Report: Israel Paying 1,000 U.S. Pastors to Build Gen Z Support
May 2, 2026
The Israeli government just launched one of the most aggressive influence operations in modern history, and it’s happening right inside American churches. Independent journalist Ethan Levinsz and others are blowing the whistle on a massive campaign where the Israeli Foreign Ministry is paying for over 1,000 U.S. pastors to travel to Israel, train as unofficial ambassadors, and go back home to recruit Gen Z support.
They are turning the pulpit into a political megaphone. When a pastor is being trained by a foreign government to hit content targets, they aren’t preaching, they’re running a PR campaign for a military occupation.
Now, they are literally trying to buy the people you trust most to change your mind.
SHAME ON THE MANIPULATION! THE TRUTH ISN’T FOR SALE!

Ethan Levins: 1000 Christian pastors have been sent from Israel’s Foreign Ministry back to the United States to start churches and get jobs. Israel has announced that this is the biggest collaboration with Christian Americans and the state of Israel ever. They’re plunging tens of millions of dollars into this campaign to train Christian pastors in Israel, ship them back to the United States, which is happening now, and portray Israel in a better light. They say that ever since October 7th, it’s been harder to get young Americans to love Israel. And so there’s no better way than to show them how great Israel is then through Christianity. That’s literally their words. This program is going to start the funding of new Christian churches that is literally funded and backed by Israel. The worst part is we’re not going to know what any of these churches are. And let’s say you have a new pastor that shows up for your church. He could be one of these 1000 that was specifically trained by the State of Israel to make the younger generation accept them more. It was originally 100,000 pastors, but they couldn’t find enough.
