When Tucker platformed the Hitler-loving Fuentes, the president of the Heritage Foundation came out with a video. It was, to say the least, bizarre. Instead of condemning Tucker’s advancing of a holocaust denier, Kevin Roberts defended him in a short speech comprised of stunningly weak rationale.
What was the reaction to the Jews who are on the task force? Shock and well-placed anger. I know. I am on an email string with 140 of us.
The Zionist Organization of America has released a statement this morning regarding Heritage: Read Here.
What about the Christians? Same reaction.
Some Jewish organizations have left the task force. Others are giving Kevin Roberts until the end of the business day today (Monday) to retract his horrific statement. And even if he does, it might be “too little, too late.”
I write this email with:
1. The reality that I have just returned from Israel for the 28th time (my wife’s 79th), looking into the faces of the Jewish people in Israel telling them that we, Christian evangelicals, stand with Israel,
2. The knowledge that one so-called “conservative” after another has capitulated in their support of Israel,
3. The shocking awareness that the rapid rise of antisemitism could actually result in another holocaust unless more of us step up quickly and strongly defend the Jews.
Haven’t the Jews suffered enough? They are the most continuously tortured people group in human history. It must stop. Now.
