Christian Leaders Celebrate Israel Amid Warnings Of Waning Support
The list’s breadth speaks to the diversity of Israel’s Christian supporters. Among this year’s honorees: Rev. Johnnie Moore, director of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation; world boxing champion Floyd Mayweather, lauded for funding emergency aid after the October 7 attacks; Daystar Television founder Joni Lamb; Pastor Jentezen Franklin, recognized for leading humanitarian relief for Israeli communities; Fox News host Sean Hannity; Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy; CPAC Hungary Director Miklós Szánthó; actor and producer Kelsey Grammer; and Family Research Council President Tony Perkins. Each, the IAF says, has played a crucial role in “mobilizing global support for Israel, especially in the face of rising antisemitism and international criticism.” “This year’s list reflects the extraordinary commitment of Christian leaders who have stood with Israel, particularly during the challenges of the past two years,” IAF President Josh Reinstein told Breitbart News. “Their support is a testament to the enduring bond between the Christian and Jewish communities, rooted in shared Judeo-Christian values.” (Grand Pinnacle Tribune 10/6/25) READMORE>>>>

There are dozens of other ways to help children around the world that will do more real good than Samaritan’s Purse and that will not give a platform to a high-profile minister in whom the spirit of truth does not reside. Franklin Graham has made himself as big a liar as Donald Trump by spouting this nonsense. One big difference is that Trump doesn’t claim to speak for God.

The GOP: Merging flag and cross
Under President Trump, the U.S. is veering “toward Christian nationalism,” said Zachary B. Wolf in CNN.com. Since January, a growing number of the administration’s actions “have blurred the lines” between church and state. Trump has created a White House Faith Office, as well as Justice Department task forces charged with targeting “anti-Christian policies” and “threats to religious liberty.” His budget office has said workers can now “bring religion into the workplace,” while his IRS has said churches can endorse political candidates without sacrificing their tax-exempt status. This embrace of Christian nationalism was on stark display at Charlie Kirk’s memorial, where Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth evoked “the blood of Jesus” and spoke of “a spiritual war” underway, and Trump aide Stephen Miller said the administration is “on the side of God” and will defeat “the forces of wickedness.” The clear message, said Stephanie McCrummen in The Atlantic, is that the administration views its “political agenda as a cosmic battle against the forces of evil.”
