CUFI UK Update - Spring 2025

Defending
Israel means
Fighting for
Britain and
the Church
Spring Update 2025
Christians United for Israel UK
has a singular focus: Israel.
We are defending Israel, both the
people and the land, by standing
upon the truth of the Bible.
Israel may seem like a narrow focus, but the
battleground surrounding Israel is wide. Just
as Israel is attacked from all angles; militarily,
politically, spiritually, and more, the battle to
defend Israel means we have to engage in
every aspect of our own society, because the
hatred for Israel has permeated every sphere of
influence.
We realise now that as we defend Israel and
stand with the truth of the Bible, it naturally
leads us to fight for the very soul of Britain and
for the health of the Church.
The situation for Israel may appear uncertain
to the world, but we know God is on their side.
Their future is secure in Him. The UK does not
have that same assurance. Britain needs to get
back to its Judeo-Christian roots and bless Israel.
It cannot survive if it is opposing God.
The 15th of April 2025 marked the 80th
anniversary since the liberation of Bergen-
Belsen, a Nazi concentration camp where
tens-of-thousands of Jews were murdered,
including Anne Frank and her sister Margot. It
was also the first concentration camp that British
forces liberated and where they uncovered the
atrocities of the Holocaust first hand. When
British troops arrived, 15,000 unburied corpses
were discovered. It became a defining moment
in Britain’s experience of the Holocaust and gave
the troops involved renewed vigour towards
defeating the Nazis.
Famously, BBC reporter Richard Dimbleby gave
an emotional broadcast that the BBC initially
refused to air, but Dimbleby threatened to quit,
believing that the images must be shown so the
public could see these horrors for themselves.
This was a time when Britain knew what it stood
for. The soldiers on the front lines were fighting
for a higher purpose than themselves. They were
fighting for God, for King, and for the Christian
values Britain stood for.
The BBC at that time was still seeking to uphold
its founding values statement that put “Almighty
God” at the forefront and challenges those
working at the BBC with “a prayer that good
seed sown may bring forth a good harvest,
that all things hostile to peace or purity may be
banished from this house, and that the people,
inclining their ear to whatsoever things are
beautiful and honest and of good report, may
tread the path of wisdom and uprightness.”
