God's foreign policy

From the New York Times:

He[Rev. John Hagee] called the conflict “a battle between good and evil” and said support for Israel was “God’s foreign policy.”

The next day he took the same message to the White House.

Many conservative Christians say they believe that the president’s support for Israel fulfills a biblical injunction to protect the Jewish state, which some of them think will play a pivotal role in the second coming. Many on the left, in turn, fear that such theology may influence decisions the administration makes toward Israel and the Middle East.

A biblical injunction, you say? Man, I guess those early Christians were reading it all wrong then, what with the burning and the massacres and all. They must feel pretty stupid right now.
