Zionism and Western Judeo-Christian Identity

Zionism and Western Judeo-Christian Values

Politicising Theology in the Service of Settler Colonialism, Ethnic Cleansing and Genocide

• What What is the relationship between the secular nationalist ideology of Zionism and the theological concept of the restoration of the Jews to the Holy Land of Palestine?

• How did evangelical Christians and Jews manage to unite over support for Zionism and Israel despite the vast theological, political, and cultural differences?

• How did Christian Zionism use the Western Judeo-Christian identity to entrench the geopolitical realities of the settler colonial project in Palestine?

• Why have many Western religious institutions been silent over the genocide in Gaza or indeed have sided with Israel?

To answer these questions and more, please join this conversation with Rev. Dr. Stephen Sizer.

Dr Sizer is a retired Christ Church Vicar and a member of Jewish Network for Palestine. Author of “In the Footsteps of Jesus and the Apostles”, “Christian Zionism: Roadmap to Armageddon” and “Zion’s Christian Soldiers: The Bible, Israel and the Church”.
