In today’s political climate, many European nations find themselves grappling with the decision of whether to support Israel—God’s chosen people—or to bow to the growing pressure from far-left movements seeking to undermine the Jewish state. The rising tide of anti-Israel sentiment across Europe, spurred by the far-left’s influence, places a grave responsibility on Christian leaders and believers to speak up, ensuring that their governments align themselves with Israel, the nation that carries a divine mandate of protection and preservation.
Israel, from its inception, has been a nation under siege. Surrounded by hostile forces and terrorist organizations like Hamas, it faces constant threats to its sovereignty and the safety of its people. Despite the challenges, Israel stands tall, defending its borders and the lives of its citizens with courage and conviction. As Christians, we must recognize that this right to defend itself is not just a political issue—it is a biblical one. God’s covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob underscores His unbreakable promise to protect Israel and its people. When Israel takes action to safeguard its citizens from terror, it is acting within its God-given right to self-defense.
As Psalm 121:4 reminds us, “He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.” God's protection over Israel is everlasting, and it is our duty to stand in solidarity with His people. In doing so, we are not merely supporting a political ally—we are upholding biblical principles that transcend human governments.
In recent months, we have seen Europe’s governments buckle under the pressure of far-left groups, who often advocate policies that isolate and demonize Israel. Some nations, swayed by this pressure, have hesitated to sell arms to Israel or express public support for its right to defend itself. Even the new British government, once a staunch ally of Israel, now appears to waver in its commitment. This indecision is dangerous, not just for Israel, but for the future of Europe itself.
The moral foundations of Europe, rooted in Judeo-Christian values, are what have made it a beacon of civilization, democracy, and prosperity. It is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob who has blessed Europe with peace, stability, and economic success. To turn away from Israel is to turn away from these very foundations. Europe must remember that standing with Israel is not just a political choice—it is a moral imperative.
It is now more critical than ever for Christians across Europe to raise their voices and call upon their governments to stand firm in their support for Israel. The far-left agenda seeks to strip away the biblical values that have shaped European culture, but as believers, we are called to resist this tide and stand for truth.
