Excerpts from the Jewish Weekly 3/22/85:

The Rev. 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."
