EXCLUSIVE: Why did Amb. David Friedman, a modern Orthodox Jew, choose the Trinity Broadcasting Network to co-produce a ground-breaking series on the Abraham Accords?

JERUSALEM—When Donald J. Trump became president of the United States in January of 2017, it was not obvious to almost anyone that he would become the first American leader in history to broker four Arab-Israeli peace agreements.

Nor was it obvious that he would be helped in this ground-breaking effort by a team of four modern Orthodox Jews that included Jared Kushner, David Friedman, Jason Greenblatt and Avi Berkowitz.

It certainly wasn’t obvious that David Friedman – whom Trump appointed as his ambassador to Israel – would then turn to the world’s largest Christian television network to tell the story of what the Abraham Accords really are, why they are so important, or how they came to pass.

Donald Trump hinted at several more peace agreements with Israel. I guess that is dead in the water because the election was stolen.

Simple, Evangelical Christians are the number one supporter of Israel. They do not get into Israrli political positions, there support is based on God’s promises to the jews. Support is based on the completely one-sided Abrahamic covenant.

in my opinion, a pretty stupid headline

Good Christians support Israel as much as, or more than, many Jews (and a million times more than the traitorous commie types with Jewish, or Christian, surnames)

one tends to hang out with one’s friends, after all

I don’t think it’s stupid at all.

A lot of Jews are completely clueless about what exactly Christianity is. Most are confused about their own religion to be honest.

Christians get a really bad rep in Israel.

Agreed.
At least I have met hundreds of Christians and hundreds of Jews who understand very little indeed about their own faith traditions (or, for that matter, any other faith traditions).
This is mostly a reflection of the “secularization” of modern society, and I believe parental neglect plays a significant role, too.
I am OKAY with somebody growing up and deciding that his family’s faith tradition is not for him/her. That decision can and should be entertained as an adult, after learning what the faith is about.
I am very sad about children growing up without any meaningful religious (or MORAL) instruction, whether Protestant, Catholic, or Jewish, etc. To me, this is like raising kids without providing them adequate nutrition to grow healthy and strong.

Bad consequences include:
1. a poor understanding of life
2. often poor or even awful moral values, too
3. any spiritual consequences your faith tradition teaches,
and
4. lacking any other faith or philosophical mooring or raison d-etre in (and for!) their lives, these hungry souls often turn to the worst of materialistic or worldly “causes” for meaning in their lives. You see this with some of those sitting in “liberal” churches or “reform” synagogues, and among those that have walked away from either.
In the last few years, these “causes” or substitute-religions (if you will) tend to mostly be far leftist ideologies like communism/socialism/”progressive-ism”/Nazi-ism, or the like.

IN other words, some of the worst or at least more destructive people in our society.

Why TBN? Probably because no major secular network would touch on anything that made Trump look good, especially with regards to Israel. He’s an anti-Semite, you know. /s

I have a buddy that worked there. He said most Israelis don’t really like us.

Israeli intelligence officials have been arrested several times on the premises of American companies attempting economic espionage. They have been caught stealing documents, searching documents, and attempting to breach computer networks. It is usually done as a false visit by prospective buyers or prospective suppliers. Fact.

"Evangelical Christians are the number one supporter of Israel. are the number one supporter of Israel."
I knew an Evangelical Christians lady from Germany married to a preacher from Latin America. She wore a star of David of David brooch or necklace (Magen David). I think she considered her religion Judaism reformed by the Messiah.

One of the first things a counterintel person will tell you is that there are no “friendly countries”, only “allied countries”. But yeah, when it comes to espionage against the United States, the two worst offenders after Russia and China are Israel and France. Sickening, isn’t it?
