| Summary: | The article analyses the role and influence of religious movements on the foreign policy
of United States (US). In this regard, the study examines how American Conservative Christians
have attempted to exert their influence on US foreign policy towards Israel especially during the
George W. Bush presidency (2001-2009). Among others, we examine the issue of the “special
relationship” between the US and Israel and the discussion explore the historical perspectives
and theoretical debates behind that “special relationship”. The paper argues that, the American
Conservative Christians’ religious beliefs can be considered as a profound factor in shaping
their dynamic political activism in influencing US foreign policy towards Israel. In addition, the
discussion contends that the supports that were extended by Conservative Christian movements
to the State of Israel and Jewish people are a continuity of a long tradition in Conservative
Christians religious traditions. |
