ANALYSIS
In moments of crisis, our values are tested. In moments of war, our character is revealed. Since the unimaginable October 7 terror attack, Israel has faced one of the greatest challenges in its history. But amidst these dark days, we have seen light. From across the United States and around the world, people of faith, among them our Christian brothers and sisters, have reached out with prayers, support, and with a strength that cannot be shaken.
These months of war have tested not only Israel’s resilience but also revealed the depth of our friendships. Since October 7, more than $5 billion has been invested globally in Israel through Israel Bonds, with an increasing number of investments coming from the Christian community.
As President and CEO of Israel Bonds, I’ve had the privilege of traveling across America, meeting with Christian leaders who understand that their connection to Israel transcends the political. It is spiritual rooted in scripture, built on shared values, and lived out through action.

As the Prophet Isaiah wrote: “And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?’ Then I said, ‘Here am I. Send me.” (Isaiah 6:8) Written during a time of great upheaval, these words continue to echo across generations. They present each of us with a choice. I have witnessed the Christian community respond to these words with a resounding WE WILL: an undeniable expression that Israel is not alone.
Through prayer, advocacy, and investment, believers across America and around the world are standing shoulder to shoulder with the people of Israel. They understand that supporting Israel is not just a political stance or a passing trend. It is a spiritual commitment, renewed daily and made tangible through action.
Today, Israel is fighting a war for her right to exist. This is the moment to embody Isaiah 6:8 with clarity and determination. To recognize the difference between a democracy defending its citizens and terrorist countries and their proxies, who use their own civilians as human shields to carry out their mission of killing Israelis. To stand for life over terror, affirm truth over distortion, and protect the right of the Jewish people to live in peace and safety in their ancestral homeland.
One of the most tangible ways to put that conviction into action is by investing in Israel bonds.
Israel bonds are not donations. They are investments with strong rates and competitive returns. Every bond is backed by the full faith and credit of the State of Israel which has never defaulted on a single payment: building a legacy of trust and fiscal responsibility that continues to inspire confidence among investors worldwide. Each bond purchased is more than a financial decision. It is a declaration: We see you. We believe in you. And we will stand with you — not only when it’s easy, but when it’s hard.
In the partnership between Jews and Christians, between Israel and its allies, we find an unbreakable friendship. As King David wrote: “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: May those who love you be secure.” (Psalm 122:6) For both Christians and Jews, we are not called to sit on the sidelines and watch as others attempt to destroy what the Almighty has blessed. There is both power and promise in King David’s words for those who choose to listen. We are called to speak when others are silent, to act when others hesitate, and to build when others seek to destroy.
To those who have already stood with us, I say thank YOU. To those still searching for a way to act, I invite you to join us. Pray for Israel. Speak truth when others lie. And invest in Israel’s future through Israel Bonds to help keep the Holy Land strong.
