Introduction
Part 1.0 introduced readers to the Christian Zionism, a doctrinal subset of evangelical Christianity, and its growth to a point wherein its a substantial into a political force and pro-Israel lobby. Evidence of its continuing political influence at a pivotal time with respect to Israel was is illustrated in comments made by US ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee and a recent interview with Texas Congressman Ted Cruz, both committed Christian Zionists. The implication is clear. In the case of the US in particular, Christian Zionism, at the individual and collective levels, informs political debate, foreign policy and government actions favouring the State of Israel.
Part 2.0 offers some perspectives on Christian Zionism and outlines several of its problematic stances and actions associated with its unconditional support for Israel. It also challenges churches with a Zionist bent to take a bolder stance against Israel’s aggressions and war on Gaza.
Christian Zionism — a light critique
I lived the organizational life and observed organizational subculture for many years. I know how dense and distorting the bubble of organizational self-affirmation can be and the fervency with which it’s protected by its residents. Thus, the organism instinctively demands: a) loyalty and b) positively of the “we are virtuous” and “all is well” variety at all times — even when the winds are shifting outside the bubble. And since it’s a case of “us against the world”, thou shalt not seriously question the premises or purpose of the organization. (I’m clearly exaggerating here to convey a cultural tendency) In effect, one must practice “see no evil, eyes-side-shut “elephant” blindness.
Paradoxically, few instincts or habits are more dangerous to the life of an enterprise or, in this case, a movement like Christian Zionism. For this reason, this critique, offered in a spirit of love, may go unread, unheard or misunderstood by most adherents of Christian Zionism — for now at least, That said, it could also ignite a spark of truth-seeking among a minority of adherents who are privately questioning their commitment.
Inform, a self-described independent educational charity providing information about minority religions and sects describes Christian Zionism as “a pro-Israel lobby that uses its political power to promote policies favourable to the interests of the Jewish state.” Inform’s fact sheet (February 2022) under the heading “Controversies”, continues as follows: (Italic)
Over the years, Christian Zionists have actively lobbied for both the return of Jews to modern-day Israel and for an end to the existence of the territories administered by the Palestinian Authority. They “oppose the Middle East peace process because they oppose a physical division of Jerusalem or of Israel”, according to Dr Clifford Kiracofe, a former adviser to the US Senate.
Christian Zionist groups that fund Israeli settler communities have been criticized by the United Nations Security Council for providing support to settlement communities that are considered illegal under international law. (my bold highlight).
In 2006, the Anglican, Catholic, Syrian Orthodox and Lutheran churches’ leaders in Jerusalem published a letter, known as the Jerusalem Declaration on Christian Zionism, which outlined their opposition to Christian Zionism as a “false teaching”.
The Declaration states that the alliance of Christian Zionists with political leaders has led to “unending cycles of violence that undermine the security of all peoples of the Middle East and the rest of the world.”
The Jerusalem Declaration describes Christian Zionism and its impact on Israeli-Palestinian relations as follow: “Christian Zionism is a modern theological and political movement that embraces the most extreme ideological positions of Zionism, thereby becoming detrimental to a just peace within Palestine and Israel.”
Now, from the retrospective of the Gaza war, we can see the fulfillment of the warning in the Jerusalem Declaration. The cycles of violence have led to on-going violence (Israel is engaged in conflicts in five to six theatres) and a genocide. In retrospect, one can make the case that the ethnic cleansing has been occurring in slow motion throughout the 77 years since Israel’s founding. Consider that the Nakba (1947-1949) displaced 750,0000 Palestinians from their homeland.
Moreover, it’s reported that “Zionist forces had taken more than 78 percent of historic Palestine, ethnically cleansed and destroyed about 530 villages and cities, and killed about 15,000 Palestinians in a series of mass atrocities, including more than 70 massacres. The source was dated May 2017, so additions must be made to cover the period to October of 2023 and at least another 59,000 added to that total to cover the period since October 2023.)
Ethnic cleansing isn’t a fantasy, it’s policy. Twenty-seven years after Israel’s founding, Israel Koenig, the Northern District (Galilee) Commissioner of the Ministry of the Interior, authored a secret document, the Koenig Report. Koenig states: “We must use terror, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services, to rid the Galilee of it’s Arab population.“It is descriptive of the tactics Israeli’s has, in general, employed in dealing with Palestinians in the succeeding decades.
Did Christian Zionists or Christians in general react with righteous outrage and threaten to withdraw their support of Israel? If they have, I missed it. The evangelical churches I’ve been associated with appear to apply a form of moral equivalence to the situation, something they might construe as being'”neutral.” It reminds me of the grade school teacher pulling the bully off a kid one half the bully’s size and scolding: “Now, kids, you know you’re not supposed to fight.”
The analysis of Violet White and Michael Rosen (Christian Zionism: Useful Idiot for Genocide,June 2025) suggests that the Christian Zionist influence is dual in nature with an impact on the larger world and an impact on the Christian community. One the one hand, it’s an obstacle to peace. They describe CZ as “a dangerous sect that has much to do with Zionism and little to do with Christianity.” They describe one of its “contributions “as providing “theological cover for genocide”.
And on the other hand, it also contributes to”the passivity of mainstream Christian churches’ in terms of their responses to the genocide in Gaza. They go as far as to say that even as unparalleled evil plays out in the literal slaughter of children, Christian churches are uncertain of their stand. One reason suggested for their lack of full-throated opposition to Israel is their fear of being accused of being “antisemitic”. They are likely correct. My personal observations is the Zionist propaganda machine has been running overtime, busy conflating calls for an end to Israel’s genocide as “Pro-Hamas”, Pro-terrorist” — anything but “Pro-human”.
To sum it up, Christian Zionism and its adherents have been seen/are seen as:
a) spreading false teaching and history of modern day Jews and Israel;,
b) providing support to Jewish settler communities in violation of international law;
c) obstructing the peace process, and standing in the way of just peace within Palestine and Israel;
d) providing theological cover for genocide; and
e) dampening or muting the opposition of Christian churches to Israel and thus subtracting from and and distracting from the true mission of the church in the world.
If there ever was a time to reflect on the validity of these concerns and discuss them widely, it’s now! But don’t stop here, There’s more….
