Some things Palestinian Christians Have Said.

"Christian Zionism is a Cult. They have their own version of The Bible (Schofield Bible). Founders (Darby Schofield) who were the first people they believe understood The Bible and they believe that they are the only ones with absolute truth. Also, like all cults they claim to be experts on end time prophecy. Zionism is an anti-Christ Heresy"

" I went on a visit to the US last year, saw a nice house and decided that belong to me, went to the door with a bible in one hand and a gun in the other and I said to the owner, this house is mine, it say so in this book, I asked him and his family to leave or else, he asked me to wait for minute and he went inside and called the lunatic asylum and the cheek of it they came and locked me up. Do you people think that's fair after all God promised that house ."

“Why Does Israel disrespect my Religion, My Church & My Home by sending bombs & propaganda towards us & the rest of the world? Why am I never represented internationally as if all Palestinians are Muslim? Why do staunch supporters of Israel never mention that I exist when they are discussing the "Arab population"?
There is a lot of things I would like to know & find out but most of all I want to know why Christians across the globe conform to this so called Christian Zionism while ignoring the Holy Bible?
I am a Christian Palestinian & some day soon Israel will make me extinct!"

"Some Christians believe that the modern Israeli state is part of God's plan to bring in his final kingdom and so must be supported and protected at all costs. Other Christians, including myself, believe that the Jewish claim is still valid, but limited, because Muslims and Christians also claim Abraham as their father... and therefore have rights. And for all the children of Abraham God's promise is not unconditional. "

"In the Old Testament, much of which we share with Judaism, God promises the land to Abraham and his descendants. But does that promise still stand today and if so, who are the descendants? Some Christians believe that when Jesus came, his followers inherited these promises, which they believe referred to a spiritual home, not a physical one."

"When you listen to the news you may notice that the forced displacement of Palestinian Christians is never mentioned. Christian and Muslim
Palestinians lived together in peace for centuries. The majority of the
Christians in Palestine were driven abroad by the Israeli invasions, and now they make up 30 percent of all Palestinians abroad. Prior to the establishment of the state of Israel, 35 percent of Palestine was Christian. In Jerusalem itself, the Christian population has been reduced from 51 percent to just 2 percent of the total inhabitants. After many years of genocide, Palestinian Christians have been forgotten."

"No one has the right to name the land of God as "Jewish".

"The sad & relevant truth is that Zionism supported by Christians has discredited the Gospel in the minds of the Muslims. As a result, Christians are suffering, & churches destroyed.
The Jews don't exactly welcome the Gospel, nor do they rejoice in the salvation of their family members. They recognise a Jewish state. As for Jesus, let his name be forgotten."

"Ephesians 2:11-22 made it clear to me who Israel is. We Christians are the NT Israel of God.
The Bible is clear sadly many are deeply deceived and think the wicked Israeli state is the Israel of the Bible... but that is impossible for those who read and believe the teaching of Christ and His Apostles. Surely Zionism (and the Israeli state) is the Great Whore depicted in Scripture."

"Zionism is racist: This claim isn't the same as saying that all Zionists are racist. I would make a distinction between the categories of "Zionist" and "Zionism." However, inherent in the practice of Zionism is a reliance on racialist judgments about who can fully participate in the benefits and practices of a national community. Many Zionists view themselves merely as supporting freedom and safety for Jewish people. I would suggest that people who identify themselves as Zionist look more closely at the ideology they support. Such freedom and safety, both of which are in fact mythologies, come at the direct expense of people confined to Bantustans and refugee camps."

"Christ and the church are the chosen ones:
1 Peter 1:20
He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.

Ephesians 1:4
...For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight."

"however much empathy you or any of us may feel for Jews who suffered from centuries of pogroms and discrimination and finally the Holocaust, that can never be a valid excuse for denying fundamental rights to others, especially those who had nothing to do with that suffering to begin with. (And for anyone inclined to ...tread once again that well-worn path striving to link Palestinians to pogroms, Hitler, Nazis, etc, please know that many of us are quite familiar with the histories involved and well aware of the motivations behind these claims -- claims that are simply not credible or compelling)"

"Replacement Theology is replacing Jesus with the Old Covenant."

