[Jerusalem Online] Pastor John Hagee - Pastor John Hagee, who founded Christians United for Israel, told the American Israel Public Affairs Committee's annual policy forum in Washington on Sunday: Israel, you are not alone. The sleeping giant of Christian Zionism has awakened. There are millions of evangelical Christians across America who consider the Jewish people the apple of God's eye; there are 50 million Christians standing up and applauding the State of Israel. Iran poses a threat to the State of Israel that promises nothing less than a nuclear Holocaust. We must stop Iran's nuclear threat and stop it now and stand boldly with Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East. Iran's president has not limited his maniacal threats to Israel. He has also asked his fellow Iranians to imagine a world without America. This is a clear threat to destroy the United States of America. Why do Christians support Israel? Because Christians deeply believe we owe a debt of gratitude to the Jewish people. If you took away the Jewish contribution from Christianity, there would be no Christianity. Judaism does not need Christianity to explain its existence, but Christianity cannot explain its existence without Judaism. America and Israel are at war with a common enemy. It is a war of good vs. evil. It is a war of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness vs. the culture of death.
