radio personality Glenn Beck all spoke to Israel’s Christian supporters during the sixth annual “Christians United for Israel” summit at the Convention Center in Washington, D.C..

“We need to defend the truth that Israel is the only reliable ally the U.S. has in the Middle East,” said Netanyahu via satellite. “When you support Israel, you don’t have to choose between your interests and your values; you get both … Our enemies think that we are you, and that you are us: and you know something? They are absolutely right!”

Both Hagee, founder and chairman of CUFI, and Beck addressed a crowd of more than 5,000 for the close of the summit.

“We gathered here with one message, said Hagee. “Israel today, Israel tomorrow, and Israel forever.”

Hagee also condemned President Obama’s suggestion that Israel revert to the 1967 borders to broker peace with its Arab neighbors.
