Christians have been more supportive of Israel than liberal Jews for some time. They probably study the Bible more too. These Christians are no threat to Jews in this country or in Israel.

Fundamentalist Christians tend to be like strict constructionist dealing with the constitution. If God gave that land to Israel, it belongs to the Jews who are there and not to some interlopers. This is not that different from the recent expression by the Saudi Crown Prince.New U.S. Embassy Signals Israeli- Evangelical Alliance
