The Israel Collective

As most of you know, some of the largest mainline Protestant denominations have turned on Israel.  When the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A) or the United Methodist Church take action relating to the Middle East, it’s to debate divesting their funds from Israel; and it is from Israel — not Iran — that they divest.  This betrayal did not happen...

Europe is Abandoning Israel

Our goal in Christians United for Israel is to ensure that the United States continues to support our ally, Israel.  We are not a European organization, and we have never held much hope that Europe would stand up for Israel as strongly as America does.

But recent events have disappointed our already low expectations. Simply put, Europe is rapidly...

Israel’s Nuclear Program

While most Americans were focused on their upcoming Thanksgiving celebrations, the world took yet another step down the plank towards a dark abyss. As the November 24th deadline for a nuclear deal with Iran approached, the Obama Administration and its negotiating partners agreed to extend the talks yet again, this time for another seven months....

Pray for The Peace in Israel

Early this morning, four rabbis were murdered in Jerusalem as they gathered for morning prayers. The attackers left behind bibles and prayer shawls soaked in Jewish blood. The victims left behind 24 fatherless children. Our prayers are with the victims' families.

This was a premeditated act of terrorism. The attackers -- two cousins from East...

Talking Points on Iran and Isis

The bloodthirsty terrorists of ISIS have dominated our headlines in recent months. It is good that this evil army is getting attention. And it is good that the world is finally mobilizing to stop their murder spree.

But we must remember that ISIS is nothing new. While they may kill their opponents more graphically, they are simply the latest in a...

Talking Points On The Hamas-Fatah Unity Government

Earlier this week, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas agreed to form a national unity government with Hamas. In so doing, Abbas crossed a bright red line that should disgust all who seek peace. Hamas is a terrorist organization that is recognized as such by both the United States and the European Union. To this day, Hamas refuses to...

CUFI Talking Points on the Iran Deal

The deal that the Obama Administration reached with Iran in Geneva last month is looking worse with each passing day. This deal revives the Iranian economy by easing economic sanctions on Iran at the very point when these sanctions were beginning to work. In exchange for this very real economic relief, we got a handful of meaningless Iranian...

The U.S., U.K., and Dutch governments are helping to fund a conference called “Christ at the Checkpoint,” which attempts to sway Evangelical Christian opinion against Israel and whose themes have anti-Semitic undertones, according to a new report issued by the Jerusalem-based watchdog group NGO Monitor.

UN report outlines how Hamas used kids as human shields

The headlines in most places were entirely predictable: “UN Says Israel Killed 44 Palestinians in Schools During Gaza War.” That was indeed one finding of a UN report published Monday — but only part of the story.

The report also confirmed something Israel’s been saying all along: Hamas stored mortars and other weapons in at least three UN...
