CUFI Leadership Sits Down with PragerU’s Marissa Streit

 

Sandra Hagee Parker: “The extreme right… have discovered what the extreme left did a decade ago, that the commodification of Jew hatred is big business, and it pays really well.”

 

SAN ANTONIO – The leadership of Christians United for Israel, the nation’s largest pro-Israel organization, is featured in the latest episode of Real Talk with Marissa Streit released online today.

 

During the hour-long episode, Streit sat down with CUFI founder and Chairman Pastor John Hagee and CUFI Action Chairwoman Sandra Hagee Parker and got their takes on a wide range of timely issues relating to America, Israel, and world events.

 

“God is the defender of Israel. The Bible says, “He that keepeth Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps.” That means the Eye of God is on Jerusalem day and night. And anyone that lifts their hand against the Jewish people, God himself will destroy. If the United States of America gets on the wrong side of Israel. This nation will suffer for it – severely,” Hagee said during the interview.

 

A top topic of deep concern for both CUFI and Streit has been the deluge of Jew-hatred that has spilled out across the United States.

 

“You cannot call yourself a Christian and also hate the Jewish people. You might be trying to use the label as a fig leaf to legitimize your hatred… but they are mutually exclusive. One cannot claim Christianity and also be antisemitic,” Parker said.

 

“The extreme right… have discovered what the extreme left did a decade ago, that the commodification of Jew hatred is big business, and it pays really well,” Parker noted.

 

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.

Pastor John Hagee Addresses Antisemitism in Right-Wing Circles in Remarks at the Embassy of Israel

WASHINGTON – Pastor John Hagee, founder and Chairman of Christians United for Israel (CUFI), the nation’s largest pro-Israel organization, delivered remarks this evening at the Jerusalem Post Conference hosted by the Embassy of Israel in Washington. According to his prepared remarks, Hagee directly confronted the growing presence of antisemitic rhetoric within segments of the American right and urged Christian leaders to clearly repudiate it.

In the speech, Hagee told attendees, “You cannot call yourself a Christian and hate the Jewish state or its people… Bible-believing Christians know that nothing prevails over the Word of God—not your politics, not your political party, not your favorite pundit.”

His remarks come as conservative politics faces internal strain over Israel, with recent reporting documenting the rise of right-wing voices distancing the movement from its historically strong support for the Jewish state and, in some cases, amplifying antisemitic or explicitly anti-Israel themes. Hagee’s comments stressed that Christian support for Israel is grounded in Scripture, citing Genesis 12:3 and Deuteronomy 7:6, and affirmed that “antisemitism is sin.”

“Like their predecessors, the modern enemies of Israel—be they in Congress, on college campuses, in our churches, or in the sands of Qatar— they will all come to know that there is no expiration date on God’s unambiguous warning: ‘Dare not touch My anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm’ (Psalm 105:15),” he said.

“Those in this country who have monetized Jew-hatred and are actively turning antisemitism into clicks and cash—they are both biblically ignorant and morally bankrupt,” Hagee added.

The Pastor also warned about foreign efforts to influence public debate on Israel, including Qatar’s extensive spending in American education, entertainment and media urging Christians to remain vigilant and to “stiffen our spines and vote out of office every antisemitic voice in Washington,” regardless of political affiliation.

“Tonight, we cannot ignore the demonic spirit of Jew-hatred that has become normalized in certain circles, on both the right and the left. This is not random. This is not a coincidence. What has happened in our nation is not organic activism; it is paid anarchy. Hello, Qatar, we see you,” Hagee thundered.

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.
