Jerry FalwellWithout ignoring theological and political disagreements, pro-Israel American Jews should remember Jerry Falwell for his strong support for Israel.
Falwell, as much as any other American, can be credited for the U.S. support for Israel that we now take for granted. Tens of millions of evangelical Christians are pro-Israel. It wasn't always that way, and it's a major part of why America largely supported Israel's war on terror, in sharp contrast to Europe.
