Ali Nasri, an Iranian strategist, argued that the Christian community holds significant potential to challenge Israel’s excesses.
He outlined his arguments in his Telegram Channel as follows:
1/ At the Qatar emergency summit, Muslim states debated sweeping measures vs. Israel. But beyond sanctions, law, and security steps — there’s an overlooked opportunity: reaching out to disillusioned Western Christian conservatives.
2/ Many Christian conservatives are rethinking unconditional support for Israel. Gaza’s devastation, moral contradictions & the silencing of dissenting voices have shaken old certainties.
3/ #CharlieKirk’s assassination – of a conservative who began questioning pro-Israel orthodoxy – became a symbol. It underscored how fragile the Christian-Zionist consensus has become in the U.S.
4/ For Muslim states, this is not about partisan politics but about principle; humanitarian relief, holy site protection, and legal accountability. These themes resonate deeply with faith-driven U.S/Western conservatives.
5/ By framing outreach in moral and religious language – protecting life, safeguarding the vulnerable, defending sacred sites – Muslim states can find common ground with Christians increasingly uneasy about Israel’s actions.
6/ The shared moral bedrock is simple: the Golden Rule – “treat others as you wish to be treated.” Both Bible & Qur’an uphold it. This can be the foundation of a faith-based alliance against Israel’s crimes and injustice.
7/ Practical steps: interfaith humanitarian projects, co-sponsored fact-finding missions, and joint calls for civilian protection. Shared values, not ideology, can form the bridge.
8/ If the Qatar summit’s agenda expands beyond governments to engage faith communities, it could reshape global discourse – showing that opposition to Israeli excesses is not “Islam vs. the West” but a broader moral coalition.
9/ Bottom line: Muslim states alone can pressure Israel, but with Christian conservatives questioning old narratives, the scope of allies can widen. That’s a new front Israel isn’t prepared for.
