Rick Perry Makes the Case for Israel

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."

"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.

'
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.
