(Washington, D.C)—According to a Joshua Fund survey, conducted by McLaughlin and Associates, more than 80 percent of American Christians believe they have a "moral and Biblical obligation" to "love and support" the State of Israel and pray for the peace of Jerusalem, with strong pro-Israeli convictions cutting across all key Christian denominations in the U.S. (Photo: Ariel Jerozolimski file)

According to the report in the Jerusalem Post, nearly half (49%) of American Christians surveyed were interested in visiting Israel, and 45% said they would be more likely to support a US presidential candidate who would protect America from Islamic terrorism, protect Israel from a nuclear attack from Iran, oppose the division of Jerusalem and refuse to pressure Israel to make concessions on issues of national security, compared to 29% who said such positions had no effect on their vote and 9% who would be less likely to support such a candidate.

Said Joel C. Rosenberg, Joshua Fund's founder and president, "Our support for Israel is unwavering and unconditional."
