The Biden Administration is home to many who despise the nation of Israel. As Christians, we must ensure that they do not harm God’s chosen people.

From Free Beacon. The Biden administration is offering nearly $1 million for groups to investigate alleged human rights abuses in Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip, an effort that will delegitimize Israel, according to sources who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon.

The State Department’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) is soliciting nonprofit groups to apply for grant money up to $987,654 to “strengthen accountability and human rights in Israel and the West Bank and Gaza,” according to a grant notice first posted online in mid-February.

Groups applying for the grant money will investigate alleged crimes inside Israel and these territories and “collect, archive, and maintain human rights documentation to support justice and accountability and civil society-led advocacy efforts, which may include documentation of legal or security sector violations and housing, land, and property rights,” according to the State Department.

Israel’s defenders on Capitol Hill expressed outrage over the program and said the Biden administration is helping fund international efforts to delegitimize Israel and boost the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement. The grant is also fueling concerns about the Biden administration’s relationship with Israel and its hiring of officials who have been critical of the Jewish state….

The Biden administration’s nominee to head the bureau offering the grant, Sarah Margon, has been stalled in the Senate for months due to her anti-Israel activism and statements….

The grant comes amid the Biden administration appointing multiple additional anti-Israel officials….

The anti-Israel grants are part of a broader policy inside the Biden administration that aims to elevate Palestinians and attack Israel, according to former U.S. officials and aides who spoke to the Free Beacon.

“It would be a waste of taxpayer dollars and morally blind of the State Department to spend this money in Israel,” said Bonnie Glick, former deputy administrator at USAID….

A senior Republican congressional aide who works on foreign policy matters and is familiar with the grant project accused the Biden administration of treating Israel as a “pariah” state.

“This is the kind of grant you give to build civil societies in autocratic and broken regimes, not for close democratic allies like Israel,” the aide told the Free Beacon. “The problem is that the Biden administration is filled with people who spent decades getting paid to try to make Israel into an international pariah. They failed, but now they’re using the State Department to try to do it….”

“For in their mouths there is nothing sincere, within them are calamities, their throats are open tombs, they flatter with their tongues. God, declare them guilty! Let them fall through their own intrigues, For their many crimes, throw them down; since they have rebelled against you. But let all who take refuge in you rejoice, let them forever shout for joy! Shelter them; and they will be glad, those who love your name. For you, Adonai, bless the righteous; you surround them with favor like a shield.”
