It’s time to talk about the ‘Christ is King’ cohort of Christian antisemitism… not all Christians these days are antisemitic, some prominent examples who are not, in America, include Speaker Johnson, Sen. Ted Cruz, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Dinesh D’Souza. The Coptic Christians in Egypt are fairly pro-Israel. And as antisemitic as the Orthodox Church was in the past and remains, their promise to Jews in 1948 in Judea & Samaria that deeds to Judean land would be preserved during the illegal Jordanian occupation, generally held.
So, who am I talking about? These are the (mostly) born-again Christians on the right who believe Jews need to be ‘saved’ and who do not keep that thought to themselves. These are the same Christians who are now railing against AIPAC. As mentioned above, the now late Charlie Kirk recently had begun to turn, hence the antisemitic conspiracy theories of Israel being behind the murder, and there was a video of him going against AIPAC – one of several videos- but this one stood out because he and the Catholics in the video were gleeful that a Jew was in the process of ‘converting’ — Jews are not a religion, but a race with a faith so in actuality, while most Jews practice the Judean faith, one remains a genetic Jew if practicing a religion or another faith- and was also against AIPAC (as mentioned previously I too hate AIPAC but for far different reasons).
Candace Owens used to be pro-Israel, so much so that she took a Zionist Jew’s spot at the embassy opening in Jerusalem during President Trump’s first term. Then, she converted to Catholicism, specifically that militant version to which her husband belongs.
Those Christians, and I have seen this both in person and online (one of the reasons I do not support CUFI), will not hesitate to admonish Israel for a church being firebombed in Judea & Samaria, when it was being used as a weapons storage site for terrorists, or attacking the only church in Gaza (but not caring why there is only one church in Gaza) due to the same reasons. Ambassador Huckabee is that type of Christian; in the middle of the most consequential war since 1967, he as a newly appointed Ambassador decided it was optimal to deem Israel ‘anti-Christian’ because Israel denied visas to Christian missionary groups.
These Christians I have noticed are not pro-Israel because Israel is the homeland of the Judean people, but due to prophesy and in the battle between good and evil, they trust Israel more with Christian sites, while recently going off the handle on Israel having an ‘outsize influence’ on American politics, completely ignoring Qatar’s buyout of the West, and daring to complain that Israel’s war is ‘going on too long’ as if it were their people who were murdered not just during the recent Jewish genocide but have for over 100 years by the Arab occupiers.
These same Christians idolize the Crusaders, Crusaders who did more damage to Jews (slaughtered Jews with impunity not just in Europe but in even greater numbers in Israel) forced many to ‘convert’ — the majority of Christians in Israel aside from Arameans and Armenians are those ‘converted’ Jews- in Israel than any Muslim occupier during the 1,812 years Israel was under occupations.
Those types of Christians are becoming a far stronger force in America. Be aware before donating to those groups as many are comfortable going against Israel while being backed by Jewish donations.
I remain a proud MAGA conservative, so this is not me jumping ship, as the left is far more dangerous to America and to Jews. This is to explain reality and the shift I am seeing, to not be naive.

A bit about me and my Zionism work, if anyone would like to join forces:
For 20 years, I was an anti-Israel Jew, not due to the media, but largely due to the Jewish organizations I was part of, who would misinform that Israel was ‘founded’ in 1948, that Herzl had anything to do with it, or even more laughable, the UN. Antisemitic terms such as ‘Palestinians’ to mean the Arab occupiers, and not the indigenous Jews in Israel, who were called Palestinians from 136 AD – 1948, West Bank, settlers, settlements, Green Line, and East Jerusalem. Other lies included that all Jews were exiled after 136 AD. Or that Jews came to Israel per a Biblical story and not invoking actual history, that Jews literally emerged from Semitic tribes in Judea & Samaria 4,000 years ago.
None mentioned that Gaza was Judean land since 145 BC, and to this day, legally, per international law (Article 80) still belongs to Israel. Or that Gaza was an epicenter of Judean life in numerous eras prior to the liberation of Israel, in 1948, by brave Jews after 20 years of fighting the British occupiers. Or that most of the Arab occupiers in Jewish Gaza are not ‘Gazans’ but former Egyptian nationals settled in after 1947/48 and radicalized, or that the other smaller cohort are former Israeli-Arabs who came to Israel originally from 25 different Muslim nations, and who then fled to Gaza, once Egypt stole Gaza, to help Arab armies kill Jews faster in the 1947-1948 War.
In 2014, I became a Zionist, and began to learn actual Judean history along with the history of Israel, as that is interwoven. Social media posting turned into becoming a published op-ed writer on the topics of Israel, antisemitism, and politics. Thousands of people since then have been converted to being pro-Israel solely by my sharing irrefutable facts and history. To date, I have been published over 50 times in both Jewish and non-Jewish publications. And, in 2022, I launched Taking Back the Narrative (www.tbtnisrael.com), a Zionism education company.
All my materials were triple vetted by top Middle Eastern affairs experts, and in the few years of the company being in operation, 7 classes of Israel Explained: Through the Lens of History have been completed, with on average of 100 students per class (worldwide, over Zoom), a newsletter, a Zionism-oriented podcast, The Zionist Corner, and I have been a featured speaker on podcasts, tv segments, and a speaker for both Jewish and non-Jewish groups in person and online.

My classes are perfect for those who are seeking to effectively push back on antisemitic lies. If anyone is interested in a meeting to potentially partner on any aspect of Zionism outreach, I welcome any inquiries. The range of educational services TBTN offers is outlined above.
I am currently also working on a ‘tear sheet’ on Israel to counter the false ones out there, to spread to colleges and universities for Spring 2026.
