Jesus said he isn’t coming back until the Abomination of Desolation described in Daniel happens. The Abomination of Desolation requires a rebuilt Temple complete with animal sacrifices. A new Temple requires Jews, real Jews, not Phoenicians or the Synagogue of Satan. In particular, it requires descendants of Aaron. And yes, the Jews have been keeping track. Look up the surname Cohen. If you think God is going to let anyone else build a Temple, you need to read the Old Testament histories. Even David was not allowed to build a Temple. The new Christian denominations which took a fresh read...

Justin Raimondo: An American Neo-Fascist By Stephen Schwartz FrontPageMagazine.com | March 15, 2005 Dennis “Justin” Raimondo is a minor celebrity in the U.S., thanks to a 10-year career as an amateur demagogue in the libertarian milieu of the San Francisco Bay Area, a political environment where anything goes and nothing matters. He has the familiar personality traits of the type: “sentimental formlessness, absence of disciplined thought, ignorance combined with gaudy erudition.”  He poses as a conservative but maintains a website at antiwar.com, that features anti-American cranks like Noam Chomsky and is hugely popular with the left – not surprisingly since it...

“People have to understand that the backbone of Israel’s support in the United States is the evangelical Christians,” said former Israeli ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer last year. “If you look just at numbers, you should be spending a lot more time doing outreach to evangelical Christians than you would do to Jews…” There is no single cause that satisfactorily explains the loss of support for Israel among a younger generation of evangelicals; it is a confluence of factors. One of them is theological. Younger pastors are more amillennial than older ones, there’s less focus by the newer...

Since at least 1967, the organized American Jewish community, and virtually all US politicians, have treated Israel’s system of Jewish legal supremacy as nonnegotiable. Anti-Zionism has been beyond the pale. Mamdani’s victory suggests that we are witnessing a historic change. By bringing together anti-Zionists and liberal Zionists, Mamdani has forged a coalition that allows Americans who disagree in their ultimate vision for Palestine and Israel to work together to end unconditional US support for Israel. In the coming years, that coalition could change the Democratic Party, and American politics, as a whole. On its website, New York Jewish Agenda declares...

Zoom out: For now, MAGA is being held together by Trump's personality. But open disagreement has broken out over who should, and shouldn't, be accepted under its tent. U.S. support for Israel's operations in Gaza inflamed America First diehards and hardened Israel's MAGA allies. The online divisions have raged during the tenuous ceasefire, including tropes over Jews' supposed disproportionate influence in the U.S. A leaked group chat from New York State Young Republicans included racist comments and messages from a Trump administration nominee declaring he had a "Nazi streak." The revelation sparked debates over who — if anyone — should...

Is “Christian Zionism” an oxymoron? Worse still, is it a heresy? And whether it is an oxymoron or a heresy, is it a recent creation, dating back no earlier than the 19th century? Before we answer these questions, let’s first define our terms. If Zionism is the belief that Israel is the homeland of the Jewish people, then Christian Zionism is the belief that the Bible affirms that Israel is the homeland of the Jewish people. It’s that simple. We can now answer the first question: Is “Christian Zionism” an oxymoron? Not at all, since it can easily be demonstrated...

Former Fox News host and analyst Tucker Carlson continued his descent into rank antisemitism on Tuesday, publishing an interview with far-right podcaster Nick Fuentes, who has engaged in open holocaust denial and praised Hitler in the past. Despite former disagreements between them, Carlson and Fuentes bonded over their shared suspicion of “these Jews,” as well as their distaste for Christian Zionism and its supporters among the Republican Party. The self-identified lapsed Episcopalian Carlson lauded Fuentes for his criticism of Israel and U.S. support for it, “because it’s insane and it hurts us. We get nothing out of it. I completely...

About an hour long interview with Tommy Robinson...

“Many of us Jews feel these evangelicals love us for the wrong reasons. Because of their end-times views, they want to bring us all here so that a global war will come, we will be killed, and their Messiah will arrive.” She paused, then gave an image so striking I will never forget it: “It feels like a man who fattens a duck, feeding her daily and taking care of her—not because he loves her, but so that one day he can slaughter her.” Her words capture the deep suspicion and unease many Jews feel toward the false love of...

