The literate Bible scholar knows that both the Old and New Testaments predict the re-establishment of Israel in its own ancient lands. Those who oppose Israel are also anti-God of Israel, and will be ultimately judged by that same God. The Bible predicts that apostacy will thrive in the last day, including apostate churches. We are living in the Last Days.

May I know who are the true Christians. Do you mean Christians who are not baptized. Jesus Christ was hated and still hated by the Jews. The Rabbis, during Jesus time, and their grand grand........children still hate Jesus and branded Him as a madman. Jews will never recognize Christianity and their followers but they do take their money. By the way Islam recognize Jesus (Issa) and Mary (Mariam) and they still believe Jesus was never crucified but ascended to heaven alive.
33. To No.25, Graczek
Gabe Yakmore ,   Canada   (07.03.11)
If Christianity supersedes Judaism, then Christianity is superseded by Islam. So, Graczek, you are a frigging Infidel then.
34. Who cares!
M.J. Ejenbaum ,   Petah Tikvah,Israel   (07.03.11)
Who cares what these idiots say? They worship a dead Jew, and some of them, like the Catholics, are idolators of the worst sort. Christianity could not exist without Judaism, whereas Judaism has absolutely no need for it. This is what makes them crazy, and why they hate us so much. They can talk about replacement theology until they are blue in the face. At the end, they are foolish enough to worship a dead Jew, who lived as one during his lifetime. Christianity is a joke as a religion as is Islam.
35. Yes, the Churches have self indulgent leftist loonies too.
John Phee ,   Sydney, AUSTRALIA   (07.03.11)
These Christian fools do not speak for Christians as a whole. Just like some of the radically lunatic rabbis do not speak for all Jews. It is not that simple. The Christians have their left wing loonies too. The left wingers of the world hat Jews & Israel. Yes even Jewish left wingers. There are Christians who support Israel right or wrong. There are Christians who support Israel but are critical of Israel when it is wrong. Many Christian Churches are led by non-Christians who not only hate Israel but also hate G-d. Just look at what they believe is acceptable. Yes they also hate G-d & his word contained in the Holy Books both old & new. Many of the Christians are led by anti-Christs.

And I believe that you are completely crazy.
37. WCC spirit died a long time ago
jena ,   n/a   (07.03.11)
It lives on liberal lies and filthy money, as all mobsters pay their tithes. This could explain all the christian groups who are independent. These people should think about all the israelis who have gave their lives defending the christian holy places in Israel before they hit the handle on the toilet on the Jewish people. G-d don't break his promise.
38. To 4 Rivka - Amein and Amein!
Sobieski ,   Germany   (07.03.11)
We are going to witness an increasing separation into two camps - so called Christians joining Hands with the Antichrist Ideology of Islam AND true Christians / Messianics/ Netzarim joining Israel because Yeshuah confirmed Judaism and NEVER abandoned his people. Apparently the time for separating the wheat from the tares grows close!

Kudos Dan, a pleasure reading your post.
40. Blood Libel, nice try
Leon ,   Ottawa, Canada   (07.03.11)
This nonsense is like the "new antisemitism." When someone analyses it: the new antisemitism=legitimate criticism of Israel. Churches are divested from companies that profit from the occupation because that is the moral thing to do. They are listening to the teachings of Jesus. I am not a religious person but I admire people who stand by there moral principles. Anyone decent, thinking person not blinded by ideology will reach the conclusion that Israel is an apartheid state and that the occupation of Palestine must end.
41. Christians and Israel
Russell ,   Manchester, UK   (07.03.11)
I think it is impossible to claim to be a Christian (as defined by the Bible) yet to be anti-Semitic. The people who attend these conferences probably belong to politically correct lobby groups who have no idea at all. I have many close Christian friends who have a love for Israel.
42. There is a difference
BB.C. ,   London   (07.03.11)
Between Torah observing Jews and the Psychopathic Zionist that run the State of Israel. The former await deliverance by the Messiah, While the latter think they are entitled to rule the world. The former will be rewarded for their faith in the not so distant future, While the latter will be destroyed from off the face of the Earth.

