Christian Coalition embraces Jewish state

Hours after a Palestinian suicide bomber killed 11 Israelis on Thursday by detonating an explosive on a Jerusalem municipal bus, Christian Coalition President Roberta Combs led the group in taking a bus ride along the identical route.
     "We cannot let the terrorists win. We hope to take a stand, because once they inject fear into your heart, then they win," Mrs. Combs told reporters.
     "I'm going back home, and I'm going to encourage people to come to Israel because this is the Holy Land. I feel very saddened that the economy here is down and tourism is down because of fear that the media has injected into people's hearts. They're fearful to come because they really don't know what's going on here."
