As Christians, we value truth. We don’t follow God’s Word simply because it gives us the “warm and fuzzies” or makes us “feel good.” We do so because it is the source of the greatest Truth. Pursuit of truth should be woven into the DNA of practicing and faithful Christians.

That’s why, for much of the modern era, Christians have largely identified as “conservatives,” a political philosophy that values history, real science, and data. Conservatism has long reviled socialism – because history tells us it will never work. We stand for life and against boys in girls sports – because real science tells us that life begins at conception and that a boy can never become a girl. And, we support less taxes, less regulation, and pro-business policies because data tells us that these pillars of capitalism lead to economic flourishing for the greatest number of people.

These principles don’t shift. History remains the same as does real science. The phrase Ben Shapiro made famous, “facts don’t care about your feelings,” resonates with conservatives. It doesn’t mean that we cannot be compassionate, but it does mean we value truth and timeless principles over feelings, emotion, shifting winds, and rhetoric.

And, this is why Frontline consistently rejects “populism.” While “populism” will occasionally intersect with and share our values, it always shifts. Because we root ourselves in God’s Word – in Truth – we shall never be an organization that shifts with the wind.

Why does this matter?

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

For much of my life, I have taken it for granted that Americans rightly reviled the Holocaust, recognized Adolf Hitler and the Nazis as among the most evil to ever walk
the planet, and rejected antisemitism. In 2026 America, however, that is not the case.

It’s easy to point at the American Left and see the rise of antisemitism. Their pillar institutions – the media and academia – have fueled hostility toward the Jewish people
and the nation of Israel while also creating a bizarre admiration and appreciation for terrorists and murderers that seek the death of both Israel and America. (Nothing is
more twisted than the “alliance” of America’s LGBTQ+ movement and the Pro-Palestine movement – which, if successful, would kill those who identify as such.)

It’s ironic that we might very well have (though still unlikely) President Kamala Harris today if not for the antisemitism so deeply rooted in her campaign and her Party that led
her to reject her most viable potential running mate, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro.

Yet, antisemitism exists on the Right today too. And, we must be vigilant in calling it to account.

Fueled by the increasing shift from “timeless conservatism” to “click bait populism” a certain segment of the “Right” (I think it’s important to put “Right” in quotation marks
as I do not identify these people real conservatives) has embraced antisemitism and a hatred of Israel. Voices like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Nick Fuentes have – to varying degrees – captured attention and – to varying degrees – sought to blame modern problems on the Jews and the people of Israel.

History matters.

Days of Remembrance, like today, are important because history often repeats itself. Many of the same tropes and rhetoric that fueled the Holocaust are becoming more popular, specifically in online circles, today.

If we truly do value history, as conservatives should…

And, if we truly do value Truth, as Christians should…

We should have no problem distancing ourselves from and speaking out against those who seek to infiltrate “the camp” and stoke racism.

Christians can disagree, but there should be consensus positions.

Among believers, the topic of Israel can quickly shift into a theological one. That’s a fine and fair debate. Good, noble, and highly intelligent followers of Christ can disagree over
what God’s Word says or doesn’t say about the present and future role of the nation of Israel and its people.

Likewise, there is room for debate among political conservatives over degrees of support for Israel and how that should affect public policy.

(For further reading, I encourage our audience to read Jay Richards’ article found here: What Is Zionism? What Is Christian Zionism? )

However, Christians should have consensus that the Holocaust is a real and terrible event, racism in any form cannot be tolerated and, as such, antisemitism in all forms should be rejected, the nation of Israel has a legal and actual “right to exist,” and that there is not moral equivalence with Israel’s right to defend itself and the barbaric actions of terrorist thugs who aggressively kill innocent civilians.

On this Holocaust Remembrance Day, let us hold up the mirror, look at our own “side,” and reject those voices that lend credence to the hatred of the Jewish people and
America’s ally, Israel. Let’s love our neighbor well, reject racism, learn from history, and ensure that such evil never, ever repeats itself.

God Bless,

Cole
