Rick Perry Stands With Israel – Rick Perry went to New York, stood with Jewish leaders, and declared his support for Israel.Then he was asked: \"To what extent do you view America\'s continued protection of Israel as a theological priority? \" He answered: Well, obviously, Israel is our oldest and most stable democratic ally in that region. That is what this is about. I also as a Christian have a clear directive to support Israel. So from my perspective, it\'s pretty easy. Both as an American and as a Christian, I am going to stand with Israel. Whoa. That\'s something George W. Bush never did. Bush never said he had a Christian duty to stand with Israel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lIbHjKnuEY&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL
