** The real terrorists

24 February 2023
------------------------------------------------------------


This week, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran published a sanctions list targeting individuals and organizations in Europe. This in response to sanctions imposed on the regime by the European Union. The Iranian list includes some 13 organizations that – according to the Iranian regime – incite ‘violence and terrorism’ against Iran. Christians for Israel is on the list, as are several other Jewish and pro-Israel organizations.

This comes at a time when Iranian-sponsored violence and terror against Israel is escalating. Iran’s proxy Hezbollah is training for rocket attacks on Israel from Lebanon. The Israeli army has been forced to intervene in Palestinian cities like Nablus and Jenin, where real Iranian-sponsored terror networks like Lions Den have become embedded, threatening Israeli lives on a daily basis.

Christians for Israel is proud to stand on the side of those who are fighting for freedom and justice.

Frank van Oordt, Executive Director Christians for Israel Netherlands: “If the dictatorial regime in Tehran considers Christians for Israel a threat, we are on the right side. It motivates us to continue witnessing to God’s love for His people.”

It is widely known that Iran takes every opportunity to use threatening rhetoric against Israel. This new list of sanctions fits that picture: Israel is seen as the enemy, and so are Israel’s friends.

Apart from the Iranian regime, various boycott movements and NGO’s worldwide speak out – especially on social media – against Christians for Israel. Rev. Cornelis Kant, Executive Director Christians for Israel International: “Our work is aimed at supporting Israel. We stand with the Jewish people. No sanctions list or boycott movement will be able to change that.”

Christians for Israel on sanctions list Iran
The consequences of listing Christians for Israel on the Iran sanctions list are that bank accounts and banking transactions in Iran would be blocked, and Christians for Israel employees would no longer be allowed to travel to Iran. The sanctions, however, have no impact on Christians for Israel, as the organization has no bank accounts, money or employees in Iran.

** SCRIPTURE FOR THE WEEK
------------------------------------------------------------


**
Psalm 3

------------------------------------------------------------

LORD, how many are my foes!
How many rise up against me!
^2 Many are saying of me,
“God will not deliver him.”
^3 But you, LORD, are a shield around me,
my glory, the One who lifts my head high.
^4 I call out to the LORD,
and He answers me from His holy mountain.
^5 I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.
^6 I will not fear though tens of thousands
assail me on every side.
^7 Arise, LORD!
Deliver me, my God!
Strike all my enemies on the jaw;
break the teeth of the wicked.
^8 From the LORD comes deliverance.
May Your blessing be on Your people.
