“The vast majority of the Hispanic evangelical community have a strong commitment to both Israel and the Jewish people around the world," said Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference.
Support for Israel among Hispanic evangelicals in the United States has reached unprecedented heights, the president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference said on Monday.
The remarks come just months after US President Donald Trump achieved a record share of Latino votes in the US elections, and offered a bastion of faith-based support in the predominantly Roman Catholic Latino community.
“The vast majority of the Hispanic evangelical community have a strong commitment to both Israel and the Jewish people around the world, and to build a multi-generational firewall against antisemitism,” Samuel Rodriguez told JNS. “Our commitment to Israel is without compromise and is stronger than ever before.”
