He first became prime minister in 1996 for three years and returned in 2009 to dominate the country’s political life eve

Christopher Kuehl described antisemitism as a chameleon, always accusing the Jewish people of being whatever society most fears, to create a scapegoat for deeper social frustrations and anxieties. Noting the prevailing Christian silence am

Published on: 10.9.2026 Press Statement The International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ) strongly condemns the emerging policy trend among European and other Western nations to impose discriminatory sanctions singling out Jews and Jewish communities for residing in their ancient heartland of Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria and the Golan. It is extremely troubling to see European nations waging economic warfare against Jews living in Judea and Samaria, the Golan and even Jeru

The Boycott, Sanctions and Divestment (BDS) movement is spearheading a concerted effort by Western pro-Palestinian activists, radical unionists, neo-Marxist groups, and major Christian denominations to combat perceived U.S. political bias toward Israel.

Yet this progress is now under pressure. Anti-Semitism, long described as a mutating virus, has resurfaced in new forms across politics, the media, and even the church. These new expressions are rooted in old patterns that have continua
