One of the most important discussions happening over the next week or so will be where's the line of inclusion on the Right. Andrew's piece here is spot on.
I am a Christian Zionist.
It was Theodor Herzl who first coined the term “Christian Zionist” to describe his Christian friends & supporters. He invited as his personal guests 10 Christians to observe the First Zionist Congress in Basel in 1897, including William Hechler & the famed founder of the Red Cross Henry Dunant.
Christians who support the Jewish people’s right to live in Israel are Christian Zionists, and Christian Zionists also proudly stand with their Jewish neighbors against the scourge of antisemitism.
Nearly all evangelical Christians are Zionists, at least a super super super majority. There are 700 + million evangelicals, 10% of them in America.
Historically, most mainline Protestants were also Christian Zionists. Nearly every one of America’s founders felt an attachment to Zionist language, the story of the Jewish people inspired the early American story & animated our values. This is why we say we are a country established on Judeo-Christian values, drawn from the Hebrew and Christian Bibles.
It is better to try and take a few days and read an actual book like “The Arc of A Covenant: The United States, Israel, and the Fate of the Jewish People” by Walter Russell Mead….than just consume quick takes on X. History is a friend.
Learn.
Then, have an opinion.
If you're Catholic and haven't heard of "Nostra Aetate," you should read it!
This 60-year-old Church document is only a few paragraphs long, but it was transformational in Catholic-Jewish relations. ⬇️

Keys to peace enforcement in Gaza:
Zero tolerance for Hamas ceasefire violations.
Zero tolerance for delays in Hamas disarming, including tunnel destruction.
Zero tolerance for Hamas control/influence of aid via UN.
Zero tolerance for the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Jazeera.
At the @JP2Shrine today for a conference on Nostra Aetate, rallied against the evil that is antisemitism. Greeted at Mass by shades covering Rupnik art. We gather in humility, pleading for God’s forgiveness and mercy. @philosproject@philoscatholic@KofC@NRO@SimoneRizkallah
Palestinian Authority (PA) payments to prisoners & the families of ‘martyrs’ were made on Saturday at PA post offices.
Palestinian ‘Pay for Slay’ isn’t over, despite assuring the world they stopped.
This policy encourages terror. It must stop.

“Famine” was fake and fabricated.
“Genocide” was fake and fabricated.
Even Hamas figures don’t support the fake claims of UN-affiliated organizations that were amplified recklessly by most western media.
Who will be held accountable.
Sweden confirms: Greta Thunberg never complained of abuse while detained in Israel.
Swedish officials who visited her say she made no mention of mistreatment. Yet back home, in front of cameras, she suddenly claimed Israel abused her, with stories suspiciously similar to real hostages’.
She didn’t just lie. She stole the suffering of people who endured two years of real abuse in Gaza to make her headlines.
Even Sweden seems done with her drama.
EXPOSED:
Qatar's Al Jazeera gives Hamas a propaganda and psychological warfare platform.
Hamas operatives, from rocket launchers to hostage takers, work for Al Jazeera. Terror propaganda is not journalism.

Today, I gave a speech in Jerusalem at a free public university for Jewish Israeli people. The title of the speech: Jewish and Aramaic Chrsitian Maronites founders of Israel and Lebanon, similarities and lessons for strong everlasting Israel. It was amazing to see the reaction of the Jewish audience and how thirsty they are to know about Aramaic and Maronites.
I have said it many times. Hamas (according to multiple senior Hamas official statements) do not only have a human shield strategy, they have a human sacrifice strategy. The call for the death of their own population to achieve their political goal of the destruction of Israel.
Hear from leading Catholic voices shaping the future of Catholic–Jewish friendship.
Join us Oct 28th online or in person at the Saint John Paul II National Shrine for Called to Friendship, marking 60 years of Nostra Aetate. Link in bio.
The Philos Project joins the Jewish community in mourning the tragic and sudden loss of a great man, Rabbi Moshe Hauer, may his memory be for a blessing.
Rabbi Hauer, who served as the Executive Vice President of the @OrthodoxUnion, was a beloved friend of The Philos Project. He gave us his unwavering support in bettering Jewish-Christian relations and took pride in the work that we did for Israel and the Jewish People. We are devastated by his untimely passing.
We embrace the Jewish community in this time of darkness and pray for Rabbi Hauer's family.
May God grant Rabbi Hauer's family and friends comfort during this painful time, leaving only the cherished memory of a singular, wise, devout and lovely man.
Today, we should all be grateful to the men and women of the IDF who made this day happen. Without the 915 fallen soldiers and the tens of thousands of people who left their normal lives, careers and families to protect Israel and put deadly pressure on Hamas (and Hezbollah and Iran) we would not be getting the hostages back today. They deserve more of our attention and appreciation today.
All glory to God!
We are so grateful to President Trump and his team for helping the Israeli people bring OUR hostages home. For the first time in two years, Israelis can finally breathe a bit easier
“Best friend” to a “vital ally”
Trump delivered a clear articulation of all that is right and righteous after two years of mis and disinformation.
And a clear repudiation of Tucker Carlson and woke right voices trying to flip the conservative movement against Israel.
