Dr. John C. Hagee is the founder and Senior Pastor of Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas, a non-denominational evangelical church with more than 18,000 active members. He is a friend of Israel and the Jewish people. Earlier this week he gave a speech at the national AIPAC meeting in Washington that is awesome in its expression of support of Israel. His speech had me crying; the heart-on-sleeve commentary of Pamela Geller picked up on the audio as she recorded the address had me laughing at the same time. Below is part 1 of Dr. Hagee's speech.

Go to Jim's post here at Menorah Blog for parts 2 and 3 of Dr. Hagee's speech, which closes with the characteristically inspiring words of Winston Churchill. Don't miss part 3.

UPDATE: One reader notes an anti-Catholic tilt to Dr. Hagee's speech that I missed. My appreciation of the speech obviously relates to its expression of support for the state and people of Israel.
