For some reason they think they are doing God's work by condemning Israel for returning to the land which God gave them. They also condemn Christians such as myself who support Israel's biblical right to the land. I have debated this subject on the liberal Sojourners website as I pointed out in an article I wrote: Does the land of Israel belong to the Jews?. Most of the blog articles on the Sojourners site incline favorably to the Palestinians at the expense of the Israelis. Another article I wrote deals with Knox Theological Seminary's Open Letter signed by hundreds of Protestant leaders declaring that the Jews have no biblical right to the land of Israel: An Open Response to Knox Theological Seminary, Liberal Theologians, and other parties opposed to the Jews' Right to the Land of Israel. In that article I illustrate point by point biblically showing that God's word does indeed grant the land to the Jews. On this blog I responded to an email that Pastor Rich Nathan of Vineyard wrote to his congregation a few years ago where he states that Christians must reject a "false interpretation of the ancient promises made by God to Abraham": Pastor Rich Nathan of Vineyard vs Christian Zionism. This past fall, a gathering of Catholic bishops in Vatican City laid much of the blame for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on Israel: Catholic Bishops Demand Israel End Occupation Of Palestinian Land. The Presbyterian Church has taken sides against Israel in some of its recent conferences including a 2004 recommendation that the Church remove its investments from Israel: Presbyterian Church Still One-Sided On Israel. Some of these groups use liberal Jews who condemn Israel for their self-preservation efforts to justify their constant opposition to Israel's policies. These Christian organizations and individuals get defensive about being labeled as anti-Semites because of their opposition to Israel and its policies. I don't think they are necessarily antisemitic but I do think they are anti-Israel. I get the impression that most of these groups and individuals wish that Israel had never come back into existence and thereby peace would reign in the Mideast. Whether that is true or not there is someone who does indeed which Israel would go away and will do everything in his power to make it happen... Related posts:

They quote the apostle Paul's letter to the Galatians where he called Christians the "Israel of God". (Galatians 6:16) They believe that since the Jews as a nation rejected Jesus as their Messiah the covenants God made with them in the Old Testament are no longer in effect. Therefore, the Jews of today have no God-given right to the land of Israel... Related posts:
