Israel's key ally: U.S. evangelicals

WASHINGTON: As Israeli bombs fell over Lebanon for a second week in July, the Reverend John Hagee of San Antonio arrived in Washington with 3,500 evangelicals for the first conference of his newly founded organization, Christians United for Israel.

Bush and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of Israel and dispatched the crowd with a message for their congressmen.
