		<description><![CDATA[Loud and passionate support for the Jewish State at a critical moment.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/bh.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-237308" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/bh.jpg" alt="bh" width="302" height="201" /></a>Recent events have propelled <a href="http://www.cufi.org/site/PageServer">Christians United for Israel</a> (CUFI) to the front row of pro-Israel organizations.</p>
<p>The group advertised last week’s <a href="http://www.cufi.org/site/PageServer?pagename=2014Summit_Speakers">Washington D.C. Summit</a>, held July 21, as a more compact two-day program. Last year’s conclave offered a three-day affair. But if anyone thought the faith-based pro-Israel organization was becoming less relevant, they would think otherwise after attending the latest confab.</p>
<p>At the very moment when the Jewish State was under a crushing vise of global criticism for its involvement in Operation Protective Edge, CUFI (pronounced koo-PHI and not koo-FEE) roused its American heartland membership in loud, rollicking support of Israel. It did so in the pivotal capitol of Washington D.C. at a pivotal time.</p>
<p>Led by firebrand evangelist <a href="http://www.jhm.org/">Pastor John Hagee</a>, some 4,800 foot stomping, shofar-blowing Christian delegates traveled from across the nation and some from overseas to attend the non-stop cavalcade of podium grandiloquence, towering video effects, mesmerizing Israeli music, and special informational sessions. Part tent revival and part political salvo, CUFI’s Washington Summit is patterned after <a href="http://www.aipac.org/pc">the mega-gatherings staged by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee</a> in the same hall. CUFI speakers brought clarity and context to its attendees in the midst of the latest fog of the latest Arab-Israeli war.</p>
<p>Indeed, at the very hour CUFI’s convention gaveled open, the Jewish State was fiercely fighting moment-to-moment terrorist threats scampering over the Gaza border fence, paddling in from the sea, streaking in from the sky, and tunneling beneath the ground. Moreover, Jerusalem was contending with a <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/edwin-black/financing-mideast-flamesc_b_4874795.html">well-financed highly-politicized adverse humanitarian political machine</a> supported by American tax-deductible 501(c)(3) donations. So every round of CUFI applause and utterance of support was considered a precious gesture to beleaguered Israelis who right now need a friend.</p>
<p>CUFI’s long A-List roster of speakers included media personalities deputy editorial page editor Bret Stephens from <em>The Wall Street Journal</em>, Bill Kristol from <em>The Weekly Standard</em>, and Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Charles Krauthammer from PBS. No fewer than five members of Congress attended.</p>
<p>Particularly on fire were two speakers: Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of President of Major Jewish Organizations and investigative reporter Erick Stakelbeck from Christian Broadcast Network. Both wowed the crowd with history, insight, and reason as Israel tried to justify its right to exist&#8211;<a href="http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2013/04/hamas-qatar-relationship-independence.html">free from terrorism robustly financed by Qatari money</a> and others.</p>
<p>Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took time, via taped message, to thank the evangelical crowd for standing by Israel during its hourglass of need. He spoke from Israel, bunkered in a secure room at the height of the conflict that day. To thunderous applause, Senator Lindsay Graham exhorted the Israelis in their Gaza strategy to “go as far as you need to go, and do what you’ve got to do.”</p>
<p>Ambassador Ron Dermer not only exhilarated the crowd, but felt so comfortable with the audience that when he was heckled on three separate occasions by pro-Hamas Palestinian protestors, he defiantly talked back drowning out the disruptors as they were being hustled from the auditorium. Dermer felt so comfortable with the audience that he openly and repeatedly referred to the hecklers as “<a href="http://www.jta.org/2014/07/22/news-opinion/politics/with-jabs-at-obama-cufi-lobbies-for-iran-sanctions-end-to-p-a-aid">moral idiots</a>” as cheering crowds chanted “Israel! Israel!”</p>
<p>Honored special guests were Jewish philanthropists Sheldon Adelson and his wife Miriam who were lauded with a gold award for helping charitable causes.</p>
<p>More than just lip service and sloganizing, CUFI announced several major initiatives. CUFI’s leadership acknowledged from the podium that there was a distinct disconnect with the younger Christian generation — a group they call “the millennials.” Sons and daughters are increasingly detouring from the path their fathers walked, as is so common in generational divides. Increasingly the millennials are buying into BDS, anti-Israel distortions about international law and a rewriting of Israeli’s history.</p>