"Replacement Theology is a misnomer, claiming New Covenant believers teach that the church has replaced Israel, while in fact the church is Israel in the biblical sense, i.e. believers made up of Jews and Gentiles who come into the gospel ("Inclusion Theology").
While some say God will judge nations and people on how they respond to the Jews and old covenant Jerusalem, God says he will judge people on how we respond to Jesus and the gospel. So national Israel has replaced Jesus."

"The Zionism fold blinded the American Christians through the media they possess. The American people are very naive and believe in every thing the media says and wash their brain day and night by such a religious lies which are not mentioned in the New Testament.
These brain washed people in a legendary prophecy, Jesus... himself said about it that only the father knows the time. How these Zionists wants to push their agenda in spite of the God will.
The churches should say the truth about this matter to all the Christian believers?"

"The error that the "kingdom of God" is of this world has justified a lot of oppression and was clearly rejected by Jesus"

"Seeing people have the courage to speak up against such abomination lifts my heart in the belief that the good among us will survive and eventually become better united. We are sick to death of occupation and terrorism!"

"There is a huge difference between Judaism & Zionism. There is a huge difference between Biblical Zion & political Zionism. There is a huge difference between Biblical/Spiritual Israel & Zionist Secular Terrorist Israel"

"God is NOT a real estate agent nor a racist, and He has no favourite nation; we were all created by the very same God and on His image"

"The Fake Christians, who are Christian-Zionists, are NOT Christians. God will destroy Zionism and Zionists. NOT everyone who says Lord Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven. Zionists who call themselves Christians will go to hell like the rest of them."
"Zionism is brainwashing, these so called Christian Zionists have replaced Jesus for Israel."

"Any man who preaches that there is another way to Heaven for Jews (or anyone else) other than through Jesus Christ is anti-Biblical and apostate. Israel is not the insane asylum in the Middle East that was stolen from the Palestinians; Israel is the whole of Christianity, be they Gentile or Jew by blood. WE are the chosen people, counted as the seed of Abraham and inheritors to the promise, while those who reject Christ are cast out, and just another heathen. That is what the Bible plainly says in numerous places."

"God's chosen people are those that are called Christian today. Jews of today are not even from Jacob/Israel but from Esau mixed with sons of Japheth, Shem’s brother meaning they are not even Semitic. The scriptures are quite clear that those that call themselves Jew of today but are not for they are the synagogues of Satan. In other words they are the enemies of God/YHWH. There is a BIG difference between Jew and Hebrew. There were TWELVE tribes from TRUE Israel, not one. Those people are a mixed nation of Talmud lovers who are not Gods. They are the anti-christs talked about in the bible. TRUE Israel (12 tribes) can be traced from scripture and History (if one studies to show himself approved) to USA and Britain. Identity Matters!"

"It is heartening to see Christians speaking out against Zionism. There is nothing more evil than a pecking order of humanity being implemented. God did not make or intend any culture or people to be 2nd class citizens terrorized by a manmade ideology....That is what Zionism is and does."

"I wonder why So many Christians continue to ignore what the Government of Israel is doing because of misinterpretations of the Bible. I stand strong as a Christian against the Government of Israel!"

"There have been Palestinian Christians since, well, the time of Christ--yet their voices are seldom heard. The Pat Robertson’s, etc., often visit the Holy Land and truck with
ultra-rightist Zionist leaders--but somehow they never in a visit with native Christians to hear their views. The anti-Christian country, Israel, has almost massacred all of them."

The confusion is that some people mix up people who are Jewish with the political state of Israel. The two are quite different and being supportive of Jews does not necessarily mean supporting Israel. At a very practical level none of my Jewish friends live in Israel anyway. Also the Christian Zionists seem to disregard the indigenous Christian community in Palestine, as if it didn't exist."

"In light of what Jesus taught, how can we justify supporting a militant Zionist state? As Christians isn't it our duty to speak for those who have no voice and seek justice and liberty for everyone who is unfairly oppressed?"

"Arabs are not the enemies of Jews nor Jews are the enemies of Arabs; they both however have two common enemies, Zionism and Fundamentalism.

" Israel is synonymous with the Body of Christ & Heaven. Not the
Levant. It is better to call it Palestine. This thing called "Israel" that occupies Palestine is simply an invention of the Satanic
"United Nations".

“For those who use the Bible to support "Israel" need to differentiate between God promise and Balfour promise, because the occupation is the result of a promise given to the Zionists by Lord Balfour and not by God.”
