CJUI-Vision
and Mission
"To
grow a multi-denominational,
grass-roots constituency of people who will provide factual information
about
Israel and its people to the community"
Christians
and Jews United for Israel was formed 4/06 at Temple
Emeth in Chestnut Hill Massachusetts by Jewish and Christian leaders
committed
to working together for peace and justice in the Middle East.
Confronting the
lies of the world wide anti-Israel community through education and
activism is
an essential ingredient in our partnership.
CJUI
is making a difference. We are defending Israel
against some of the most virulent anti-Israel groups. We are
demonstrating that
these groups are more easily defeated when confronted by both Christian
and
Jewish activists.
For example, in October of
2007, CJUI volunteers
demonstrated for two days against an anti-Israel conference outside the
Old
South Church in Boston, passing out hundreds of brochures which focused
on the
reality of human rights in the Middle East. It was our Christian and
Jewish
volunteers who educated the uninformed and misinformed about the nature
of
Israel, the democracy we know as a multi-cultural, humane and
peace-loving
society.
"The
Multicultural Face of Zionism" is the new way we
are projecting our message to the world through the use of the media.
It is a
direct response to those who use the words "racist" and
"apartheid" to describe Israel. The campaign is designed to take
control of language that is dominating world opinion; to show Jews that
they
are not alone; and to show the world that support of Israel is not
limited to
the Jewish community .
As
this message is being heard, more and more individuals and
organizations are recognizing that passivity in the face of assault
will lead
to a worsening situation. Led by their consciences and
biblical
convictions, both Christians and Jews are welcoming a first ever
opportunity to
embrace one another and share their common love for Israel in an active
way.
