It looks like the deployment of U.S. military forces to the Middle East, supposedly to prevent a wider war, is really designed to prevent Israel from winning the war. Meanwhile, the anti-Semitism that is on the rise has now spawned a strain of anti-Christian bigotry directed against the new House Speaker, Rep. Mike Johnson, who is pro-Israel and passed a bill with emergency aid for the Jewish state.

Johnson’s “sin” is that he is a Christian who believes in the Bible.

Every day brings another story attacking Johnson’s Christian faith.

When one talks about the “Judeo-Christian traditions” of this nation, one inevitably must consider the influence of the Bible on the American nation. Johnson’s rise to the position of Speaker of the House is a dramatic indication that an invisible hand may be playing a role in national and world events.

As I am not a Bible prophecy expert and do not know how these events fit into the Biblical version of the “End Times,” we can certainly understand the stakes by naming those determined to undermine the United States and its historical allies.

On the one side, we have Biden’s director of strategic communications for the National Security Council, retired U.S. Navy Rear Admiral John Kirby, who has been busy trying to differentiate a proposed “pause” in Israeli military operations from a “ceasefire.” He is a living example of why Senator Tommy Tuberville’s hold on military nominations is valid and worthwhile. If any of these people waiting for high-ranking appointments are of the moral caliber as Kirby, those positions are better left vacant.

Kirby is now paid to defend the Pentagon policy of paying for the travel of Pentagon personnel in violation of federal law for abortions. This crowd believes in the “sacrament” of abortion, which makes some sense considering that the extermination of the unborn is consistent with the failure of the military services to recruit enough people to serve the nation. Without people, the military cannot defend the nation. Without babies, the family as an institution will collapse.

It is apparent that Kirby rose in the military ranks because he lacks moral character. People of this caliber cannot be counted on to save Israel – or America.

Even more importantly, when the Pentagon promotes abortion to such an illegal extent, you must wonder if our nation is worth saving, and whether the U.S. military can save it.

As patriots based in the Judeo-Christian tradition, of course, we know the nation is worth saving but we have to know that the Pentagon, under current leadership, cannot save it. And it cannot save Israel either. This is why the double-talk about a “pause” versus “ceasefire” in the Middle East is more of the same from this administration. Their official position is that, even if Israel wins the war against Hamas, it must agree to a “two-state solution” of Israel sitting next to a so-called “Palestinian state.” This is national suicide for Israel, considering that such a state would be openly backed by Russia, China, and Iran.

As Joe Biden’s Middle East policy is being exposed as morally bankrupt, there are leaks to the media that Biden wants Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to leave office. He understands what is at stake and has rejected rejecting Biden’s plea for a “pause” in military operations.

Netanyahu watches as Vice President Kamala Harris announces a task force investigating “Islamophobia” while attacks on Jews and Christians accelerate.

As Speaker Johnson seeks Divine guidance in the Congressional Prayer Room, near his new office, in the tradition of General and President George Washington, Johnson quite literally holds the fate of the United States in his hands.

The fate of the world lies in the hands of Israel, too.

Although I noted in a column more than two years ago, Netanyahu is too knowledgeable about the roots of international terrorism not to grasp that Israel’s real enemies are in Moscow and Beijing and that Washington under Biden/Harris has emerged as another adversary.

Our book Red Jihad,  published back in 2016, cited substantial evidence of Russian involvement with the Jihadists targeting Europe, the United States, and Israel.

Netanyahu understands that one of Russian President Putin’s key advisers, Alexander Dugin, has explained that a “strategic alliance” exists between Iran and Russia, and that Russia supports Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons.

With that knowledge in hand, Netanyahu must understand that Israel’s fate is tied to the survival of Ukraine and its ability to resist the Russian invasion. Israel will not be free and independent until Ukraine achieves the same outcome.

Here at home, some people are waking up. A few wealthy businessmen who have poured billions of dollars into the Marxist Madrassas known as colleges and universities are realizing that the anti-Semitic and anti-Israel protests are based on the campuses and are threatening the lives of Jewish students.

On Thursday night, NBC Nightly News aired a story on “Rising Tensions on Campus.” What NBC did not highlight was the fact that the demonstrators carried a banner, “From the River to the Sea: Palestine Will Be Free,” advocating the extermination of the Jews in Israel, and that the banner was sponsored by the Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO), an openly Marxist-Leninist group.

The FRSO is not a typical liberal campus group.“The Palestinian resistance is dealing a heavy blow to the Israeli apartheid state,” says the FRSO. “The decades of oppression, humiliation and callous cruelty by the occupiers of Palestine are being answered in the only language oppressors truly understand.”

Such rhetoric is a justification for mass murder.

In truth, the communists are behind most of the anti-Israel protests. We have documented dozens of such groups active on college campuses and in American society. They operate openly, including broadcasts in honor of the Communist Manifesto on YouTube, because the FBI does not pay attention to them. Instead, the FBI monitors Catholic and pro-life groups.

Their Mein Kamph is the Communist Manifesto. Their operations are also driven by the influence of the Russian forgery, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. It helped instigate the First Holocaust and helps explain why anti-Semitism is today at the heart of the worldwide communist terrorist movement and even cited in the charter of the Iran-backed Hamas movement.

Not surprisingly, leaders of Hamas and Iran have been meeting in Moscow to plot their next moves. They are counting on the Bdien Administration to betray Israel and for Israel’s leaders to capitulate.
