In his recent speech, Dan Senor outlined Islam’s three-step Blood Libel Playbook.

Step 1 — Accuse: A Jew is accused of a crime. It doesn’t matter if the accusation is true or not, just that it is sensational.

Step 2 — Expand: The alleged crime is expanded to blame all Jews collectively as the guilty party.

Step 3 — Punish: Once every Jew is deemed guilty, every Jew must be punished.

Senor noted that this “blood libel playbook” has been enacted over and over again for over 1,000 years. And it’s playing out again now as a playbook for not only eliminating the Jewish state, but also every Jew.

Step 1: Within days of the October 7 massacre where Islamists murdered more than 1,000 innocent Jewish civilians and children, Israel was accused of genocide, justifying the October 7 attack.

Step 2: And with that one word, “genocide,” every Jew became guilty of supposed crimes against Palestinians, and the Jew haters transformed their bigotry into virtue.

The word “genocide,” Senor explained, does two things that no other word can do.

“First, it encompasses all of us [as Jews], however false the charge, and to be clear, it is false,” Senor said. “It makes every Jew who feels any connection to Israel, which is the overwhelming majority of American Jews, an accessory to the worst crime humanity has a name for.”

“Second,” Senor continued, “the word genocide settles the question of Israel's existence. Ask yourself, can a decent person believe that a genocidal state has a right to exist? How could a responsible member of the U.S. Senate support defensive aid if it's going to a genocidal state? Once you accept the label, wanting Israel gone isn't bigotry anymore. It's virtue.”

Phase 3 of the Jew haters’ plan is being implemented right before our eyes. The playbook has managed to turn “the elimination of the Jewish state, the place where the majority of Jews in the world live, into a cause.”

Here at Christians in Defense of Israel, we are fighting anti-Jewish hatred even as we build support for the world’s only Jewish state. We tell the TRUTH about the Holy Land, we take college-age Christian leaders on transformational trips to Israel, and we work diligently on Capitol Hill to persuade lawmakers to stand with Israel.

But we cannot do this God-honoring work without you. Please make your best possible gift today to help us with this mission.
