- Jewish People Of Israel And The Rest Of The World, Be Assured: Christian Identity Is A Danger To Jewish Survival. https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jewish-people-of-israel-and-the-rest-of-the-world-be-assured-christian-identity-is-a-danger-to-jewish-survival - Christians United For Israel (CUFI) is a Christian Zionist organization based in the United States that was founded in 2006 by Pastor John Hagee. The group aims to educate Christians about the importance of supporting the state of Israel and the Jewish people, and to mobilize Christians to advocate for Israel's security and survival. CUFI has been critical of anti-Semitism and has spoken out against those who seek to delegitimize Israel, including the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. CUFI has also been involved in various political efforts to support Israel, including lobbying Congress to cut off aid to the Palestinian Authority and to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital. The group has also been accused of promoting a theological view of Christian Zionism that emphasizes the importance of Israel's restoration as a means of fulfilling biblical prophecy and bringing about the second coming of Jesus Christ. CUFI has been the subject of criticism from some in the Jewish community and from other Christians who have accused the group of promoting a form of Christian supremacy and of ignoring the suffering of the Palestinian people. However, the group has maintained that its mission is to support Israel and the Jewish people, and to work towards a peaceful resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that recognizes the sovereignty and dignity of both sides.
