I am Egyptian born in Egypt my father and grandfather and great grandfather was all Egyptian as soon as I came to America and I started learning about Christianity I started studying the Bible and miraculously I fell in love with with Israel with all the Jewish people and I consider them my brothers and sisters and I became advocate for the great nation and I became pro-Israel. When October 7 happened I decided to join the IDF …… the rest is classified. And there’s millions and millions of us around the world. 🌎❤️🇮🇱

I’m a 50 year old veterinarian raised catholic in Mexico and living and practicing in the USA for over 20 years. I have the highest respect and admiration for all jewish people, their history and life’s philosophy. I use it now as my own creed for life. Thank you so much!!!

Hi i am from Iran i like jews they are kind people i think they have right to have a country for themselves

[yehuditcollins]

Thank you. I'm an 88 year old formerly British Israeli. Today after hearing and reading the news, i bega to feel depressed by all the hate that i felt swirling around, all my life. By accident i found this, just as i needed it the most. Am Israel Chai.

This Irish Christian loves and admires the Jewish people and I'm not the only one ❤

[James-icvx]

I’m not Jewish or religious in any way, and never gave the issue of antisemitism much thought until seeing antisemitism everywhere after October 7th. I’ll always stand with the Jewish people now. What happened that day was pure primordial evil.

I am a Christian who is obsessed with news of what's happening in Israel. I have 6 Israeli friendly, YouTube sites I monitor every night. I have a strong, unshakable love for Israel. I am absolutely stunned as to why so many people hate Israel. You have the most moral military on the planet. I pray for you multiple times a day.

I thank my parents for always showing all people love and respect to everyone. That's where it starts

I'm a Christian and I love the Jewish people.. I stand with Israel

[susankoech]

Deep love for the Jewish people. Praying for the peace of Jerusalem. Shalom

[annmurphy]

I, like many commentators, am a Christian, but I feel fortunate to say I have wonderful Jewish friends. Strong and smart, intelligent and kind, I love them deeply. I have never understood the shameful antisemitism, and all who practice it should be embarrassed to walk the streets. May God create change in their hearts, and comfort the Jews.

[BonneyMoodley]

I am a South African of Indian descent and absolutely love the Jewish people.
I pray for Israel every day.
Truly God's chosen people.

Not all non-Jews hate Jews. I have always loved Jews, loved the state of Israel, loved Jewish history, loved Jewish bible ❤

[Doggle]

I am not Jewish. I have never understood antisemitism. I haven't known many Jewish people in my time, but the ones I have known have been decent, law-abiding, working, tax-paying family people. I haven't seen anything about them that should inspire hatred. They are just like us, except they have a different religion. When it comes to Gaza, after what happened in October last year, I think the West should stand with Israel.

[infoinfo-gjup]

As Jew who experienced antisemitism in different continents first hand , and could never comprehend it . I find the kindness of strangers a reason to help me breathe in times where it is so difficult !

[eugenestandingbear]

I would not be alive today if not for Jewish people. I love and will forever respect their charity and humanity. May all that is good be always with them I pray.❤

[chrissy]

Spend 3 years in Israel in the 80s. I’m not Jewish but the people are forever in my ❤ My thoughts are with my Israeli/jewish friends of whom some live now in Sydney and we see antisemitism rising and the pro-Palestine/ant-Israel demonstrations.I see the biased news here in the Netherlands and its frustrating that it is almost impossible to explain the conflict. I will forever stand for Israel and I can only hope the world will recognize evil when it’s standing right in front of their faces. And I can’t wait to visit my old village Haruzim again 💙🤍stay strong Israel! עם ישראל חי