<p>Moreover, millennials are adopting wholesale rejection of Israel via a wave of campus teachings called “<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersessionism">Replacement Theology</a>,” which maintains God has forsaken Israel and His “covenant” with the Jews has been replaced by a new covenant with the Church. To counter Christianity’s internal upheaval about the Jewish State, the podium proudly acknowledged 800 campus representatives in attendance engaged in a bold new student-led initiative to combat BDS, anti-Jewish agitation, and a rash anti-Israel attacks on campus, from the dorm room to the classroom. This strategy involves talking back to biased professors and the entire notion of Replacement Theology.</p>
<p>The day after the celebration, CUFI’s membership swarmed into the halls of Congress to lobby their representatives from the heartland to stop funding the Palestinian Authority until it ceases paying terrorist salaries, and to stand with Israel’s in its fight against Hamas.</p>
<p>CUFI has proven that it is an expanding organization with a broadening agenda at the precise moment that Israel needs allies in every corner.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[With the world turning on Israel, steadfast friends show their support.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/cufi.png"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-198470" alt="cufi" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/cufi-450x193.png" width="315" height="135" /></a>In a world in which the Jewish State has very few friends it can rely on, the Christians United for Israel (CUFI) organization looms large as an invaluable friend.  Founded in 2006, CUFI has 1.3 million members spanning all fifty states of the U.S. On Tuesday, July 23, 2013, CUFI held its 8<sup>th</sup> national Night to Honor Israel at the Washington, DC Convention Center, packing 4,500 enthusiastic members and supporters from throughout America and beyond, waving American and Israeli flags, and cheering loudly at all references to Israel by an impressive array of speakers.</p>
<p>CUFI was founded and is chaired by Pastor John Hagee, the Senior Pastor of the Cornerstone mega-Church in San Antonio, TX, and the President and CEO of John Hagee Ministries.  Hagee’s ministry is centered on straightforward Bible teaching, and unwavering support for the Jewish State of Israel and the Jewish people. The John Hagee Ministries occupies a 50,000 square-foot production center, which houses both radio and TV studios.  Currently, Hagee telecasts on eight major networks, 162 independent TV stations, and 51 radio stations throughout the globe, broadcasting in more than 190 nations. David Brog, former chief of staff to the late US Senator Arlen Spector of Pennsylvania, serves as the executive director of CUFI.</p>
<p>CUFI on Campus, founded in 2009, has become a major source of advocacy for Israel on college campuses where BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) campaigns by pro-Palestinian Muslims, leftist students and outside professional provocateurs have hitherto dominated. Since its inception, CUFI has trained more than 2,000 students to effectively advocate for Israel. There are currently 120 CUFI chapters on campuses nationwide, and they maintain an active presence on more than 250 campuses. The organization has also recently launched CUFI Young Professionals, which enables CUFI on Campus graduates to continue their organized Israel advocacy. According to Brog, with the experience that these graduates have acquired, they will be an effective voice in support of Israel at our nation’s capital, and in their communities and churches.</p>
<p>Many of the Jewish attendees of the Night to Honor Israel that this reporter interviewed were touched by the CUFI audience, especially first timers.  Albert Shlamowitz of Richboro, PA, a commercial realtor, a first-time attendee, had this to say: “I was awe struck by the sincere devotion to Israel the crowd at this conference displayed, and I was amazed by the commitment of so many of these people to help Israel. For the first time in my life, I was thoroughly thrilled.”  Israeli native Malka Kantor of King of Prussia,PA, a longtime financial advisor, said that she was “overwhelmed and deeply touched by the display of unconditional love for Israel, and their strong stand for Israel.” She added, “I was overwhelmed by the diversity of the attendees.”</p>
<p>For Shlamowitz, Kantor and the others, it was not just the pro-Israel fervor of the audience. It was the CUFI leadership and speakers, including US Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), Pastor Hagee, Malcolm Honlein (Executive Vice Chairman of the Conference of major Jewish Organizations), Ron Prosor (Israel’s Representative to the United Nations), and Glenn Beck (author, radio and television personality). It was, however, Akaya Lee, former CUFI on Campus Chapter President at the University of Arkansas and a CUFI on Campus Young Professional, who really stole attendees&#8217; hearts. Her heartfelt conviction in God’s promises of the land to Israel was poignantly expressed when she said, “CUFI could well have been called Christians United for Jacob, but his name was changed to Israel after struggling with God’s angel.”</p>
