Interfaith Action for
PALESTINE
June 29 - July 1, 2025
Our interfaith coalition is taking on the largest pro-Israel organization in the country
The Interfaith Action for Palestine (IAP) is bringing together a coalition of faith-rooted activist organizations for a critical intervention this summer: we’re coming together to counter Christians United for Israel (CUFI) — the largest “pro-Israel” organization in the United States — during their Annual Summit June 29–July 1, 2025.
As people of faith, we are sickened that our elected leaders are fulfilling the goals of a far-right, Christian Zionist organization

Why counter CUFI?
CUFI is a Christian Zionist organization founded by far-right televangelist Pastor John Hagee, who is known for promoting extremist anti-Muslim and antisemitic tropes.
It is by far the largest Zionist organization in the United States, with over 11 million members.
Core to Christian Zionist theology is the belief that all Jews must move to Israel and ethnically cleanse all Palestinians from the “holy land” in order to hasten the “end times” and the return of Jesus Christ. This dangerous theology is part of White Christian Supremacy.
The CUFI conference meets each year in DC with the goal of influencing members of US Congress to continue supporting Israel’s right wing government, even today in its genocidal campaign in Gaza. In the past, speakers at CUFI have included Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Vice President Mike Pence, and the organization’s founder Pastor John Hagee.
