(PRIMER) CHRISTIAN ZIONISM, DISPENSATIONALISM AND THE END TIMES

Before we get to the weekend fun, there is one controversial topic we can't walk away from. That is because we are not in the business of chasing blindly after one party, whatever its moral failings may be. Truth matters, so let's get off Hegel's dialectic rat wheel and get to it. There are some 80 million, let me repeat that, 80 million Americans who are followers of the Evangelical brand of Protestantism, also called dispensationalism. A big part of them are believers in a made up eschatological story about the end times and the state of Israel. The two are of course tightly connected. Dr David Patrick Harry went into the issue of Christian Zionism this week in a lengthy, but very interesting podcast. He did a deep dive into its historical and religious roots and the political implications for American domestic and foreign policy.

This issue came up earlier when we debunked Senator Ted Cruz's statements in a contentious interview with Tucker Carlson on this matter (link). 

What no one seems to remember is that the State of Israel was originally founded in 1948 as a socialist state. Only recently the country hopped on the capitalist train (or should we say, globalist). The collective farm communities called kibbutz are a remnant of that time. But no dispensationalist seems to have cared at the time. 

The controversy coincides with a delegation from Congress visiting Israel on the invitation of the Israel lobby group AIPAC, which also happens to be made up of Evangelicals to a significant extent. 



For Greece the world's public opinion dividing in a pro and an anti stance towards Israel, poses a political as well as religious problem. Not to mention Israel's politically motivated alliances with the Pan-Turks in Turkey and Azerbaijan (link). 

Politically Israel has become a close ally of Greece and Cyprus, but there are multiple problems with this policy, as the Left is engaged in supporting Gaza in ways that far exceed the acceptable.

You will never see them this enraged about the continued occupation of Cyrus or the fact the Turks are currently holding five pensioners hostage. 




Israel for its part is causing issues with the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate in Jerusalem. 





People like to reduce moral questions to simple black and white answers. But reality is never like that.

Just how involved Greece is historically with Israel and the Palestinians since ancient times  is illustrated in a new episode of My Greek TV. We advise our readers to dive into both posts as if they were two parts of the same article (link).
