Last month, Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) Director of Christian Engagement EJ Kimball addressed the “Breakfast to Honor Israel” at the annual National Religious Broadcasters Convention (NRB 2024) in Nashville, Tennessee.
The theme of the breakfast — co-sponsored by CAM, the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ), and American Friends of Magen David Adom — was solidarity with the State of Israel and Jewish people in the aftermath of the October 7th Hamas massacre. More than 300 people attended the sold-out event.
In his remarks, Kimball detailed the post-October 7th global surge of antisemitic attacks, noting, “These assaults are not just against Jews, but also those who stand with the Jewish people.”

Kimball went on to highlight the importance of “educating about antisemitism from the earliest ages in schools, in your churches and on your broadcasts,” and he emphasized the usefulness of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism, which had been adopted by 1,216 entities worldwide as of the end of 2023, according to data compiled by CAM and Tel Aviv University’s Center for the Study of Contemporary European Jewry.
“Let me close by thanking you all for your partnership and asking for your help because this fight is also your fight,” Kimball concluded. “In Rockefeller Center, for the Christmas tree lighting, a tradition generally not for Jews, there was a pro-Hamas mob that sought to stop it from happening. The forces of evil are out in plain sight and we all need to unite to defeat it.”
CAM has been represented the past five years at the annual NRB conventions and is building a broad base of evangelical Christian support for international efforts to combat antisemitism.
