Jerry Falwell, leader of the Moral Majority has apologized for calling for the "Christianization" of America. Falwell said "We were wrong, and we are sorry" to a group of more than 1200 Rabbis at a convention in Miami Beach. Falwell praised Israel and spoke of his "love for Israel and the Jewish People." He promised to mobilize conservative Christians on behalf of the Jewish State to fight anti-Semitism. Describing Israel as "America's only true friend" in the Middle East, Falwell declared: "We ( America ) owe more to Israel than Israel owes to us in dollars and cents. Every dollar we spend is the best defense dollar we spend anywhere in the world."
