The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned about a joint effort in the United States and beyond to “break down” the bond between Christians and Jews.
At an event last month in Jerusalem attended by pastor Paula White-Kain, spiritual adviser to President Donald Trump and head of the White House Office of Faith and Anti-Semitism, Netanyahu, the partnership that the Jewish-Christian values protects the Christians of the Middle of the Middle.
“As part of this campaign,” he continued, Israel is now portrayed as a threat to Christians. “
Netanyahu said that Israel is home to a thriving Christian community – unique in a region where Christians often have to deal with persecution. He pointed to Nazareth as a place where Christian life is visible and open, in contrast to Bethlehem, where the Christian population fell sharply – from 80% to less than 20% – after Israel had withdrawn, and the Palestinian authority took control, leading to reduced protections for the community.

Pastor John Hagee, the influential founder and chairman of Christians United for Israel (CUFI), said that Frank Online Agitators and politicians are motivated by two different impulses in their attacks on Israel.
“For true Jews haters, Christian Zionism is correctly seen as the stronghold against the rise of American anti -Semitism. As the Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs of Israel [Ron Dermer] has pointed out that Christian Zionism is the backbone of American support for Israel.
“Those who hate and see Israel to destroy that the Jewish-Christian alliance prevents them from achieving their terrible goals; it is logical then that they would try to drive a wedge between Jews and Christians. Our relationship is a direct and unambiguous refutation of their malignant ideology and goals,” he said.
Hagee also warned that anti-Israeli stories are strengthened online and via the regular media “to the exclusive benefit of Palestinian terrorists”.
Disputed fire through the old church in the Holy Land leads to diplomatic, religious fall -out
During his speech, Netanyahu focused on some in the media. “So, Israel, the guardian of Christianity in the middle, East, is presented on American television by purchased influencers. It is presented as the enemy of Christianity. What foolishness, what lies. What a traveliness of truth,” he said.
“We have to fight for our common values, we have to stand up for the truth. And by standing up for the truth, you stand up with Israel, and you stand with the Jewish people against this horror of lies,” he concluded.
The comments from Netanyahu came across the background of recent accusations that extremist settlers had focused on a historic church on the West Bank and the IDF had deliberately focused a church in Gaza.

In mid -July, the Council of Patriarchs and heads of churches of Jerusalem claimed that “radical Israelis” had deliberately put a fire near the church of Saint George in Taybeh. The police of Israel, however, later confirmed that the old church ruins were undamaged and that the fire, of unknown origin, was limited to a nearby open area.

An investigation showed that the church was accidentally struck during operational activities in Gaza City.

“The bottom line on this story is that there is a religious system that is illegal the existence of Israel. They do not say this about another country in the world, how bloody its origin is killed Jews. Anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism,” he said.
“My message to Biblical Christians is to teach a Biblical worldview that Israel is the Bibleland. The church in Germany was Evangelical Protestant. They were in line with the Nazi party, had Swastikas on her altars and believed that God sent the Chancellor.
“This happened because they rejected a biblical worldview and bought in what is called ‘replacement theology’. That is why I developed an important curriculum to teach the church and its leaders,” Evans noted.
“It dates from Trump and Netanyahu, it will be there after those leaders have disappeared,” he said.

“We have to pass on the baton to a new generation, and this is where the challenge comes, because many of the young Christians do not buy in the same reasons as their parents to support Israel, which was based on certain prophetic scenarios and prophecy cards about the role of Israel,” he continued.
“We see it as God who is faithful to his covenant promises to the Patriarch Abraham 4,000 years ago. If God is faithful to what he promised Jewish people millennia ago, he will be faithful to what he promised us among the new covenant,” he said.
Parsons noted that bringing young Christians to experience Israel firsthand helps to cultivate that connection.

“Many of the young evangelical supporters of Israel are not in some of these elite universities where they are poisoned against Israel, and so we have hope,” he said.
“If you see the astonishing things that Israel has done – the pager operation [against Hezbollah]How they defeated Iran in 12 days – if you are a young person, you must be impressed by the creativity and ingenuity of Israel, “he continued.” In the end, as soon as we have a resolution of the Gaza situation, there will be a whole new generation of Christians who are curious enough to come and see it. “
