As President Joe Biden and his Democratic colleagues continue to undermine the U.S.’ longtime strategic alliance with Israel, a recent event saw top faith leaders, Republican lawmakers, and conservatives gather to underscore a unified stance against the failed two-state solution, while promoting the idea of Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) as integral to Israel, grounded in a religious and political opposition to Palestinian statehood.
A Tuesday event of the Keep God’s Land organization in Washington, DC, brought together 150 top Christian, Jewish, and conservative leaders to “make their voices heard in opposition to the Biden administration’s push for a unilateral decision of a two-state solution.”
The Leadership Reception, hosted by the Heritage Foundation, featured an array of special guests, including Sen. Rick Scott of Florida, Republican Congresswoman Claudia Tenney, Heritage Foundation President and Army veteran James Carafano, Family Research Council President Tony Perkins, Israel365 founder Rabbi Tuly Weisz, Knesset Member Ohad Tal, and Trump’s faith adviser Pastor Paula White.
,Still kind of wondering when Christians will come in more and claim Jewish people lost the land by rejecting Jesus… or wondering why it isn’t insisted upon that Israel is converted to Christianity.
I think Christians believe this “Israel” to refer to the spiritual Israel… not Jews who reject Jesus and create a State. As such I would expect God to curse those who bless an anti-Christ Israeli State… Catholics generally formed a Western medieval Christendom, and some states seemed to be orthodox outright; it seems like the Christian approach is for States to be Christian, not Jewish.
edit: curious to see where this all goes as Israel seems to be losing something of a media battle? Can’t imagine their warmongering looks good to most people. According to some polls, young people especially are not supportive of what they’re doing
There is the idea in Protestantism of dispensationalism - specifically very popular in American evangelical Christianity - in which a lot of investments have been made.

Generally speaking, other Christians simply reject any ideas about the Jewish people and Israel having this special path they are walking for the fulfillment of all history. The Church is the new Israel, and the Jewish people of the old covenant are completely cut out of the church. There is the skepticism that they uphold anything like authentic Judaism - after all, they inherited the beliefs of the Pharisees and the Sadducees and created Talmudism which is distinct from the Judaism of the Torah…
Jews are people to be converted, and where we talk about potential prophecies of the End Times, the theories often focus on the Antichrist coming from ecumenism and often the Pope is singled out, though there are those who would say that Judaism itself will give birth to the Antichrist because the Antichrist will be their prophesied Messiah who they will elevate to the highest points of power that they can achieve.
It’s a very contrasting set of views…
And the former, dispensationalism, I think was astroturfed with cooperation of wealthy Jewish financiers because they saw the benefit of sucking in millions of gullible Protestants into zionism.
Because that is ultimately what dispensationalism serves - the Zionist project.
Exactly.
