Christian Zionism
In 1878, William Blackstone, a foundational figure in early Christian Zionism, published a book titled Jesus Is Coming. The best-selling work popularized the idea held by some Christians that God gave the land of Israel to the Jewish people. In the late 19th and 20th centuries in the U.S., Britain, and elsewhere, Christian Zionism gained followers. This conviction, taken from an evangelical perspective, draws on the belief that millennia ago, the land was promised to the Jews, who would rule it until the return of Jesus to Jerusalem for the rapture. Christians will be saved upon Christ’s return, while non-Christians who do not convert will face damnation. It’s estimated today that Christian Zionists number in the tens of millions and exercise considerable political influence.

Mark Gormley –
Veronica Sherman provides great insight into what those of us who have been digging and digging since October 7, 2023 have been wanting to uncover. I no longer believe Israel has a right to exist as the ethnocentric apartheid state it has become. Veronica Sherman provides a capstone to everything else I have read on the topic (Comment edited for brevity & clarity).
