The only reason for being a Jew is superiority.
There are a few physical characteristics of most Jews but those features also manifest in some non-Jews.
A superiority complex comes from the soul of the person - their mind, will and emotions. Just as the Palestinians are taught to hate Israelis so Jews are taught to feel superior. This is what holds them together as a people as most Jews long ago forsook their faith in God.
When Christ Jesus rejected them as the chosen people all they had left was tradition - the tradition of being Chosen People, but not the fact of it.
This clannishness resulted in non-Jews being resentful of their superiority-complex and clannishness, and so there have been clashes with them for the past 2000 years.
Zionism is the promotion of Jewishness which, as I said, is based on chosenness and superiority.
Zionism is no more a threat than Americanism at face value. However, when God is invoked as a supporter of Zionism or Americanism, we are on dangerous ground.
The Jewish people came about because of God's calling Abraham and blessing him for his faithfulness and blessing him with the land of Canaan.
America came about because Christians desired freedom to worship Christ as the Holy Spirit dictated. God honored them for their faith and gave them the land we call America and blessed them to prosper in the land.
But what is Israel today? A secular nation that exists for Jews and the promotion of Jewish interests.
And what is America today? A secular nation that exists for Americans and the promotion of American interests.
For this reason, neither the nation of Israel nor the United States is blessed or protected by God.
Israelis who worship Christ are chosen and blessed.
Americans who worship Christ are chosen and blessed.
There are not a lot of Christians in Israel because Jews by their upbringing are taught that Jesus was a fraud.
There are still a great number of Christians in America because of churches and ministries.
Because of the presence of a great number of Christians in America, America is still being blessed as a whole.
Because Israel is not Christian it has depended on American Zionism to be protected and to prosper.
The question is: Why is there American Zionism or, more accurately, Christian Zionism?
The answer is: There has been wrong teaching about the standing of Jews with Christ.
➛ Christ Jesus is the God of the Old Testament.
➛ Jesus is the One who called Abraham.
➛ Jesus is the One who made covenants.
➛ All Christ's promises were and still are conditional.
Those who know anything about the Old Testament are well aware that God blessed Israel when they served Him and He pulled back those blessing when they rebelled. There were subjugations, civil wars and captivities coming out of their rebellion.
The greatest rebellion Israel ever committed was when they rejected God in the flesh - Jesus Christ - murdering Him and blaspheming Him from generation to generation.
For this reason it takes twisted thinking by Christians to consider Jews as chosen. Only believers in Christ are chosen.
To not be for someone or something is not the same as being against that person or thing. Zionism is the promotion of Jewishness and so Zionists equate 'not being a Zionist' with being anitisemitic. This is a lie perpetrated to promote Zionism.
Christians particularly should NOT be Zionists because it is enabling the error of Jewishness (superiority and chosenness) to continue. Christians should be sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with Jews.
Why would a non-Christian American be a Zionist?
➛ they are a Jew
➛ they are being supported by Jews
I can't think of any other reason.
From a purely political or economic perspective it may make sense to consider Israel an ally. But allies have to have common footing and some level of agreement that holds them together in an alliance.
It appears that we share some common footing politically. There may also be some economic benefit through trade.
But in any alliance there must be a contribution from both sides that is beneficial to the other side.
Since America is not spiritually tied to Israel then our dealings with them must be based on political and/or economic benefits.
The benefits of the alliance must be for the people of those nations and not just for the leadership of those nations.
How are the people of Israel benefitted by Israel's alliance with America?
➛ financial support
➛ protection from enemies
How are the people of the United States benefitted by America's alliance with Israel?
.... crickets .....
How are the economic and political leaders in the United States benefitted by our alliance with Israel?
We need openness and accountability to answer that question.
Anti Semitism is not the same as Anti Zionism.
