To our Jewish friends, you are not alone.
Today, we joined hundreds of Christians to stand with our Jewish friends outside of #ColumbiaUniversity, speaking out against the antisemitism spreading across our campuses.
We will continue to stand with our Jewish brothers and sisters because we share the values that underpin our civilization.
“All of us will stand with Israel and the Jewish people because that is what Christians do.”
We are at #ColumbiaUniversity University to stand with Israel & the Jewish community as Christians in light of the antisemitic demonstrations taking place on campuses across the U.S.
Westerns claiming to support human rights are waving Hezbollah flags at marches.
Yet Hezbollah is an Iranian-backed terrorist group controlling #Lebanon & oppressing its Christian minority.
Philos' @MaryamYounnes explains what Hezbollah is doing to Southern Lebanon: ⬇️
Armenian Christians are under existential threat from #Azerbaijan.
Philos brought a VIP delegation on a fact-finding trip to #Armenia in June to better advocate for Armenians' security in their ancestral homeland.
Now, we are rallying American support in Congress and beyond.
Is the #Armenian Genocide really over?
Türkiye still denies the Genocide & Azerbaijan is besieging 120,000 Armenians in #NagornoKarabakh.
As Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day approaches, we call for recognition & restoration between Armenians & their Turkic-Azeri neighbors.
@jordanbpeterson We believe this is happening because the West has lost its Judeo-Christian foundation. We are creating a movement of Western Christians to support Israel and the Jewish people to restore those values.
Why are many Lebanese and Syrians celebrating the elimination of Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan #Nasrallah?
@MaryamYounnes, a Lebanese Christian living in Israel, explains how Hezbollah has terrorized the region for decades.
Why is #Armenia important for American Christians?
➡️ It is where Noah's ark landed after the flood & the first Christian nation.
➡️ American Christians worked to save #Armenian refugees & orphans during the Armenian Genocide.
Watch as @rwnicholson_ elaborates below.
Where is Mount Ararat, the location of Noah's Ark?
Historically, Mount Ararat was located in the former Armenian Highlands.
Below is the view of the mountain and Khor Virap, an Armenian monastery located in the Ararat Plain in Armenia.
We continue to pray for peace in Artsakh.
