The Jewish socialist Left has been spending time today tweeting against Mike Pompeo ahead of his RNC speech from Jerusalem. They point out that he is a Christian Zionist, or as they say an “extremist zealot,” and they claim that all Christian Zionists want to see the Rapture and the Jews are only pawns in this plan where they supposedly want to see more Middle East wars.
It is very amusing that people who are dead-set against Israel making peace with Arab countries pretend to care so much about peace.
But beyond that, their complaints about the Christian Zionists are based on an anti-Christian and antisemitic assumption: that fundamentalist Christians want to see widespread war and destruction to bring the Second Coming – and that militant, warmongering Israel shares their supposed desire to nuke the entire Middle East.
In reality, Israel decides what is best for Israel. No evangelist is going to convince Israel’s leadership to start a war that is not in Israel’s own interests. The Christian Zionists aren’t telling Israel what to do – they are trusting Israel to be smart enough to know what is best for its own people and its own future. And they support whatever Israeli leaders decide.
Which is how it should be. Only people who hate Israel – like these socialists – think that Israel shouldn’t do what is in its own self interest.
The real reason that these “woke” people hate Christian Zionists is because they are Zionists. The secondary reason is because they are religious and these socialists hate religion. The third reason is because they are Christians and they want to smear all religious Christians as antisemites, which is slanderous and absurd.
The fourth reason is because Christian Zionists vote.
