Abe
Foxman, director of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith,
recently mourned "religious intolerance at the Air Force
Academy." After Jewish activist Mikey Weinstein sued the academy
for alleged religious coercion, officials imposed stiff restrictions
prohibiting senior officers from witnessing and chaplains from using
the name of Christ in prayers. This violation of free speech provoked
major protest from Christian leaders such as Dr. Dobson, Pastor Ted
Haggard, and Rev. Donald Wildmon. Chastened, the academy returned to
its original position, allowing free speech to all airmen.
Deciphering ADL Doublespeak
To
Foxman, the Academy's return to free speech is a defeat for religious
tolerance. "Tolerance," to Jewish activists, means
disadvantaging Christianity and favoring those ideologies that oppose
Christianity.
"Tolerance"
at the Air Force Academy, says Foxman, means establishing
"meaningful guidelines that would serve as a much-needed model
not only for the Air Force but for all the branches of the
military."
Interpretation?
Foxman wants to prohibit Christians from witnessing in the entire U.S.
military and mentioning Jesus, except in a nonevangelistic way or as
profanity.
Judaism,
on the other hand, is under no such restrictions. "Tolerance"
means Jewish activism wins; Christianity loses.
Uniting Synagogue with State
ADL's
double standard definition of "tolerance" can be seen
through their whole social and legislative agenda. For example:
"Separation
of church and state" for ADL means prohibition of Christian
influence in government. Meanwhile, ADL/Zionist influence in
government is staggering. Through the American Israel Public Affairs
Committee (AIPAC) Zionists dictate Mid-East policy to Congress. 1 Through
a host of Jews in top administration positions, Zionism influences the
President. 2 Through the new Department of Global
Anti-Semitism in the U.S. State Department, ADL/B'nai B'rith defines
tens of millions of Bible-believing Christians as anti-Semites,
potential hate criminals. 3 Through its mandated control of
hate crimes education and statistics gathering for U.S. government and
police departments, ADL defines Christians as homophobes and haters. 4
Thus,
through deceptive and disarming phrases like "tolerance" and
"separation of church and state," Jewish activists
relentlessly seek to subvert and even persecute Christianity.
Going on the Offensive
The
recent spunk of national evangelical leaders to identify Jewish
activism as behind the war on Air Force free speech is an encouraging
sign. 5 Some Christians are beginning to perceive the
religious identity of those who have been subverting Christian
civilization for at least the past century. But will Christians and
their leaders have enough moral courage and concern for Christ's honor
to go on the offensive? This would mean they must identify their
assailants as largely Jewish. Also, they must educate laity concerning
why Jewish activism is so opposed to Christianity.
Jewish
activists have a focused, long-range strategy to diminish Christian
influence. Christian leaders, for the most part, only respond
momentarily and are happy to postpone the war once the skirmish is
over. The perennial pattern is that Jewish activists initiate;
Christians respond.
But
as the British military says, "He who dares wins." Advantage
belongs to the adversary who sets the terms of controversy, not the
one who only responds.
Victories for Evangelicals
In
the last three months, by God's grace, evangelicals have helped win
three major victories: 1) defeat of ADL's federal hate bill, 2)
cancellation of NBC's Book of Daniel, 3) reestablishment of free
speech at the Air Force Academy. These were dramatic victories over
Jewish civil liberties organizations in their determination to weaken
Christianity. Each of these victories was assisted by the willingness
of a minority of Christians and conservatives to publicly identify
their assailants as Jewish. This pressured Jewish activists to back
off. If they didn't back off, an increasingly resentful
evangelical leadership threatened to revolt with even more
denunciation of Jews in high places.
Engaging for Battle
In
the months ahead many more assaults against Christianity will be
launched by a focused and religiously zealous foe. The challenge
before Christians is to initiate rather than merely react.
How
do Christians muster such courage? Simple. Follow Jesus. He could
not have been more specific and unsparing in His denunciation of evil
Jewish leadership. We face the same enemy today.
