Fervent evangelical Christian support for Israel has not gone unnoticed or unappreciated by key members of the Israeli Knesset. That was the message delivered last week as two Israeli parliamentary groups—the Christian Allies Caucus and the Delegitimization Caucus—hosted a special event in Israel.
The gathering at the Knesset centered around thanking the Christian community in general and Christian-Israelis in particular as well as discussing strategies for defeating the global, anti-Israel BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement.
The BDS movement has been spreading rapidly, especially on college campuses. Just this week, an article in the Jerusalem Post titled, “The Rise of German Academic BDS,” pointed to a course at a prestigious German university that “claims Israel’s military harvests organs from Palestinians, and the Jewish state is responsible for a genocide.”
Sadly, we’re seeing anti-Semitism and ugly anti-Israel deception creeping out of the shadows and into the mainstream of many societies. This is why savvy members inside Israel’s government understand and appreciate the importance of Christian support.
This growing appreciation was reflected in last week’s meeting between Knesset members and Israel supporters as they came together to condemn the language of the BDS movement. For example, Knesset member Yehudah Glick told the assembled group, “ We seem to take things for granted. Your friendship is not something to take for granted. We should never take it for granted.”
