Damned if You Do, and Damned if You Don’t: The Inherent Contradictions of Christian Zionism

Christian Zionists—and their most ardently supported organization, “Christians United for Israel”—have once again proved that no matter how slavishly they try and ingratiate themselves with Jewish Supremacists, their overlords will always ultimately object to non-Jews having any say in Jewish matters.

The latest example has come with Jewish reaction to a new Christians United for Israel (CUFI) project designed to fund and promote a mass exodus of Jews from various countries to Israel.

HAARETZ-RAW-NERVE

While the Christian Zionists believe that they are thereby helping to fulfill some biblical prophecy, and at the same time supporting the Jews-only state of Israel, Jewish Supremacist reaction to the plan has been mixed, to say the least.

According to an article in Israel’s largest newspaper, Haaretz, the “Christian Evangelicals’ mass aliyah push [has] touched [a] Jewish nerve” and has “set off a furious controversy on multiple levels.”

Haaretz explained:

The group’s plan has set off a furious controversy on multiple levels. The pushback ranges from turf-oriented objections by the Jewish Agency for Israel, the Zionist movement’s longtime vehicle for promoting and implementing aliyah, to broader concerns about the ideological and even theological implications of the Christian group’s move.

“There’s a certain irony here when you see Christian evangelicals working to move Jews out of their countries, which is very different from the ideology that says Jews should live everywhere,” said Jonathan Sarna, a professor of American history at Brandeis University.

He noted that by moving full force into the field of aliyah, the Fellowship and its Christian backers are, in fact, taking the side of “traditional Zionists” who believe in promoting immigration of Jews to Israel, as opposed to the ideology of many American Jewish groups that believe in helping Jews live full and safe lives in their countries of residence. “But, in any case, we’re lucky to have money on both sides of this debate,” Sarna added.

The plan, announced by the “International Fellowship of Christians and Jews” was originally launched in a project “headed by Israel’s former top official dealing with the issue, and backed by millions of dollars collected from American evangelical Christians,” Haaretz continued, adding:

The Fellowship’s new move to set up its own aliyah operation will confront once again the sense of discomfort some Jews feel about the direct involvement of evangelicals in an operation that aims not just to help Jews in need, but also to fulfill the conditions many evangelicals see as a prerequisite for the second coming of Christ.

The ridiculousness of the situation has come about simply because Christian Zionists have been completely blinded to the nature of the ideological entity with which they have become entangled.

They ignore—or dismiss—the numerous examples of open hatred towards Christ, Christians and non-Jews in general, expressed by Jewish Supremacists both within and outside Israel.

Furthermore, the Christian Zionists also fail to understand that they are simply being manipulated by Jewish Supremacists under the guise of religion.

Few of the one million supporters of CUFI know, for example that the executive director of that organization is not even a Christian, but actually an active Jewish Supremacist named David Brog.

Prior to taking up his wire-pulling role at CUFI, Brog worked as chief of staff to his fellow Jewish Supremacist Senator Arlen Specter, and staff director of the Senate Judiciary Committee. In 2007, the Forward newspaper listed Brog in its “Forward 50” most influential Jews in America.

In other words, the Christian Zionists are damned if they do, and damned if they do not.

On the one hand, they appear to believe that they are doing God’s will by promoting Zionism and the return of Jews to Israel. The CUFI website even has a section called “The Israel Pledge” which reads in part as follows:

We believe that the Jewish people have a right to live in their ancient land of Israel, and that the modern State of Israel is the fulfillment of this historic right.

But, at the same time, as evidenced in the Haaretz report, many Jews interpret Christians supporting other Jews in moving to Israel as having some sinister connotation—as if those Christians want to get rid of Jews to fulfil a biblical prophecy!

Christian Zionists will, therefore, continue to fail to understand exactly what they are dealing with—until the time comes when they finally realize that Jewish Supremacy is not about religion, but rather about ensuring that the Jewish Lobby retains control of America and other western nations—and about putting Jews first and foremost.
