The Anti-Defamation League reports some 150 anti-Israel rallies across the U.S. in the first week after Hamas slaughtered more than 1,200 Israelis, wounded 5,000, and took 240 hostages. These rallies were marked by hostility for Israel and heartlessness for suffering Israelis.

• In Philadelphia, one speaker blasted Israel and defended Hamas, declaring ...

What happened was freedom fighters fighting for freedom… every person who died yesterday wasn’t innocent. Every Israeli settler by default is a terrorist.

• In Washington, D.C., rabid fans of Hamas rallied on Oct. 8 to vent their hate for Israel. A speaker told attendees to “take the fight to Zionist institutions in the west” and said, “duty calls us to fulfill this war.”

• In Denver, a speaker at a pro-Hamas event urged attendees to look online for pictures of kidnapped Israelis taken from “homes that they stole” in order to “put a smile on your face.”

• In New York City, an Oct. 15 rally speaker shouted that Israel is a “Zionist extermination campaign that began in 1948.”

• In Anaheim, California, a rally speaker celebrated the Hamas slaughter: “Our fighters have started to fight back again. ... people in Gaza right now are fighting so hard ... and we're right here in the United States fighting this battle with them, right?”

• And in Muslim-dominated Dearborn, Michigan, a speaker declared: “the only hope that Palestine has is its armed resistance. ... If you’re pro-Palestine, then you’re pro-armed resistance.”

And this brief report only begins to describe the seething, antisemitic hate that has erupted across America since Oct. 7. The Palestinian war on Israel has come to America and the black cloud of antisemitism darkens our land.

Will you help Christians in Defense of Israel speak out NOW for the Jewish people and the state of Israel? I am asking for your generous year-end gift today to make our pro-Israel voice even louder across our nation, in Washington, D.C., and in Israel.

Thanks to good friends like you, we are making a difference. Because of you ...

• CIDI informs, equips, and activates friends of Israel like you to speak and act in defense of God’s people.

• We’re on Capitol Hill where we monitor legislation, engage lawmakers and forward pro-Israel petitions you and others sign to spur pro-Israel policy in Congress.

• And with your help, CIDI is training college-age Christians to be champions for Israel through Covenant Journey, which gives promising young people an unforgettable and transformational 10-day visit to the amazing Holy Land.

You make all this possible! But we live in a very dangerous time for Israel. So much more needs to be done to uphold Israel and denounce the rank hatred for Jews exploding in our nation.

Will you help? Your much-needed year-end gift now will reach hearts and minds with the powerful truth about modern Israel! You’ll help us fight the scourge of antisemitism as we defend God’s people. Please be as generous as you can before midnight, December 31, in YOUR time zone!

Thank you so much for your friendship. My prayer is that you know and experience God’s blessing as you bless and stand with Israel!
