TRENDING:

Trump Is The Most Pro-Israel President In American History—But The World Is Not Applauding

Last Saturday, President Trump posted to Truth Social: “Whether people like Israel or not, they have proven to be a GREAT Ally of the United States of America. They are Courageous, Bold, Loyal, and Smart, and, unlike others that have shown their true colors in a moment of conflict and stress, Israel fights hard and knows how to WIN!”

No matter what you may think of him, one thing is certain: President Trump has been the most pro-Israel president in American history. For that, I am extremely grateful, especially in a world that blames Israel for everything.

Here is a brief list of Trump’s pro-Israel achievements in his first and second terms in office:

  • Recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital
  • Moved the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem
  • Recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights
  • Brokered the Abraham Accords
  • Withdrew from the disastrous Iran nuclear (JCPOA)
  • Shifted the American stance on Israeli settlements
  • Cut funding to Palestinian-related terror programs
  • Closed the PLO office in Washington
  • Strengthened military and strategic ties with Israel
  • Was the first sitting president to visit the Western Wall
  • Backed Israel throughout the Gaza war
  • Reversed some of the Biden-era restrictions on Israel
  • Cracked down on college campus anti-Israel movements
  • Took on the Iranian regime with Israel to prevent them from creating a nuclear bomb to be used not only on Israel but also on the West.

Yet, much of the world is not applauding this impressive list of accomplishments; they despise him for it, and they blame Israel for America’s involvement in this current war with Iran.

Throughout all of this, God is taking note, and you can be sure that blessings and curses will follow how the world treats Israel and the Jewish people (Matthew 25:31-46). Israel is not perfect—no nation is—but God still commands us to comfort His chosen people (Isaiah 40:1). God also promises to judge all those who come against them.

While all eyes are on the Middle East, wondering if this war with Iran will come to some sort of peace agreement or resume, we need to remember that allowing the Iranian regime—that cries “death to Israel” and “death to America—to continue unchecked without any intervention is naive, to say the least. It’s living in a fantasy world, and it’s national suicide.

When your enemy has spent almost 50 years calling for your death and destruction while spending billions trying to achieve that, you had better listen to them. The United States and Israel are doing the world a favor by confronting this demonic regime while there is still time.

I’m calling on believers around the world to lift this up in prayer. If we don’t, who will? In Psalm 122:6-7, we read, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces.” There is a promise of blessing for those who stand with Israel and intercede for them.

Thank you, President Trump, for standing with Israel. We should call on all leaders around the world to do the same.


‘They Want Us To Shut Our Mouths’: Large Banks Debanked, Discriminated Against Customers For Christian Views

Nine of the nation’s largest banks relied on subjective decision-making and the opinions of advocacy organizations to terminate customer accounts or deny service to potential customers—often because of Biblical beliefs on key moral issues—between 2020 and September 2025. The findings, released Wednesday, were part of a report from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury that charters, regulates, and supervises banks and federal savings associations.

No More Excuses Or Theological Gymnastics: Christians Are Called To Love The Jewish People

I love all my brothers and sisters in Christ, but I’m wounded when I hear fellow believers dismiss or attack Israel and the Jewish people. The laundry list of excuses for this behavior includes many acrobatic contortions of Scripture that distance Christians from Jewish people. Antisemitic tropes also play a part in these condemnations. So does misinformation about the Jewish nation, as many Christians understand little of the State of Israel’s history of fighting for its life in defensive wars. They look at the nation’s activity in Gaza and Iran as an unforgivable sin because of the negative optics of military conflict, and they refuse to honor Scripture’s call to bless His Chosen People—even those who have never set foot in Israeli land.

In A Culture Of Trendy Lies, It Is Time To Speak Up More Clearly In Support Of Israel And The Jewish People

We must remember our friends and our allies around the world—particularly Israel and the Jewish people, the one distinct ethnic group of people about which God tells us in His Word to bless and to support. In Genesis 12:3, what did God say to Abraham? “I will bless those who bless you.” Yet many people these days, including a lot of Christians, think that it is trendy, intellectual-sounding, or will garner clicks to oppose things all related to the Jews. Anti-Semitism is on the rise around the world. 2025 was designated by the Anti-Defamation League as the deadliest year of anti-Semitism. Three months after October 7th in 2023, anti-Semitism had risen 360%.
