Published on: 19.9.2025 Throughout Israel’s long two-year war with Hamas, accusations of “genocide” have been loosely tossed at Israel from many sources, including United Nations officials and prominent world leaders. One recent example was the resolution of the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS), which turned out to be a shameful, secretive attempt by a small clique of antisemites within the organisation to dupe the world on false academic pretences. This

Published on: 17.9.2025 This year marks 1700 years since the Council of Nicaea — a defining moment in Church history. While its theological achievements are often celebrated, Nicaea also marked the beginning of a systemic detachment from Christianity’s Jewish roots.  This summer, the ICEJ has held a special 100-day observance of prayer and teachings on Nicaea’s positive impact and its misstep towards the Jews. The four transcribed excerpts below offer key insights from the we

Published on: 1.10.2025 Dr Jürgen Bühler, ICEJ President As we approach  Yom Kippur , the biblical Day of Atonement, the streets of Jerusalem will soon fall silent.

The great Jewish philosopher Michael Wyschogrod taught that the number one image for God in the Hebrew Bible is God as King. The same thing, you could say, is in the teachings of Jesus, that the Kingdom of God is absolutely paramount. The favorite teaching method of Jesus was with parables, and the number one theme of these parables was the Kingdom of God. Both Prote

Published on: 21.8.2025 By Nativia Bühler Throughout Israel, Jews and Arabs work side-by-side in medical clinics dedicated to healing wounds caused by war while also maintaining societal harmony. Every day, these Israeli doctors and nurses treat patients while facing their own family and community struggles. In this fragile setting, unity within the medical teams is not just important – it is essential. Inside these culturally mixed teams, everyone must contribute to unity an

Published on: 25.8.2025 By Nativia Bühler The ICEJ is humbled to stand with some of Israel’s most vulnerable children in the aftermath of Iran’s recent missile barrages, particularly the children at ALEH Care Center in Bnei Brak whose lives depend on constant care, medical support, and stability. These are children with severe physical and cognitive disabilities. Many cannot speak. Some must be fed through tubes or rely on machines to breathe. Most spend their days in wheelch

Published on: 5.9.2025 By David R. Parsons, ICEJ Senior Vice President & Spokesman There are growing frustrations on all sides over the length of the war in Gaza, but especially in Israel. After nearly two years of intense urban combat, the IDF is still stuck in a slow, grinding battle with Hamas that is now running into the law of diminishing returns. For instance: With only 20 live Israeli hostages now left in Gaza, there could very likely be a higher number IDF soldiers ki
