<youtube size="tiny" align="right" caption="The Christians United for Israel Tour">mjMRgT5o-Ig</youtube> Established in 2006 with the "active assistance" of the Christian evangelical fundamentalist, Jerry Falwell,[1], Christians United for Israel (CUFI) is an US-based Christian-Zionist lobbying organization founded by John Hagee. The CUFI lobbies US congress to support Israel for biblical reasons. CUFI has focused the majority of its lobbying efforts on garnering support for Israeli settlement expansion on Palestinian territory and military action on Iran.[2] Hagee has stated that he would like to see CUFI become "the Christian version of AIPAC."[3]