ROFL Gabe, good one.
44. Disgust
Dr.Meyer ,   Germany   (07.03.11)
These Christian Leaders betray the people they had to represent. The hate against Israel and Jews is stronger as the love to own people.. Nothing is to read or hear about the persecution of Christians in the Islamic World. These Leaders are ignoring the fact that the only place in the Middle East where the Christians full rights enjoy is Israel.
45. Churchs and anti semites
Armand Kidouchim ,   Calabasas, CA, USA   (07.04.11)
The amazing thing is that what gives non jews the right to make of a JEW ''our young Rabbi'' YEHOSHOUA / JESUS what he never wanted to be, he was born and died as a JEW in complete accordance to the Jewish faith. Leave your crappy theologies where they belong, leave our Rabbi victim of the romans rest in peace. These Churchs / Nitwitts have exhausted all their arguments and in this world of instant access to information are losing their credibilty. Their hate and the 2000 years of web of lies are shockingly facing exposure to the truth by a continuous stream of Archeological finds. And then there is modern times, and ''there is Israel and the jews'',...and then there is 27% of all Nobel prizes,...and then there are Invention after Invention all by Israelis and Jews,...and then there are technological breakthroughs in all aspects of human activities by Israelis and Jews,...and then there is a ''MIGHTY ISRAELI ARMY'' and the means to enforce the ''NEVER AGAIN''... Oh well! Since anti semites have tried very hard for 2000++++ years to exterminate the Jews; it is too much for them to see Jews succeed against all odds. To boycott jewish contribution to life you have to go back to the stone age. Just imagin if jews wanted to take revenge for 2000++ years of cruel injustices,....but No Jews believe and love life and they will DEFEND IT.
46. #42 Feh!!
jb ,   Canada   (07.04.11)
What a totally inane comment based on a profound stupidity and inability to reason. Your handle BBC is most appropriate. Unfortunately it will be England under the sway of the Muslims that will cleansed (probably in hellfire). The only psychopaths in the ME are Qaddafi, Assad, Nasrallah,, Meshal and the Muslim Brotherhood. To which group does a pathetic loser like you belong?
47. 1 u make of fool of urself
(07.04.11)
the headline reads: the churches against Israel NOT Churches are against Israel. It speaks to specific churches. Don't expect Israel loving Christians to fall for ur stupidity. We are not.
48. #12 Lisa, you bet your bippy II do deny
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (07.04.11)
49. 15 Rune, I endorse you.
Luiz F Haddad ,   Niteroi, Brazil   (07.04.11)
Dear brother from Norway. You are completely right. I am Christian and Roman Catholic, and, proudly, pro Israel and friend of the Jewish people. Those declarations from bad bishops and priests are erred and shameful. They don't represent our great majority. Pope Benedict XVI visited Israel and Arab Palestine, last year, and his words were much different and fair. A true Christian has never to be antisemitic. Jesus was a Jew, Mary was a Jew, Torah and Old Testament are the same. I salute you from far South America.
50. christians and israel
john orighoye ,   girona spain   (07.04.11)
the christians in this world are very very few catholics are no christians the white man ( the europeans ) wants to be god and as such they are doing every thing possible to demonize the jews.they don,t want israel neither do they want jerusalem to remain in israel. in the catholic churches they don,t read the bible they don.t even talk about JESUS CHIRST it is that they don;t mention this name. they talk about the pope, the saints, and then ask one virgen mary to pray for them. worshiping creation instead of the actual creator. they don.t read the bible neither do they mention the name J.C because if they do they will across israel and this they don,t want. their bible is very good. a kind of ancient bible with the apocriphas but they don,t read it because if they read it they would know that the jews owns the hand that obit the earth in space, that without the jews there would be no heaven there would be no earth and there would be no any religion on earth.CHRISTIANITY IS A JEWISH RELIGION. for there is one jew an israelite who come out of the tribe JUDA is made a priest not by zaccaria but by the very GOD OF ISRAEL to put an end to the deaths the israelites surfers as a result of the LAW.that some israelite didn,t acept him that is soley the business of the JEWS.it is the jews who took the christian Godspel to the gentiles. like the european they always take away that which belongs to others for them selves. but the JEWISH GOD is not a material property or an invention of human idiology they can not take it away from the jews afterall the idea of gentiles becoming Christians is to make them part of the jews. jews are saved through Promise christians are saved through Faith the two of them becomes one with one father the GOD OF ISRAEL no man can hate the jews and at the same time see the jewish GOD- it is totally imposible for some one to say i love JC but the JEWS i hate if any man says he hate the jews it is because JC is not in him. the jews can relax they have the true GOD even the LORD JESUS CHRIST the will overcome.4/6/11
51. A question? why dont' they bycott "Arab" or "islamic" states
Cowards?   (07.04.11)
Arab and Islamic states like Egypt and Iran are making the lives of their Christian population like hell but none of these churches bycott them? because they are as greedy as their European governments for Arab and Moslm oil. defending the right of real people who are really suffering needs courage and churches dont' do anything but spread hatred and venom against Jews and inciting people to joing their lynch mobs. only Satan is cotroling thoes who teach hatred and bloodshed?
52. WCC conference in Greece
Amram ,   Toronto, Canada   (07.04.11)
There is no mention of this conference anywhere else but this article, not even on the WCC website. Is this a hoax?
53. Take heart
joshua ,   gilbert az usa   (07.04.11)
Take heart Israel. Those who are true lovers of Christ support you. We are your friends and recognize you are the apple of God's eye. We pray for the peace of your holy city, Jerusalem. We are you brothers and sisters. God bless Israel!
54. Christians against Israel????
Jusanz77 ,   Vzla   (07.04.11)
Any person or authority of any church claiming to be Christian and denies "the Promised Land, the Chosen People, Israel was gathered from the nations of the earth to plant in the Promised Land of God." Is blind or ignorant who does not know the Tanakh or the New Testament. And he is more concerned to serve Satan and men to the God who claims to know. They are tied to their feet the anchor that will be released to his misfortune. One thing is a member of a church serving as a factor of peace and quite another to join the enemies of Israel and serve as a tool for those who want to erase from the earth. They can come together and plan all their wickedness against Israel, boycotts, divestment, political persecution. They are wasting time, working for free. Who picked it up from the ends of the earth will protect them for ever and ever.
55. To 34, Ejenbaum
Luiz F Haddad ,   Niteroi, Brazil   (07.04.11)
My brother. Don't confound the true Christians, like me and many others, with the bad, alienated and ignorant ones. They don't represent us. In fact, they are sinners. Judaism and Christianism are religions that come from the Unique God. Torah and Old Testament are the same. I am sure you consider Jesus was, at least, a good thinker. Don't hate us, friends of Israel, because of the refered minority. I salute you.
56. To 36, Birdi
Luiz F Haddad ,   Brazil   (07.04.11)
He is not crazy, my brother. I am a true Christian too, and I do endorse Israel. Those bad "members" do not represent us. On the contrary, I say: Shame on them. I salute you.

59. To No.52, Amram's hoax.
Gabe Yakmore ,   Canada   (07.04.11)
The WCC conference was held at the Volos Theological Academy from June 19 to June 23, 2011. The subject was; "The presence and witness of Christians in the Middle East."
60. And those are the facts. End this laser spotlight on Israel;