Dispensational Dispensational Zionism views the reestablishment of Israel in 1948 as a direct fulfillment of prophecy and a sign that history is approaching its climax. This view carries significant risks. It can reduce Israel to a mere prophetic symbol, turning Jewish people into actors in a divine drama rather than covenant partners. It can also foster uncritical support, a tendency to view all of Israel’s policies as automatically justified. At its worst, eschatological zeal leads to fatalism: if conflict in the Middle East is “predicted,” then pursuing peace seems pointless. This instrumentalizes both Israel and its neighbors and risks excusing...

From the publication of Hal Lindsey’s Late Great Planet Earth (1970) to the end of Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins’s Left Behind series (2007), premillennial dispensationalism promoted Christian Zionism steadily until it peaked under the presidency of George W. Bush. As the final volumes of the Left Behind series appeared, the Pentecostal pastor John Hagee formed Christians United for Israel (CUFI). With over 10 million members, CUFI is currently the largest pro-Israel organization in the United States. Even with Christian Zionist organizations like CUFI, the movement has waned as increasing numbers of evangelical younger Millennials and Gen Zers withdraw support...

The Balfour Declaration was signed in 1917. It set out British support for the creation of a homeland for the Jewish people in Palestine. But when the Balfour Declaration was signed, the British had already promised Palestine to Arabs as an independent state and promised the French government that it would be an internationally administered zone. Even then, most of the land was still under Ottoman control. So why did Britain make these three conflicting promises? How did it try to resolve them? And how did Britain’s strategy in the Middle East help to cause a century of conflict?

When Israel arrested 24-year-old Palestinian activist Ahed Tamimi for inciting terrorism in 2023, mainstream media outlets described her as a modern-day Gandhi. The New York Times hailed Tamimi as an "international symbol of Palestinian resistance." Reuters claimed her protests of "Israeli land seizures" had made her "a hero since she was a teenager." Even before her arrest, CNN called her a "fearless teen" who suffered the horrors of "living under Israeli military occupation." What those outlets have not reported, among other things, is Tamimi’s praise for Adolf Hitler, promises to drink the blood of Jews, and declarations that she is...

MAGA lawyer Alan Dershowitz's war against a pierogi stand in Martha's Vineyard continued to escalate this week after he misgendered the chef. Dershowitz showed up to Good Pierogi again on Wednesday to ask that they sell to him after the vendor previously refused to because of 'his politics.' As he asked for pierogis, the lawyer repeatedly referred to stand owner and chef Krem Miskevich as 'he,' enraging them. 'My pronouns are they/them, and you know about this, and you continue to misgender me,' Miskevich told Dershowitz. The lawyer then corrected himself and said his issue was not Miskevich's gender identity....

The term "pallyweid" can be used to describe a specific type of rhetoric or narrative about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that is both misleading and one-sided, often found in discussions that accuse Israel erroneously of “apartheid” and “genocide.” Here's how the key elements can be incorporated into the term: Pallyweid and the Apartheid SlurThe term pallyweid draws from the "apartheid" false accusation leveled at Israel, which critics claim is based on systemic racial segregation akin to the policies of South Africa during apartheid. In reality, Israel’s legal and political framework is far different from the brutal racial segregation of the South...

Catholic Zionism differs from the forms of Protestant Zionism that require a literalist exegesis of Revelation 20:2, which describes a thousand-year period of Messianic rule during which Satan is “bound” and his power restrained. Catholic Zionism does not see the creation of Israel in 1948 as inaugurating the end times. The death and resurrection of Jesus did that. Catholic Zionism does not support an “apocalyptic” showdown in the Middle East… Catholic Zionism shares one central feature of Protestant Zionism, however: It affirms that the promise made to Abraham in Genesis matters in our time. The foundation of the State of...

The U.S. Justice Department is suing the owner of Oakland’s Jerusalem Coffee House over two incidents in which he allegedly booted Jewish customers who wore baseball caps featuring the Star of David. Footage from an Oct. 26 confrontation shows owner Abdulrahim Harara, who is of Palestinian heritage, telling customer Jonathan Hirsch to “get out of my business” after spotting what he called Hirsch’s “violent hat.” “You can’t refuse service for a protected class,” Hirsch says in the heated confrontation. “Yes I can,” Harara says. “Are you a Zionist? Leave!” Harara did not comment for this story, but Hirsch’s attorney, Omer...

Republican Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky said Thursday night that the United States should stop all military aid to Israel, citing mounting civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip. Newsweek reached out to Massie's office via email Thursday for comment.
