From news article:

One of America's top Jewish leaders recently noted that the far-right is trying to "'Christianize' all aspects of American life."

How did one of these ultra-conservative leaders respond? By threatening to withdraw support for Israel.

Tom Minnery, one of the top leaders of Focus on the Family, responded with a not-too-veiled threat to pull support for Israel. The Forward reports, "Noting that the evangelical groups Foxman cited are staunch supporters of Israel, Minnery told the Forward, 'If you keep bullying your friends, pretty soon you won't have any.'"
