10 REASONS TO STAND WITH ISRAEL
Though Israel enjoys growing support from the Evangelical movement today, this support is little understood—primarily because for centuries, the church struggled to understand the “Jewish question” and even displayed and instigated militant antisemitism against God’s chosen people. Many churches taught that God was finished with the Jews.
This mindset has changed dramatically, yet the question remains: Why do we support Israel today? Susan Michael invites you to explore why all believers in Jesus should support, bless, and stand with God’s chosen people, the Jews, in the free booklet 10 Reasons to Stand with Israel.
STANDING WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE AGAINST ANTI-SEMITISM
Anti-Semitism is surging around the world. It is at epidemic levels throughout the Middle East where Jew-hatred is entrenched in everyday life. Europe is at pre-Holocaust levels due to Far-Right parties and an influx of immigrants from Muslim countries. The United States is experiencing a surge on the internet, on college campuses, and in both the Far Right and progressive political movements. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) recorded more incidents of assault, vandalism, and harassment against American Jews in 2019 than in any year since they began tracking such incidents in 1979.
Christians have a moral obligation to withstand hatred and violence directed toward any group, including Jews. But our responsibility goes beyond that. knowing the history—we must practically stand with the Jewish people in their modern battle against this evil. This FREE e-book provides historical context as well as tangible ways to stand with the Jewish people in the fight against Anti-semitism.
