Washington
- 5,000 participants from across the United States descended on Capitol Hill on
July, 22th in order to lobby Washington lawmakers on behalf of Israel.
'Christians United for Israel (CUFI)', organizers of the
event, showed their strength by lobbying over 85 percent U.S. Congress
offices. CUFI leader Pastor John Hagee has offered financial backing
(10 million dollars) to Israeli settler organizations. Israel can always count on is backing from U.S.
Evangelicals. Harry Truman , who recognized Israel 11 minutes after its
creation, was a member of the evangelical group American Christians for
Israel.