<p>Having Ted Cruz address the audience was a pleasant surprise.  He was not listed on the program.  The maverick senator from Texas struck the audience as an articulate and sincere politician and as a potential presidential candidate in 2016.  With a Hispanic surname and a Cuban father, Ted Cruz has a moving story &#8212; the son of an immigrant who rose from below. Cruz’s mother was born in Delaware to an Irish and Italian working-class family and was the first in her family to go to college. She graduated from Rice University with a degree in mathematics and became a computer programming pioneer in the 1950s. Ted’s father was born in Cuba, fought in the revolution, and was imprisoned and tortured. He fled to Texas in 1957, penniless, not speaking a word of English. He washed dishes for 50 cents an hour, paid his way through the University of Texas, and started a small business in the oil and gas industry. Today, Ted’s father is a pastor in Dallas.</p>
<p>Introduced by Pastor Hagee, Senator Ted Cruz blasted Obama’s foreign policy as one that displays “weakness” and “appeasement.” He exhorted the audience “to speak the truth in an era when so many believe they know better than eternal truth,” a reference to God’s promise to the Jewish people.  He added that “the alliance between the US and Israel must remain completely and entirely unshakeable.” In a clear dig aimed at Obama, he stated that the “US needs leaders who clearly understand that America and Israel are not what’s wrong with the world.”  He questioned President Obama as to why sending arms to the Syrian rebel groups is in the interest of the US, criticizing Obama for supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and the deposed President Morsi of Egypt. He stressed that “there is no greater threat to US security than Iran,” and added, “the US alliance with Israel is not a gift but a benefit to the security of the US.”</p>
<p>Cruz praised Israel for providing freedom and democracy to all its citizens, including Christians. Cruz noted that “there is an irony that many don’t seem to understand &#8211; that weakness encourages violence and military conflict whereas clarity and deterrents are the best way to avoid conflict.” As Iran is moving toward acquiring nuclear weapons, Cruz pointed out, “there is very good reason for the mullahs to believe that the threats from the US are hollow.”  He mocked the Obama administration for its double-speak in calling terrorism “workplace violence.” In conclusion, Senator Cruz declared, “Do not expect the UN Security Council to pass a resolution that calls for the protection of Christians in the Middle East.  Israel is the only obstacle to a Muslim Empire.”</p>
<p>Following the presentation of the Defender of Israel Award to Malcolm Honlein, Pastor Hagee in his booming and prophetic cadence suggested that the world is divided into two parts: those who support Israel and those who do not.  “The Jews of Israel,” Hagee said, “own the land of Israel because God gave it to them.”  He went on to say that “Since Obama declines to support Israel against Iran, let us signal to the enemies of Israel that we support Israel unconditionally.” Alluding to Obama’s refusal to call terror by its name, Hagee made it clear that “the war on terror is not over, it has not even begun.”</p>
<p>Hagee commended US Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) for his legislative initiative to put the military option against Iran on the table.  Addressing the media’s typical misguided characterization of Iran’s President-elect Hassan Rohani as “moderate,” Hagee said, “he may walk like a moderate, speak like a moderate, but he is not a moderate.” The election of Rohani to replace Ahmadinejad has changed nothing.  Iran continues to accelerate its nuclear program.  Turning to the peace process, Hagee asked rhetorically, but quite seriously, “when will the Palestinians be asked to make sacrifices for peace?” He proposed ending US aid to the Palestinian Authority until it recognizes Israel as a Jewish State. “How can you make peace” Hagee said, “with someone who wants to kill you?” He was referring, of course, to the Palestinians.</p>
<p>Nearing the end of his presentation, Pastor Hagee roared, “When America draws a red-line our enemies should tremble.” But not when it comes to our current administration. He then exclaimed his heartfelt beliefs. “We Christians stand with Israel now, tomorrow, and forever,” adding that “Christians and Jews are a marriage made in Heaven.”</p>

