Israel is quietly waging a critical information campaign, and this week Jerusalem hosted a targeted effort to push back against the lies that have flooded Western newsrooms since October 7, 2023. Christian journalists from around the world were invited to see Israel up close, hear from local leaders, and arm themselves with facts so they can tell the truth to their audiences back home. This is the kind of commonsense, faith-driven public diplomacy that conservatives and patriots should applaud.
The summit, organized by Israel’s Government Press Office in partnership with the Foreign Ministry and Christian organizations, brought visiting media to Jerusalem and to sensitive frontline areas to provide on-the-ground perspective that cable panels and talking heads simply do not offer. The event program shows a packed schedule of briefings, tours in Judea and Samaria, and meetings with senior Israeli officials designed to correct the record and build durable relationships. There is a real, strategic value in getting journalists out of hotel conference rooms and into the places where Israel’s security calculations are made.
Israeli hosts made clear the purpose was not PR fluff but a hard-nosed effort to blunt a coordinated information offensive against the Jewish state. GPO leaders and veteran local reporters praised the summit as a bridge of solidarity and a chance to show the resilience of Israel’s people while explaining the military and moral necessity of certain security measures. American and international Christian media are not neutral bystanders here; they are allies in the fight to restore truth to public debate.
Delegates toured the Samaria region and other strategic points to see for themselves why control of the high ground matters for national defense, an argument too often dismissed by distant pundits. Local officials like Yossi Dagan walked visitors through the geography so journalists could better understand how close population centers sit to hostile territory and why retreating from those positions invites danger. That kind of sober, on-the-ground context is the remedy for lazy narratives that treat Israel’s security needs as optional when they are existential.
Americans should feel vindicated that the conservative and Christian press is taking this seriously. For too long, much of the mainstream media has accepted talking points that downplay Islamist terror and overemphasize Israeli culpability, but grassroots and faith-based outlets are pushing back with facts and moral clarity. This summit is exactly the kind of initiative that helps conservative voices translate principle into responsible reporting rather than remaining on the defensive.
The guest list and speakers made the summit’s character unmistakable: leading Christian media figures, faith leaders, and Israeli officials were on the program, reinforcing that this is an alliance of conscience, not convenience. High-profile participants included prominent religious broadcasters, heads of Christian organizations that support Israel, and senior GPO and government officials who wanted to make sure attendees left equipped to expose falsehoods. That partnership should encourage conservatives to double down on supporting reliable, faith-oriented journalism.
This gathering also serves as a wake-up call to everyday Americans: information is a battlefield where truth can lose if patriots do not show up. If conservative and Christian outlets amplify the realities witnessed in Jerusalem and Judea, they can help inoculate their communities against hostile narratives that would normalize the delegitimization of a democracy that protects religious minorities. Standing with Israel is not a matter of blind loyalty; it is a defense of civilization and free speech against forces that would silence inconvenient facts.
Patriots and churchgoers who cherish freedom should take heart that friendly nations and like-minded media are organizing to push back. Support for this work matters—donate to trustworthy outlets, follow reporters who do the hard reporting, and demand accountability from the networks that too often recycle propaganda. The fight for truth is ongoing, and conservative Americans should be proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with friends in Israel until the lies stop having power over public opinion.
