March 12, 2014 Were not alone out there. We in Christians United for Israel are not the only Christians who are weighing in on the Arab-Israeli conflict. Increasingly, anti-Israel Christians are raising their voices and flexing their muscles. This week, for example, the third Christ at the Checkpoint conference is being held at the Bethlehem Bible College in Bethlehem. Christians from around the world have gathered at Jesus birthplace for five days of anti-Israel lectures, films and tours. Most of the speakers are blaming the Arab-Israeli conflict on Israel and Israel alone. They condemn Israels occupation without ever mentioning Israels repeated sacrifices for peace. As missiles rain down on southern Israel, they bemoan the horrors of Israeli checkpoints without ever once mentioning the Palestinian terror that necessitates them. And many are reviving replacement theology -- that idea that God has rejected the Jewish people and broken His covenants with them. The fact that so many Christians are so actively working to undermine Israel should be a wake up call to all of us. We need to redouble our efforts! The enemies of Israel are no longer overseas or even outside of our church walls. They are right here at home, in our communities and even in our churches. We who support Israel need not fear. We have the truth on our side. But if we dont teach the truth and speak the truth, we can be drowned out by the lies. Now is not a time for despair. Now is a time for action.
