Ohio senator urges Christians to see Israel’s fight “as their own,” warning that without the Jewish state to guard the Holy Land, Christianity would be “wiped off the map.”
Christians around the world should support Israel against radical Islamic terror groups and their patron, Tehran, a US senator said, pushing back against recent comments by far-right populists denouncing Christian support for Israel.
On Wednesday, Bernie Moreno, Ohio’s Colombian-born senior US senator, addressed The Jerusalem Post Washington Conference in D.C., during which he said Christians in the US should “see Israel’s fight as their own” and urged that more be done to combat antisemitism.
Moreno warned that without Israel safeguarding the Holy Land, Christianity would be “wiped off the map.”
