Poll: U.S. Christians Support Israel
[Jerusalem Post] Etgar Lefkovits - 84% of Protestants (including 89% of evangelicals), as well as 76% of Catholics, said they had a "moral and biblical obligation to love and support Israel and pray for the peace of Jerusalem," according to a survey released Thursday. While evangelical Christians are the strongest supporters of the Jewish state, strong pro-Israel convictions cut across all key Christian denominations, according to the poll carried out on behalf of the Washington-based Joshua Fund. Half of the American Christians surveyed opposed Israel dividing Jerusalem with the Palestinians in a peace agreement, 33% were unsure and 17% thought it should be divided. 49% of American Christians said they were interested in visiting Israel.
