Now, when I hear that Christians are getting together in order to defend the people of Israel, of course it brings joy to my heart. And it simply says, look, people have learned from history.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My theology is such that the God who loves Israel and will not forsake Israel - which is why I want to see Israel have a secure nation with secure borders - also loves the Palestinians.
Israel has a right to defend itself.
I feel that the Christian experience and the Jewish one have much to give each other. If this open society continues and there is no return to political anti-Semitism, then this encounter, deeper than any theology, may happen.
Jews have long experience with Christians who have tried to help us in putting our Judaism behind us.
From the day I started to think politically and to develop my own moral values, from my earliest youth, I have been an ardent defender of Israel.
The great question of our day is whether we, the Jewish people of Israel, can find within us the will to survive as a nation.
Israel has created a new image of the Jew in the world - the image of a working and an intellectual people, of a people that can fight with heroism.
There's a picture there that people realize that, we stop helping Israel, we lose God's hand, and we're in big time trouble.
I think it suffices to say that Israel has the right to defend itself.
This type of gathering is unprecedented. The time has come for Christians to publicly affirm our Jewish roots, distinctions and oneness in Jesus Christ.
