A Heartfelt Salute to Israel’s Allies Beyond the Jewish World
In a world often muddied by misinformation and hostility, the steadfast support of allies beyond the Jewish world has shone as a beacon of hope. From faith communities and grassroots movements to individuals of conviction, these voices have stood with Israel and the Jewish diaspora, countering falsehoods and offering solidarity in our darkest hours. Their contributions deserve not just gratitude but profound recognition.
This solidarity, which crosses religious and cultural boundaries, is a testament to the enduring power of truth and shared values. It reminds us that Israel’s fight for freedom and dignity resonates far beyond its borders, inspiring all who hold justice dear.
Among the most remarkable aspects of this solidarity has been the growing chorus of support from Muslim individuals and groups. Within the framework of the Abraham Accords, nations such as the UAE, Bahrain, and Morocco have forged unprecedented ties with Israel, championing dialogue and cooperation over division. This historic shift has inspired countless others to challenge entrenched narratives and advocate for peace and mutual understanding.
Beyond the Accords, individual Muslim voices around the world have courageously spoken out for Israel and its right to exist in peace and security. These individuals, often risking censure or worse, remind us that coexistence is not just a dream but a moral imperative. Their support reflects a powerful repudiation of hate and a belief in the shared humanity that binds us all.
Christian communities have long been among Israel’s most stalwart allies. Motivated by a deep connection to the land of Israel and its biblical heritage, many churches have offered unwavering support through prayer, advocacy, and outreach. In moments of crisis, their solidarity has provided strength and comfort, reinforcing the bonds of friendship between Christians and Jews.
This support is not confined to words but manifests in meaningful actions—from amplifying Israel’s voice in global forums to fostering interfaith initiatives that promote understanding and unity.
Grassroots organisations and advocacy groups have also played an indispensable role in defending Israel and Jewish communities. These groups work tirelessly to counter disinformation, engage in informed dialogue, and champion fair representation.
Their efforts extend from university campuses, where they challenge anti-Israel bias, to local communities, where they build bridges and promote understanding. These allies, often working quietly behind the scenes, have become the backbone of a global movement for truth and justice.
Perhaps most movingly, in Israel’s darkest hours, when terror strikes and the world seems to turn away, these allies have offered more than just words. They have stood in solidarity, providing comfort and practical support. Their actions have shown that Israel does not face its struggles alone, but with the strength of countless voices from every corner of the globe.
This outpouring of solidarity reminds us of the power of shared humanity—the recognition that an attack on Israel’s security and dignity is an affront to the principles that underpin all free societies.
These allies have also extended their solidarity to Jewish communities worldwide, standing firm against the rise of antisemitism. They have called out the conflation of Jews with Israel, rejecting the notion that legitimate self-defence can be distorted into a pretext for hate. Their courage and conviction are a reminder that the fight against bigotry is not the responsibility of one community alone but of all who value decency and justice.
At We Believe in Israel (WBII), we are profoundly moved by the support of these allies. They are not just supporters—they are partners in a mission to defend truth, uphold justice, and protect the values that unite us.
In a world where untruths spread faster than facts, and hostility often masquerades as activism, these voices of solidarity provide hope and strength. Their commitment to Israel and the Jewish diaspora underscores the universality of our shared struggle for freedom and human dignity.
Israel’s success and survival are not merely matters of Jewish pride; they are causes for anyone who values democracy, innovation, and resilience. The bonds forged with Christian communities, Muslim allies, and countless others are proof that the fight for justice is far from isolated. It is a shared endeavour that transcends borders and faiths, united by a belief in what is right.
To all who have stood with us—within the Abraham Accords framework and beyond, from interfaith leaders to grassroots advocates—we say thank you. Your solidarity is a light in dark times, a testament to the power of truth and the enduring strength of shared values. Together, we will continue to stand for Israel, for justice, and for a future where all people can live in dignity and peace.
