Israeli President Thanks Evangelical Christians for Support of Israel
(Jerusalem Post) Jeremy Sharon - Israeli President Reuven Rivlin addressed the 35th annual Feast of Tabernacles event in Jerusalem on Monday and thanked the 5,000 Christian visitors from 80 countries for their support of the Jewish state. "Thank you for your friendship. Thank you for your dedication. Thank you for your consistent trust and support," he said at the event organized by the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem. World Jewish Congress President Ronald Lauder told the group that the international community is ignoring the plight of Christians in the Middle East. "We as Jews know how important it is to speak out. In the 1930s in Germany when Jews were deprived of their rights and persecuted the world was silent. We know what happens when the world is silent, so today we are standing up and speaking out," Lauder said.
