Israeli-linked charity ads and the pro-Israel push into US churches and TPUSA

Sep 23, 2026

A fight is breaking out on the American right over foreign-funded pro-Israel messaging aimed at conservative Christians and young activists.

  • An Israel-based charity that sponsors Turning Point USA runs fundraising ads asking Americans to pay a set fee to "rescue" a poor elderly Jew and move them to Israel.
  • Critics say the group was helped into existence by AIPAC and is part of a coordinated campaign across small-town and rural America.
  • The same push shows up in churches, where pastors tell young congregants that Jews are better than they are.
  • Max Blumenthal describes being singled out and treated as "special" at Christians United for Israel events because of his last name.
  • The charge is that this is less genuine faith than a staged show built to lock in Christian political support for Israel.

Outlook: Expect more open conflict inside the conservative movement over Israeli influence on its youth groups and churches.
