Should Christians Support Israel?
Long before Hamas\u2019 horrific Oct. 7 attack on Israel, the Jewish homeland was already a flash point of controversy on college campuses and among an increasingly anti-Israel segment of younger Americans who make up Gen Z.\nJeff Myers, president of Summit Ministries, had taken note of the troubling trend and embarked on a trip to Israel just about 100 days after the Oct. 7 attack to meet with Jews and Arabs, peace activists, and soldiers.\nHe\u2019s now written a new book, \u201cShould Christians Support Israel? Seeking a Biblical Worldview in an Impossible Situation,\u201d which Summit Ministries is making available for free with a donation.\n\u201cJews have a physical presence in the land of their history,\u201d Myers said. \u201cWhether you agree with how it happened or how they are stewarding it, this is the reality. It is also a reality that Israel is under attack from every quarter in a battle between competing worldviews. The history of Palestine, the religion of Islam, and the aims of the apocalyptic rape-and-death cult called Hamas all figure in a larger struggle for truth. This is what we urgently need to understand.\u201d\nMyers spoke with The Daily Signal at the Road to Majority Policy Conference last week about why he\u2019s dedicating his time to helping Christians understand the Israel-Palestine conflict.
