Christian Right's piece of the 'Promised Land'
Israel offers evangelical Christians land near Sea of Galilee to solidify support and boost tourism


After more than 30 years of organizing testimonial dinners for right-wing Israeli politicians, handing out checks to Israeli charities, and forming alliances with conservative Jewish leaders and groups, evangelical Christians may finally be getting a chunk of the "Promised Land."

In a move geared toward solving northern Israel's unemployment crisis, increasing tourism to the country, and solidifying relations with U.S. evangelical Christians, the Israeli government has offered 35 acres of land on the shore of the Kinneret (Sea of Galilee) for development by Christian evangelicals.

The Israeli government is hopeful that Christian evangelicals will build a large conference center, complete with the requisite amenities, to attract hundreds of thousands of evangelical tourists from the U.S. and other countries.
