Joel Rosenberg: ‘Evangelicals as a bloc are about the only friends that Israel has’
Evangelical Christians have historically stood by Israel as some of the most ardent supporters of the Jewish people and the Jewish state. Since the war broke with Hamas’ invasion of Israel on Oct. 7, many Evangelicals have participated in solidarity tours to the nation's southern communities, met with families of hostages and raised funds for humanitarian relief efforts.
As global support for Israel appears to be dwindling the longer the war goes on, Evangelicals continue to jump to defend the country’s cause in a war that it didn’t start. They are making a moral, material and spiritual difference on the ground, spreading influence that spans from media outlets to political circles.
This is why the special connection between Evangelicals and Israelis was very much evident at this year’s National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) Convention in Nashville, Tennessee. It was reflected not only as a subject of discussion in the various panels and on-stage speeches – including a keynote address by former U.S. President Donald Trump – but also in the significant attendance of Israeli government officials and representatives of Israeli organizations.
Israel’s foreign ministry arranged a private screening of the 45-minute footage of Hamas’ atrocities from Oct. 7 during the NRB. Attendees also had the opportunity to bear witness to the horrific events of that day through a virtual reality experience using a special headset.
