Antisemitism surprise outbreak — this rhetoric is dangerous
Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, and others reach millions with poisonous lies that incite venomous hate against the Jewish people and Israel. It’s a dangerous threat that must be answered.
Senator Ted Cruz recently warned:
“In the last six months, I’ve seen more antisemitism on the right than I had in my entire life.”
Jew-hatred has long found a home on the left. But now, outspoken enemies of Israel are targeting conservatives.
This could not come at a worse time. The Trump administration is considering partitioning Israel into a “two-state” solution. Violent attacks against Jews are on the rise around the world. And, as of this writing, Christians in Defense of Israel is 17% SHORT of our annual budget. We need to raise 14,596 dollars by MIDNIGHT, December 31.

Carlson labels Zionism “an attack on Western civilization” and smears Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as “literally the main enemy of the West.” He hosted Candace Owens, who told millions that “demonic” Israel is “controlling our government.”
Even worse, Carlson welcomed Hitler admirer and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes for a friendly chat. Fuentes’ message to American Jews?
“Get the f— out of America.”
Yet Carlson fiercely interrogated Sen. Cruz for supporting Israel and lashed out at Christian Zionists — people like you and me who love the Jewish state.
To Tucker, Christian Zionism is a “dangerous heresy” and a “brain virus.” He even said:
“I despise Christian Zionists more than anyone else on earth.”
Sen. Cruz calls this spike in anti-Israel bigotry “a poison” and warns of “an existential crisis in our party and our country.”
With your help, Christians in Defense of Israel speaks out against growing antisemitism on the right. We raise up pro-Israel champions through Covenant Journey trips, keep you informed, and advocate in Washington and around the world for a strong U.S.-Israel alliance.
But we can’t do this alone. As I noted above, CIDI is short of our annual goal. With so much work ahead of us in the New Year, we need your direct, tax-deductible financial support more than ever.
Will you partner with CIDI now by making a generous year-end gift by the Dec. 31 deadline?
