JERUSALEM, Israel – Since October 7th, 2023, Israel has been fighting on seven fronts, three of which are Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran. In recent years, the war has expanded to an eighth front, which includes education and the court of public opinion.
Former Mossad operative Seguiv Auslin defined it in an interview with CBN News.
“The Eighth Front is the front of public perceptions of P.R., undermining not just Israel, not just Zionism, but mainly and eventually Western Civilization, Western countries. This is the Eighth Front. This is not an Israeli concept. This is an international concept that is relevant to America, to Europe, to any society that seeks freedom and peace,” Auslin stated.
He continued, “We are in a war, yeah. We are in a war against radical Islam, against woke extremist organizations, ultra-(progressive) organizations, and Communism. Those three organizations came together to fight in a very effective way, we must agree, against Western civilization and, as a matter of fact, also Israel, so surely Jews and Christians can come together to one camp and to fight back. So that’s the concept of the Eighth Front.”
Dan Diker of the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs describes the new axis in another way.
He told us, “It is manifested in something called the Red-Green Assault. Some call it the Red-Green Alliance, which means the alliance of green Islamists, of red Communists. And more recently, there are some sort of, I would even call them neo-Nazi nationals in America trying to subvert the Christian community.”
Diker said at a recent conference in Jerusalem that it’s important for an alliance of freedom to confront the Red-Green Alliance.
“The significance of this historic meeting today in Israel between Jews and Christians in the Holy Land sharing, you know, 3,400 years of a Biblical Judeo-Christian tradition, is actually to become partners in defending the very Holy Land that is so precious to both Jews and Christians because we are both under attack. Judeo-Christian civilization is under attack.”
David Parsons from the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ), noted, “We’ve spent centuries estranged, estranged from each other. And it’s time for us to come back together and get to know and learn (from) each other. And I think, even though there are suspicions against Christians who love Israel, who want to stand with them, I think more Israelis are understanding that we’re genuine friends. We’re here to help them.”

Parsons asserts that the October 7th, 2023, Hamas massacre and kidnappings accelerated that friendship.
“I think even the death of Yaron Lashinsky (murdered in Washington, DC), who was an Israeli diplomat and a Messianic Jewish believer, that even that has helped start breaking down some of the walls into suspicions among Israelis, because here he was Israeli. He was one of their own, representing their country, but believed in Yeshua (Jesus). And I think we’re in a time that – it’s the war – the conflict has sort of pushed us along, but we believe it’s the hand and the timing of God to bring us together on a path that we believe it’s preparing the way for the one true Messiah to come back to this land.”
Asulin believes the enemies of Israel, Judaism and Western Civilization understood something almost 20 years ago.
“They cannot win against Israel and America and Western countries only by kinetic force,” he said. “So maybe, I think, the most sophisticated campaign that humankind has ever seen was launched years ago, and what we see, you know, by social media, by lawfare, by penetrating education systems, universities, colleges, et cetera, et cetera. And what we see right now is that.”
Saudi journalist Abdulaziz Alkhamis sees the Muslim Brotherhood as one of those enemies.
“The Western people should understand the region very well. The problems in the region (are) coming from the extremism, from the political Islam, from the two sources: Muslim Brotherhood and the Iran region. Muslim Brotherhood activities in Europe and in the United States it’s a lot. And they’re doing what they want. And they are the source of the, the hate and the… Anti-Western values.
Alkhamis added, “And, shamefully, we found (that) the Western politicians, they support Muslim Brotherhood. They support the people they want to kill them. They support the people they want to change the world. They support their countries.
He warns that America needs to know the Muslim Brotherhood’s agenda.
“The ultimate is, I think the Muslim Brotherhood want to control the political scene in the USA. They try to have their people in the Congress. They try to control the media. And they finance a lot of activities in the university and education under the umbrella…of freedom, or the Palestinian rights. But the truth is (they’re) not. They’re using the Palestinian cause. But the truth is, it’s the ideology, the Muslim ideology, radical Muslim ideology.”
It’s why Diker believes Christians around the world must join the fight.
And it really is critically important that the 80 million or so Zionist Christians in the United States and 700 million Zionist Christians around the world join Israel in raising the national security threats in America and around the world, on television, in the press, in the social networks, so that the world understands that the threat is a common threat.”
