82 WHY ISRAEL
Meanwhile, here in the U.S., our Jewish neighbors face vastly more persecution than they have in recent years. Students are victims of vandalism in universities across our nation while worshipers are targeted in their synagogues. Anti-Zionism has developed as a thin veil for anti-Semitism yet has been accepted by too many Americans. There has never been a more import- ant time to refuse to be a bystander. CUFI exists for such a time as this.
Though anti-Semitism is attempting to envelope the world in its darkness, this time the Jewish people are not alone. Millions of Christians stand prepared to defend our Jewish brothers and sisters. CUFI will continue to ensure our voice is heard in support of the state of Israel in Washington’s halls of power, at the UN, in universities across the nation, and in churches worldwide. CUFI will stand, proud and strong, as watchmen on behalf of the Jewish people. For Zion’s sake we will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake we will not keep quiet, until her vindication shines out like the dawn, and her salvation like a blazing torch (Isaiah 62:1).
“We have no better friends in the world than the evangelical community, and the evangelical community has no better
friend in the world than Israel.”
—Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu
