The Dark Spiritual Contagion of Anti-Israel, Anti-Jewish Enmity Part 2

Send us Fan Mail

GUEST: Chris Katulka, host, Friends of Israel Today Radio

Last week in part 1, we discussed the widening division among conservatives and Christians over Israel and the Jewish people. A lot has changed since Oct 7, 2023 when the Islamic group Hamas in Gaza crossed the border into Israel, executing a barbaric attack, killing about 1200 Israelis (including dozens of Americans) and kidnapping and torturing hundreds more.

One might think Israel’s military response in Gaza to dismantle Hamas would be widely supported but the opposite occurred. Demonstrations all over the world and alarmingly on American college campuses against Israel and in favor of Hamas and Palestine took place.

While the left is almost entirely anti-Israel, many prominent influencers on the right like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, Marjorie Taylor Green, Megyn Kelly and many, many more have come out loudly against Israel. What is more troubling is the turning against Israel from professing biblical Christians, those who believe things like justification by grace through faith in Christ and other key doctrines. You’ll see lots of these Christians on social media, such as pastor Joel Webbon posting things like this:

“Israel is not America’s Greatest Ally. Israel is the world’s Greatest Enemy.”

This week in part 2, Chris Katulka, Vice President of North American Ministries for Friends of Israel, joins us to discuss how the Middle East may be reshaped through the war in Iran and what he understands the Bible to teach about the future for Israel, the Jewish people, and the return of Christ.
