Dexter Van Zile is the Christian Media Analyst for CAMERA. He has done some great research and debunked many outrageous claims by anti-Israel Christian groups, and he speaks to audiences in the US about the dangers to Christianity in the Middle East.
We had a nice discussion last night, before he was to speak at a function in New York. We spoke about supersessionism, the belief that some Christians have that they have replaced Jews in God's universe which naturally leads to the belief that Jews do not deserve their own state.
Other topics included the hypocrisy of some Christian groups in holding Jews to an impossible standard while not asking anything from Israel's enemies (often citing scripture,) Palestinian Christian anti-semitism and the psychological curse of dhimmitude.
He's a very nice guy, too.
The video is 17 minutes, longer than I would prefer, but I think you will learn something.
He mentions Mark Durie, you can see more about him here. (h/t Ian)
