We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
Israel Has a Missionary Problem[2]) myriad initiatives emanating from various Christian denominations for millennia have pursued Jews for conversion to belief in the divinity of Jesus through pacific and coercive means. Notwithstanding the many genuine Christian supporters of the State of Israel and the Jewish people who we cherish and continue to work closely with, over the last 60 years, the deceptive “Messianic” movement has emerged, and even more recently some Evangelical Christians who, under the cover of veritable “support” for Israel, actively leverage that backing to “lead the Jews to perfection” and “provoke them to jealousy”—two highly anti-Semitic and domineering notions.
Now with the potential election of what some insiders have described as a “Christian slate”[3] to the 39th World Zionist Congress—Zionist Movement’s international Jewish parliament—in elections that will be held in the U.S. beginning March 10. Israel365 Action and its parent organization Israel365 has been approved for participation in the election process over objections from some sitting representatives and appeals to the election board despite accusations that “Israel365 Action may have a hidden Christian agenda.”[4] Indeed, ever since its founding in 2012, Israel365 has enabled Evangelical Christians—many of them active missionaries—to gain added legitimacy within Jewish circles. This paper argues that Israel365 Action’s participation in the World Zionist Organization (WZO) elections and, subsequently in the Zionist Congress would insinuate pro-Christian elements associated with active missionaries into the WZO and its affiliates. This would be a tragedy for the Zionist Movement and the Jewish People considering Israel365’s association with zealous evangelizing and messianic entities who have a Christ-centered agenda directed towards the Jewish people as outlined below.
