Music-star-turned-Jew-hater Macklemore is holding a series of “pro-Palestine” benefit concerts in London, Dublin, and Paris. 

Sickeningly, these concerts are being promoted even as I and 1,000 other Christian leaders from around the world join with Israeli officials touring the grounds of the Nova Music Festival where Macklemore's Palestinian pals massacred 378 innocent Israelis and Jews. The total Oct. 7 death toll is 1,221 people.  

Movie stars like Susan Sarandon and The Avengers' Mark Ruffalo have espoused grossly antisemitic hatred, joining scores more to blame Jews for the massacre. 

But the continued assault on Jews isn’t limited to movie stars in foreign cities.  

Shocking antisemitism is happening here in the U.S. as well.

Jewish high school students in New York and Miami — the first and third largest Jewish population centers outside Israel — continue to come to school only to find Nazi symbols and “F*** Jews” scratched into their lockers and stalls. 

Holocaust memorials and Jewish synagogues are being vandalized and attacked. 

But global media continues to try to gaslight the world by claiming Wednesday’s hijacking was simply a depressed pilot who wanted to kill himself. 

It’s 1939 all over again. And what we do now will determine exactly what side of history we will be on. 

Here, with my shoes on Israeli soil, I am reminded that this latest attack and all the Islamic hatred toward these beautiful Jewish people is nothing new. 

Israel and Jews around the world have been a target for Islamic terror since Muhammad invented his religion of hate. 

And I will not let the world forget.

Will you stand with me? 

The world is turning against Israel, as well as Jews around the globe — even here in America. Christians in Defense of Israel needs your help to take on antisemitism. 

Only your direct financial support makes Christians in Defense of Israel’s work possible. 

Please prayerfully consider making a generous donation to our ministry. Your direct financial support allows CIDI to defend Israel in the halls of Congress and across America. Israel needs you now. Will you answer the call?

Please pray with me for the families of those who lost their lives on October 7, 2023. May their memories be a blessing. 

Please pray also for those who survived, and the safety of all Israeli and Jewish people worldwide.
