Americans, on the right especially, are exhausted by efforts to minimize or justify the Holocaust.
They are horrified by those who claim a moral obligation to support Hamas.
They are unmoved by conspiracy theories directed at the Jews, and by bigots who who are unwilling to disavow and shame America-hating homicidal terrorists.
Americans, on the right especially, are exhausted by efforts to use the Holocaust as a moral obligation to support Israel.
They are unmoved by accusations of anti-Semitism and any hardline approaches to disavow and shame Israel's critics.

Just heard the news that my long time buddy Mike Ditka died….He asked me to do motivational/devotionals for the Saints when he was coach…He presented me the Game Ball after this significant victory back in 1998…
This is Pastor Appreciation Month…..Give your pastor a gift with meaning and encouragement…. Every pastor should know and learn from the life and legacy of WA Criswell…and a bit of the legend as well!
Coming first quarter of 2027… “For Zion’s Sake we can not be silent…for Jerusalem’s sake we can not be quiet” Isaiah 62:1
Poignant words from my dear friend who lost his first born son as he tried to rescue hostages in Gaza and now sits at the bedside of his severely wounded second son victim of the recent terror attack. For Zions sake we can not be silent
I have to take a moment from my son’s bedside, on life support after being struck by a Palestinian terrorist, to respond to the dangerous lies being spewed by @NYCMayor.
It’s actually hard to find a sentence in Mamdani’s post that isn’t a lie.
Paying lip service to the victims of October 7 just to spread blood libels about Israel might play nicely to the red-green/communist-Islamist alliance that he promotes in the U.S, but those of us who know better see his perverted language for what it is. This man is a defender of Palestinian terrorism, a promoter of antisemitism, and an advocate of anti-Americanism.
Even today, October 7, he can’t help but attack the Jewish state with absurd accusations and outright propaganda.
Let’s be clear: the only attempted genocide in this conflict was perpetrated by the barbarians he supports, Hamas, who butchered, raped, and murdered in the most horrific ways imaginable.
There is no genocide, ethnic cleansing, or famine in Gaza. Hamas embeds itself among, behind, and beneath the people of Gaza, knowing that the IDF will not, ever, intentionally target civilians. It robs its own people of the humanitarian aid that Israel has facilitated into Gaza since the war began.
Hamas knows that its allies, including Zohran Mamdani, will regurgitate its lies, demonizing Israel and endangering Jews everywhere.
Israel and its allies will not be deterred from defending civilization against terrorist savagery. Those of us who envision a peaceful and prosperous Middle East, will root out the evil that is Islamic terrorism and build a better future for all, Jew and Arab alike.
If you want to understand the extent of the lies told by Mamdani and his radical Islamic commrades, you can read the truth in my book, “Manufacturing a Modern Blood Libel,” here: linktr.ee/israelinusa.
Preaching the funeral today of one of the best men I ever knew Jim Ray Smith…He loved the Lord, His family, His friends, and his church First Baptist Church, Dallas…Like Barnabas “He saw the grace of God and was glad&encouraged us all for he was a good man” Ac11:23 dallasnews.com/sports/cowboy…
Mark Twain said“All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality?”The answer-“For you are a holy people to the Lord…He has chosen you to be a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth. The Lord did not love&choose you because you were more in number for you were the least of all peoples; but because the Lord loves you” (Duet 7:5-8)
MY LATEST OPINION PIECE IN ALL ISRAEL NEWS-A WAKE UP CALL… allisraelnews.com/blog/a-hou…
Listening to the vitriol toward Israel by many at the U.N. this week makes us wonder if the prophecy of Zechariah 14:2 that “all nations will come against Israel” is about to be fulfilled before our eyes. It is time to join John in praying “Even so come Lord Jesus” Rev22:20
When tempted to promote bigger crowds&build His brand Jesus said, “My time has not yet come” (Jn7:6)If you are a pastor&think you are forgotten perhaps “your time has not yet come”…WA Criswell spent the 1st 10yrs as a pastor in small unknown places before “his time came”👇
