From here:
“With God on Our Side,” the new anti-Israel movie produced by an evangelical pastor and aimed at evangelical audiences, is touring America this month, with anti-Israel British Anglican priest Stephen Sizer in tow. On October 27, it was originally going to be screened in the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center, doubtless hoping to appeal to young evangelical Congressional staffers, whose numbers and influence likely will increase in the new Congress. Now, for whatever reason, it instead will screen at a Lutheran church on Capitol Hill.
The Evangelical Left is anxious to neutralize evangelicals as America’s typically most pro-Israel demographic, especially by focusing on the plight of Palestinian Christians, who are portrayed as victims exclusively of Israeli oppression. “With God on Our Side,” predictably, portrays pro-Israel Christians as mindless zealots indifferent to Palestinian suffering and exploiting Israeli Jews as merely tools for precipitating the Second Coming. Hapless quotes from Christian Zionists are contrasted with thoughtful articulations from Palestinian Christians and other pro-Palestinian advocates.
Anglican priest Stephen Sizer, prominently featured in the film, bewails Christian Zionism on his website: “Aspects of this belief system lead some Christians in the West to give uncritical support to Israeli government policies, even those that privilege Jews at the expense of Palestinians, leading to great suffering among Muslim and Christian Palestinians alike and threatening Israel’s security as a whole.”
Rev. Stephen Sizer is upset with evangelical Christians who support Israel based on what he calls Christian Zionism, a belief that the Jews’ return to the Holy Land and the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 is in accordance with Biblical prophecy. I don’t find that idea unpersuasive; I do find Stephen Sizer’s crusade against it lacking in honesty. It seems to me that he is engaged in political agitation thinly concealed by a veil of religious sanctimony.
While Israel isn’t perfect, there are plenty of political reasons to support it, the main one being that it is an oasis of democracy in a desert of vicious tyrannies.
It does seem dodgy, doesn’t it? Why is he doing it? If the destruction of Israel is the number one objective of the political Left (now that South Africa and Rhodesia are smoking ruins), it would seem fairly obvious that questioning Christian zionism is likely to be taken as merely politically inspired.
