CUFI Leaders Applaud White House for Order Combating Antisemitism
SAN ANTONIO – On Wednesday, the leadership of Christians United for Israel (CUFI), the nation’s largest pro-Israel organization, applauded President Trump for issuing an executive order reaffirming his adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism and instructing all departments and agencies to use the IHRA definition when enforcing civil rights law.
Today’s order additionally and importantly requires all departments and agencies to report within 60 days all civil and criminal authorities they can use to combat antisemitism.
CUFI testified before the House Judiciary Committee on this issue nearly a decade ago and has sought to advance the adoption of the IHRA definition at both the federal and state level.
“One cannot defeat that which they are unwilling to define. Through this executive order, President Trump has doubled down on his landmark 2019 policy adopting the IHRA definition and reiterated his administration will continue their zero tolerance for Jew hatred. Now more than ever, I along with CUFI’s 10 million members are very grateful to the President for his unequivocal stance on this vital issue,” said CUFI founder and Chairman Pastor John Hagee.
“Antisemitism isn’t just a Jewish problem. It’s everyone’s problem. Despite the arguments of some, which are as loud as they are inaccurate, this definition neither outlaws antisemitism nor is it anti-Christian—it merely provides those tasked with confronting antisemitism with a clear definition of the world’s oldest and most prevalent hatred. If you have a problem with the IHRA definition, then you are the problem,” said CUFI Action Fund Chairwoman Sandra Parker.
With more than 10 million members, Christians United for Israel is the largest pro-Israel organization in the United States and one of the leading Christian grassroots movements in the world. CUFI spans all fifty states and reaches millions with its educational message.
The CUFI Action Fund, a nonprofit 501(c)(4), nonpartisan organization, is the policy arm of the nation’s largest pro-Israel organization, Christians United for Israel (CUFI). The Action Fund is dedicated to ensuring our elected officials hear the perspective of the millions of Christian Zionists across the country.

CUFI Welcomes Alabama’s Update Holocaust Education Standards
SAN ANTONIO – On Thursday, Christians United for Israel (CUFI), the nation’s largest pro-Israel organization, issued the following statements welcoming the Alabama State Department of Education’s adoption of revised social studies standards which include among the most robust Holocaust education components in the country.
“Any failure to educate our children about the dangers of antisemitism, is tantamount to standing idly by as this scourge infects them. Proper education about world history is vital to ensuring a tolerant and righteous population. I commend the State of Alabama for their newly adopted Holocaust education standards; in Montgomery they are indeed fighting the good fight,” said CUFI founder and Chairman Pastor John Hagee.
“Across the country antisemitism has reached fever pitch, and the Alabama Department of Education has risen to the challenge by advancing these strong standards. We are deeply grateful to the State Board of Education and the numerous allies with whom we worked in the Jewish and Christian communities to see this through,” said CUFI Action Fund Chairwoman Sandra Parker.
CUFI, alongside a host of local leaders and organizations including the Alabama Holocaust Commission, the Alabama-Israel Task Force, the Jewish Community Relations Council of the Birmingham Jewish Federation, the Jewish Federation of Central Alabama and the Mobile Area Jewish Federation, have been working since 2021 to see Alabama’s Holocaust education standards enhanced, including working to secure unanimous support in the legislature for the same.
