Standing with Israel as a Christian is standing against radical Islam.
This is not complicated. Israel is the only free nation in the Middle East. The only place in the region where Christians, Jews, and Muslims live under the same law and vote in the same elections. The only place where a church can be built without permission from an imam.
Radical Islam does not hide its goals. First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people. That is not my slogan. It is theirs. When Israel is attacked, it is not just a country under fire. It is the frontline of everything we call Western civilization: freedom of belief, rule of law, the dignity of the individual.
My faith commands me to stand with the persecuted, not with the persecutors. Israel is surrounded by regimes and movements that execute apostates, hang gays, and stone women. I know which side of that line I stand on.
And standing with Israel means standing with the Iranian people too. Millions of Iranians live under a regime they never chose. They are the first victims of the same ideology that wants Israel destroyed. When Iranians shout "Woman, Life, Freedom", they are fighting the same fight. Their enemy is not Israel. Their enemy sits in Tehran.
I sense that many in the West do not understand how serious this is. The darkness is creeping closer to us too. So I ask you: Create the necessary counterpressure. Because otherwise history will repeat itself... as history always has.
For 1400 years, Islam has never been able to coexist with Western values. That has not changed. Common sense, however, has. History has been forgotten, and in misguided kindness we are undermining the very foundation that people before us fought, bled, and died for.
Standing with Israel is not politics for me. It is conviction. Because the same ideology that wants Israel erased wants my faith, my freedom, and my civilization erased next.
Am Yisrael Chai.🪽
