by Dr. Michael D. Evans
For months, the headlines have told us that the younger generation is turning against Israel. We have watched images of campus protests, heard the chants of hostility, and been told repeatedly that the next generation has abandoned the Jewish people. But on October 7, something extraordinary happened. Something the headlines could not ignore. Something that
A partnership guided by God: Why Trump decided to endorse Netanyahu in Israel’s elections – opinion
by Dr. Michael D. Evans
When President Donald Trump endorsed Benjamin Netanyahu for reelection as prime minister of Israel, many voices urged him not to do it. But I believe I know why Trump made that decision.

Munich: The massacre the world must never forget – opinion
by Dr. Michael D. Evans
A day the world watched September 5, 1972, should have been a day celebrating the Olympic ideal. Instead, it became one of the darkest days in the history of international sports and one of the most infamous terrorist attacks against Israelis. Members of the Palestinian terrorist organization Black September infiltrated the Olympic Village, attacked the
Trump chose national security over political safety in confronting Iran
by Dr. Michael D. Evans
There are moments when a president must choose between what is politically safe and what he believes is right for the security of his nation. Donald Trump has faced that moment with Iran, and I believe Americans should recognize the courage it required. For nearly half a century, Iran has threatened the US and Israel, sponsored terrorism,

by Dr. Michael D. Evans
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with Evangelical leaders at Blair House in a meeting I hosted. During that meeting, he made a profound statement: “The attack on antisemitism is similar to the attack on Evangelicalism.” This was an incredibly insightful revelation. It describes actions and attitudes that oppose both Jews and Christians. The attacks on
Christian Zionists believe the West Bank is Bible land
by Dr. Michael D. Evans
I will never forget sitting with Mother Teresa. During our conversation, she shared a truth that has stayed with me for decades. She said, “You cannot love Jesus without loving the Jewish people, because Jesus was Jewish.” Those words were not political. They were biblical. They reflected an understanding that Christianity did not replace Judaism.
Lindsey Graham: A voice of moral clarity falls silent – opinion
by Dr. Michael D. Evans
America has lost one of the greatest pro-Israel political leaders in its history. Senator Lindsey Graham was more than a statesman. He was a man of unwavering conviction, uncompromising moral clarity, and extraordinary courage.

Revenge: The word that echoed across Tehran – opinion
by Dr. Michael D. Evans
There was one word that echoed across Tehran during the funeral of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. It was not peace. It was not unity. It was not reconciliation. It was revenge. As hundreds of thousands filled the streets, the chants rolled like thunder: “Revenge! Revenge! Death to America! Death to Israel!” Waving above the crowd were blood-red
