And with no contradictions whatsoever, this blogpost celebrates Christian soldiers for Israel. Why now? Because Shmuel Bowman, who runs OPERATION…
By Victor Sharpe, Israel National News— I was recently looking back at the obscene 2009 Goldstone Report which unleashed all that we already knew of the world; that it hates the Jews and hates the reconstituted Jewish state. The report’s bigotry, its lies of commission and omission, were made even more unbearable by the fact…

In 2020, people were startled by the Abraham Accords between Israel and the United Arab Emirates. Hope was…

By Arlene Bridges Samuels, All Israel News— I am writing today with some trepidation. When I express my opinions, I try to do so honestly yet diplomatically without name-calling or negative adjectives.

By JOHN D. WILSEY, Christianity Today— Dwight D. Eisenhower was the first president baptized in office. Shortly after his inauguration, Edward L. R. Elson of the National Presbyterian Church in Washington baptized the president in a private ceremony.
