Israeli PM Declares ‘New Front’ Defending Christians from Islamist Persecution: ‘Common Judeo-Christian Battle’
Breitbart News ^ | 2026 01 01 | Joshua Klein

Posted on 01/01/2026 1:26:51 PM PST by Silentgypsy

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told evangelical Christian leaders in Florida that Israel is waging a new front against Islamist persecution of Christians worldwide, praising Christian Zionist support for the Jewish state while framing the effort as a “common Judeo-Christian battle.”

Netanyahu met Wednesday with heads of Christian churches and universities, who congratulated him on his meeting with President Donald Trump and praised what his office described as his steadfast wartime decisions.

“You are representatives of the Christian Zionists who made Jewish Zionism possible,” Netanyahu said at the start of the sit-down, crediting Christian support — particularly in the United States — as indispensable to the Jewish state’s “re-emergence.”

A guy’s got to try.

It’s true enough.

And it’ll fly with some, and not the usual suspects.

See tagline.

A good moral position. Especially as Christians are definitely not winning — and need lots of help— just to survive in a number of countries. Africa and Asia including some especially horrible, dangerous situations for Christians.

What hurts, though, is how those Christians who are the most “advantaged” as in several European countries — apparently don’t give a hoot about their (or their children’s) survival (or faith).

The islamicist expansion continues relentlessly. The Africans are pretty much too weak to stop it. And the Europeans ? Too spiritually lost to care. .

I apologize for my ignorance, but I don’t understand your response. Would you please explain? (I believe that the Israeli structure is socialist) Who are the usual suspects?

Concur. Additionally, the President’s treatment of the Sudanese jihadists is to be applauded.

Screw you, nuthinyahoo. Your schmendrickery and alter-cockery may work on fat stupid white Southern Fried Retards like John Hagee, Mike Cuckabee, Ladybugs Graham, Ted Cruz and Zion Don, but it doesn’t work on an increasingly large group of Americans who get what is going on, and get what you are trying to do.

At the end of the 1967 Six Day War against Israel, Moshe Dayan was among the small group of Christians and Jews together, symbolically entering and re-opening the formerly restricted all Muslim area in Jerusalem.

“The reunification of Jerusalem and access to the Western Wall became a powerful symbol for Jews, restoring a connection to their holiest site.
For Christians, it also opened access to holy sites in the Old City, including the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, previously restricted.”

You are correct Israel had a lot of socialist founders.

And its Deep State and courts are profoundly leftists.

But the Israeli people managed to largely free themselves of those shackles and are slowly ripping it out.

Obama and Biden struggled mightily and boldly tried to interfere with the Israelis ridding themselves of socialism, including direct intervention in their elections.

Interesting tagline. So you oppose the USA being a Free Republic?

Well, I read Netanyahu as trying to shore up and expand his Jewish and Israel with Christian and USA alliance. It smells like very good international relations, as well as truly a fundamental defense of Western Civilization. I’m in favor of all of that, but I see its several utilitarian bits as advantageous for most everybody.

Except, here on FR we have some folks I affectionately refer to as The Allahu Akhbar Chorus, who, when presented anything that has a Jew within spitting distance find a way to Blame Tha Jooooos (TM), Israel or Netanyahu. Reasonable, metered and occasional opposition to Israeli policy is fair enough. I have mine, certainly. But among “the usual suspects”, you can get anti-Jew posts at rates like 88% of everything they post. The guy who was at 90% eventually caught the Zot when he sided with the Mullahs against Trump. We still have guys here who have rated up to 88% anti-Jew posts.

So, I knew in advance that this topic would attract a few of them. Indeed, I’ll go look to confirm, but I think one did show up as predicted.

Anyhow, AM YISRAEL CHAI!!!

;-)

Inside Israel Netanyahu is considered crooked and corrupt with most Israelis wanting an independent October 7th probe.

Bibi’s game is to play all available victim cards this fits.

And the POTUS is in bed with Bibi on this victim game firing the cruise missiles at Nigeria on Christmas.

In Christ we are victors not victims.

Yes but as I recall when Clinton sent cruise missiles into Iraq in the 90’s Rush Limbaugh joked about the janitor getting killed the whole thing being political and symbolic

Are your feelings emotions being played by DJT? To take out Islamists in Nigeria would require half-million boots IMHO

“America First, America Only” might be better suited to sending a Christian message of support to fellow Christians around the world.

Getting our own Epstein-stained side of the street clean if you will.