		<description><![CDATA[An impassioned defense of the Jewish State. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/flet.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-198228" alt="flet" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/flet.jpg" width="280" height="210" /></a>Thousands of participants at the 8<sup>th</sup> Annual Christians United for Israel Summit waved Israeli and American flags Tuesday night, as CUFI’s “Night to Honor Israel” put a spectacular cap on a gathering that critics and friends alike call “a beast.”</p>
<p>Judging from the conversations, both in hallways and on the dais, where Malcolm Hoenlein—who delivered a thundering address Tuesday afternoon—rubbed elbows with evangelical leader John Hagee, the San Antonio pastor, who has mobilized more than one million people to advocate for Israel under the CUFI umbrella, seemed upbeat. In an address before the Summit participants, he reminded all of the positives:</p>
<p>“The Holocaust ended in statehood,” said the man who began developing close ties with Israeli and American Jewish leaders decades ago.</p>
<p>David Brog, a former Washington attorney (and cousin of Ehud Barak), is executive director of CUFI, and he used a breakout session to deliver a masterful response to those who say the Arab-Israeli conflict is a result of what the Left call the Occupation.</p>
<p>“It’s absurd on the face of it,” Brog said, delivering a clear and concise history of the region since 1948. Noting that the PLO was formed in 1964—three years before Israel took the West Bank, Golan Heights, and Sinai in a defensive war—Brog provided participants with plenty of information to answer charges they hear back home in their churches.</p>
<p>On Tuesday afternoon, in a ballroom session titled “Middle East Briefing,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the gathering, and noted his long friendship with Hagee:</p>
<blockquote><p>“What an achievement! I salute you. You are an oasis of support for Israel, and we have no better friends than you, anywhere on the globe.”</p></blockquote>
<p>In an interesting response that seemed to resonate with Christians who are becoming aware of an infiltration of the Palestinian narrative into American churches, Israeli Tourism Minister Uzi Landau said that “Arab money and the radical Left” have fueled media attacks on Israel. The comment showed a growing awareness of the problem, as CUFI Western Regional Director Randy Neal outlined similar problems to hundreds of college students Sunday afternoon. More than ever, there was sense at this CUFI Summit that the era of unchallenged attacks from the Left is over.</p>
<p>House Majority Leader Eric Cantor related a dual story that underscored the difference in the cultures of jihadists and those who oppose them. Cantor said that he had been part of a delegation that heard a detailed briefing on the Iron Dome project, which has saved thousands of Israeli lives during rocket attacks from Gaza.</p>
<p>Cantor said that the designer of the Dome, distraught when a single rocket claimed the life of an Israeli, went “back to the lab” to perfect the defense shield. Cantor noted that this stood in stark contrast to a Palestinian woman from Gaza who was treated in an Israeli hospital, but upon returning for a follow-up visit, she was stopped at a checkpoint, where her bomb belt was discovered. The woman had planned to blow up the very doctors and nurses that had saved her life.</p>
<p>Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish organizations, relished the opportunity to inject a more aggressive response to critics of Israel, telling the participants: “The Jewish lobby is a myth; it’s our job to make it a legend!” Hoenlein also knew what type of language would resonate with the CUFI Summit participants when he said, “Don’t bet against the Jews.”</p>
<p>Many in attendance were brought to tears by the address delivered by Richard Kemp, commander of British forces in Afghanistan. Kemp began by revealing his own Christian faith, and invoked the name of another legend, whom he called “The greatest Christian Zionist in Britain.” He went on to say that he had, that morning, spoken to Orde Wingate. Many in the crowd smiled but were puzzled.</p>
<p>“I spoke to him this morning at Arlington,” Kemp said. Wingate, the British major-general who was a Christian Zionist, helped train what would become the Haganah, the forerunner of the Israel Defense Forces. Wingate was killed in a plane crash in India, in 1944, but remains a beloved figure for Israelis and their American supporters.</p>
<p>Kemp delivered an impassioned defense of Israel that brought many in the room to tears. He mentioned several of Israel’s major battlefield achievements, calling the 1976 Entebbe rescue, “The most breathtaking special forces operation the world has ever seen.”</p>
<p>Kemp also referred to the CUFI Summit as a “remarkable event,” and indeed it was. Jews and Christians alike were moved by such displays as the “Wall of Remembrance,” which profiled the 1,000 Israelis killed by jihadist terrorism since 2000.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, participants met with their representatives on Capitol Hill.</p>
