Perry says that a clear directive from God compells the U.S. to support Israel.
Speaking of strategic debate, Rick Perry offers his case for the U.S. alliance with Israel:
Perry, an evangelical Christian who leads the opinion polls among Republican presidential hopefuls, told several dozen New York Jewish leaders that Obama's Middle East policy was "naive, arrogant, misguided and dangerous."Important to note that the Reuters piece doesn't mention whether Perry offered further arguments on behalf of the alliance, so this may not actually be the whole of his case."As a Christian, I have a clear directive to support Israel. Both as an American and as a Christian, I am going to stand with Israel," Perry said.
