Buying Pastors & Stalking Churchgoers: Israel’s Longtime Heist on the Christian Church Exposed (Tucker Carlson Video)

Turns out the Israeli government is targeting American churches to indoctrinate unsuspecting Christians.
In this 18 June 2026 published video, host Tucker Carlson talks with Nathan Apffel, director of “The Religion Business” explains. Apffel is an investigative documentary filmmaker best known for creating the docuseries The Religion Business, which examines financial fraud and abuse within American religious institutions while calling for the institutions to realign with the ethos of Christ.
The video focuses on foreign influence, political lobbying, and the treatment of Christian populations in the Middle East. It examines how domestic religious organizations interact with geopolitical interests. It explores how financial resources and lobbying efforts are allegedly used to influence Western Christian pastors, particularly Evangelical leaders, to secure unconditional political support for the Israeli government. The commentary highlights documented tensions in the region, including reports of harassment, verbal abuse, and spitting incidents directed at Christian clergy, pilgrims, and historic sites by ultra-Orthodox extremists in Jerusalem’s Old City. The segment addresses the challenges faced by native Palestinian Christian communities in the West Bank and Gaza, whose populations have shrunk significantly over the last several decades.
Activists, human rights organizations, and local Christian leaders frequently express concern over the rise of religious intolerance and nationalist extremism in Israel. They argue that far-right political rhetoric and lenient law enforcement contribute to a hostile environment for religious minorities and threaten Christian property rights in the Holy Land. Top Israeli officials and prominent Chief Rabbis have formally condemned acts of hostility against Christians, stating that harassment and spitting violate Jewish law and values.
The Israeli police have formed specialized investigative units and conducted arrests to deter attacks and preserve freedom of worship in historic religious sites. Many Western pro-Israel Christian organizations and pastors maintain strong, faith-based alliances with Israel, viewing their advocacy as a fulfillment of biblical prophecy rather than the result of undue political manipulation. Organizers of pastoral delegations to Israel argue that these relationships are rooted in shared history and strategic solidarity.

June 23, Truth Social: Despite their protestations and false statements to the contrary, coupled with the drumbeat of the Fake News, which is doing everything possible to make the U.S. Victory as small and insignificant as possible, Iran has fully and completely agreed to highest level Nuclear inspections long into the future (Infinity!!!). This will insure “Nuclear Honesty.” If they did not agree to this, there would be no further negotiations! Based on this and other major concessions being made by Iran, I have agreed to allow the Hormuz Strait to remain OPEN, with no further Naval Blockade. However, all ships are remaining in place should it be necessary to reinstitute the Blockade, which seems, at this point, highly unlikely. The Money and/or Sanctions that the U.S. Treasury is releasing goes into escrow, controlled by the U.S.A., and will be used for the purchase of food and medical supplies, exclusively from the United States, including Corn, Wheat, and Soybeans from our great American Farmers. These are things that are desperately needed by Iran. This is a humanitarian crisis, and I feel it is necessary to help, NOW, before it is too late. Talks are going well! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
_______________________
The old establishment’s propaganda machine and its Iranian proxy networks are making a coordinated, automated last stand to control public perception. Despite their attempts to degrade the geometric…
scale of the white-hats victory, the proxy leaders have fully surrendered and agreed to expose their remaining hidden leverage.
Linking infinity to inspections shifts the structural nature of time. It repositions US Republic monitoring from a temporary tactical occupation into a permanent, unceasing state of foundational vigilance.
It is a guaranteed outcome in which choosing refusal means the path is immediately dead and locked in the past. It firmly cuts off the present and future timeline of diplomacy, leaving an empty, static reality.
An irreversible power dynamic is now in place. “I have agreed” carries unrivaled executive authority. It positions Trump as holding the only key of power to grant or deny access.
The valve controlling the flow of economic lifeblood is fully open. With no further containment, the white-hat military maintains continuous oversight with the ability to instantly snap it shut, even though no structural resistance appears to require it.
The unlocking of the stored potential energy and lifeblood of societal infrastructure and/or the shackles of the old financial, digital matrix is being transitioned from economic warfare to controlled abundance where freedom is being granted, while the oversight remains centralized under US Republic.
Under this framework, a foundational strategy for healing, stabilization, and societal rebuilding will be implemented after a long-standing psychological and economic war. The primary…
source of this restoration will be the US Republic, acting as a benevolent anchor and blueprint provider for the new paradigm. The Republic will supply a core, uncorrupted populist baseline of raw, organic truth essential to heal and nourish the nation, and restore its sovereignty.
This is a shift from decades of subjugation by the old guard to the rebuilding of its foundational elements of institutional stability. It frames the operation not as a conquest, but as a rescue mission. It represents a hollowed-out state apparatus that needs immediate intervention before it can be reshaped under the guise of salvation.
It establishes a narrative of moral obligation to immediately inject stability into this critical operational window. If white-hats do not anchor this window into the domestic framework, the regional framework within the new global infrastructure will become an unsustainable, prolonged liability.
“Talks are going well!” is President Trump as the chess grandmaster confidently stating “the game is proceeding smoothly” right after trapping the opponent’s king.
