Is Ben Shapiro Helping Israel or Christians?

Is Ben Shapiro Helping Israel or Christian missionaries? As we warned everyone in past lectures, Ben Shapiro says he's Jewish, while having an organization that is full of christian missionaries. Although he claims this has no affect on "his Modern Orthodox Judaism beliefs" time and his words are proving otherwise. Like his colleague Andrew Klavan, his other Daily Wire colleague, Michael Knowles joined forces with missionary organization One For Israel recently. If the missionary goals behind the Daily Wire scenes of the past were blurring the the big picture, today they're front and center and made the picture darker than night. SEE BELOW THE VIDEO...

And all of these dinim (laws) that we have set down apply only to a man who is wont to regret his sins. But if you have probed his ways and seen that the fear of G–d is not before his eyes and that he always persists in a way that is not good — such as one who divests himself of the yoke of Heaven or is unheedful of a transgression which every one of his people knows to be a transgression — that is, whether the sin you wish to reveal has been committed deliberately many times by the sinner or he often transgresses deliberately a different sin which is known by all to be a sin — then it is apparent that it is not because his evil inclination overpowered him that he transgressed the word of HaShem, but that he does as his heart sees fit and the fear of G–d is not before his eyes.
Therefore, it is permitted to shame him and to speak demeaningly of him, both before him and in his absence. And if he does something or says something which can be judged either in the scales of merit or in the scales of guilt, he must be judged in the scales of guilt, since he has shown himself to be an absolute evildoer in his other affairs. And thus have our Rabbis said (Bava Metzia 59a): "'And you shall not wrong, one man, his fellow [amito]' (Vayikra 25:17) — 'a people who is with you' [am ito] in Torah and mitzvoth — do not wrong him with words!" And if one does not direct his heart to the word of HaShem, it is permitted to shame him for his deeds, to make known his abominations, and to spill scorn upon him. And they said further (Yoma 86b): "Flatterers are exposed because of the desecration of the Name [that they engender]." And much more so if one reproved him for [his sin] and he did not desist from it, is it permitted to expose him and to reveal his sin in "the public gate" and to spill scorn upon him, until he returns to the good, as the Rambam has written in the end of Hilchoth De’ot 5.
