ANTI-ZIONISM
For a printable shirt-pocket-foldable PDF tract of this subject please click on this link.

The world is split into two camps regarding the subject of Zionism, with perhaps few numbered among the indifferent, in between. The view among young people is often negative as a result of biased textbooks, and particularly around college campuses, through the billions spent by the Saudis to finance Islamic centers and mosques in the U.S. Extreme sentiments are certainly in no short supply with the tiny little strip of land of Israel having emerged from the utter desolation of 200 years ago, to becoming one of the most technologically advanced leading global economies, as well as a geopolitical focus of the world today.
 
Anti-Zionists & Anti-Zionism (URL)

The fruit of the anti-Zionist tree includes a near unanimity of Muslims, as well as Nazis, skinheads, white supremacists, the former Soviet communists, Louis Farrakan and the "Nation of Islam", George Soros and his Center for American Progress and anti-Semites of all stripes. All of whom thereby directly or indirectly advance the Islamic conquest of Israel, and the 1400 year goal of Islam, which is to conquer all kingdoms and subjugate all people to Muhammad's followers. With Israel being just another front, in the Islamic conquest of the world.

The anti-Zionist camp also includes some self-proclaimed Christians who reject that the return of Jews to our land is of the Lord. Examples in this group are Arnold Murray and his Serpent Seed cult, David Duke and the KKK, the "Christian Identity" movement and Jeremiah Wright.

In other words, anti-Zionism, is closely associated with anti-Semitism. It really isn't difficult, since all a person needs is the ability to discern the difference between right and wrong, and good and evil. It isn't necessary to consider it theologically, when we can plainly see the broader picture through that fruit, since in the Gospel we learn that:

Matthew 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither [can] a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

The fruit of the anti-Zionist tree also includes some institutional "churches", that generally hold partial-preterist eschatology, that was popularized in the 20th century. Their replacement theology and supersessionism are the natural result of believing that God had no further plan for Jews during the Christian era, in spite of the prophecies and even mathematical evidence of their fulfillment, let alone the stunning historical and present day reality of six million Jews ruling and reigning in Israel today after 2500 years of being scattered among Gentile nations. Their having developed Israel, from its utter desolation at the beginning of the 19th century, to becoming one of the most technologically advanced and leading economies in the world today.

Anti-Zionism in Protestantism is generally associated with the liberal "church", that began ignoring ordinances in earnest about fifty years ago, and today ordains women and even homosexuals. Doing what they can to conform their "church" to the world, rather than working to conform the world to the love of God as revealed through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Some even seeming to be more concerned about the "carbon footprint" of their "church" building, than they are about proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches are also supersessionist. Yet Christians anticipated the restoration of Jews to their land through Bible prophecy, centuries before that restoration ever began to take place.  

At least one small Jewish cult called the Neturei Karta is also anti-Zionist, but being located in places like Brooklyn and Britain, they don't live in Israel and thus have to suffer the onslaught of Islamic Jihad that the Israeli Jews, Christians and other Israeli non-Muslims do.

Many have been fooled by a Godless media into believing that Islamic terrorism has something to do with Zionism, which first requires ignoring the fact that Muslims follow one of the most consummate - and conveniently self-admitted - terrorists in the history of mankind. Thus the media obscures who the two groups in conflict in Israel actually are. The two groups being the Muslim's Islamic conquest of non-Muslims. For an otherwise honest person to deny that requires not only an abject ignorance to 1400 years of Islamic history, but also to the misery, mayhem and madness perpetrated by orthodox Muslims in so much of the world today, with tens of thousands of deadly Islamic terror attacks around the world just since 9-11. What does Zionism have to do with the two million killed or displaced by Muslims in the Sudan alone, or the ongoing murder of Christians and church burnings perpetrated by Muhammad's followers in Nigeria, or Hitler and the Islamic Mufti of Jerusalem joining hands in their shared goal of genocide of Jews?

Thousands of Deadly Islamic Terror Attacks Since 9/11


Whether intended or not, anti-Zionists have taken the anti-democracy and pro-sharia law side of the enemy of mankind, and joined in the Islamic conquest of the world - with Israel being just another front - and have taken the side of those who specifically target civilians, as they continue on in the imperialistic global conquest of Islamic Jihad.

The reason that Muslims are engaged in global conquest and subjugation of non-Muslims is, of course, because that is what the false prophet Muhammad commanded his followers to do.

Bukhari, V1 B2 #24 Narrated Ibn 'Umar: Allah's Apostle said: "I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform a that, then they save their lives an property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah."

Surah 9.29 Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. 30 The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth!

Surah 9.111 Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur'an....

Thus Islam is also ANTICHRIST.

1 John 2:22  Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: [(but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also].

The church is also split on the issue of the return of Jews to their land.
 
Zionists (URL)

Zionists include Christians and Jews that believe the increase of Jews in the land that YHWH gave His people through an everlasting covenant, is a fulfillment of prophecy, and thus is of the Lord. This group is certainly not historically limited to the Reformers and Puritans, and today includes perhaps 80 million evangelicals in the U.S. alone, and faithful Israeli Jews as well as faithful non-Israeli Jews from around the world.

Joining Christian Zionists is no shortage of non-Christians, that simply support the freedom, liberty and right to self-determination afforded by the democracy of the Israeli Jewish State, that is extended to all of its citizens. This is of course the very antithesis of Islamic sharia law of the neighboring oppressive, murderous Islamic slave states whose statutes may include the death penalty for apostasy and even for speech, with which the powers that be do not agree. Israel being the only free country in the Middle East that also shares our western values.

Futurists believe that Christ will return to pass judgment upon all mankind, while some partial preterists believe that Jesus will not return until fallen man has fixed the world, in spite of the spiritual condition we find that John's whole "world" continues to descend into. Full preterists  believe the resurrection of the dead and Second Coming of Christ was all fulfilled by the end of the 1st century AD.

 
Joining in Islamic Jihad (URL)

The impact of supersessionism or replacement theology-driven anti-Zionism, on those who are indoctrinated into it, is exampled by such as Jeremiah Wright joining Muslims in promoting the Iran government backed "March to Jerusalem", and by Presbyterian Church leaders that met with the internationally recognized terrorist organization Hezbollah and declared:

"We treasure the precious words of Hezbollah and your expression of goodwill toward the American people. Also we praise your initiative for dialogue and mutual understanding. We cherish these statements that bring us closer to you. As an elder of our church, I'd like to say that according to my recent experience, relations and conversations with Islamic leaders are a lot easier than dealings and dialogue with Jewish leaders."

More recently in "General Assembly Action": "Direct the Stated Clerk to inform current government officials that Christian Zionism does not represent the majority of American Christians and the faith of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)."
So after instructing the Church Clerk to inform "government officials" of their position, they laughably, transparently and hypocritically accuse:  "Christian Zionism "weds religion with politics.....".
Then after throwing bag after bag of stones at fundamental Christians, they tacitly admit to how their own institution is coming unglued over the issue, yet hypocritically conclude with the unctuous platitude: "In a time when the PC(USA) is beset with its own internal disagreements, we should resist the temptation to bolster our own self-confidence by throwing stones at others. Any judgments must be made with great care."

But the question that seems to beg is, how would Christians such as they "bolster our own self-confidence", by having joined the company of Muslims, Nazis, Soviets, and the KKK?

Which tree do you fruit? The tree of those of us that support the freedom, liberty, and right to self-determination of Israeli Jews, Christians, non-Muslim Arabs and Muslims, continuing to be protected by the democracy of the Israeli Jewish state? The fruit of this tree includes the majority of Israeli and western evangelical Christians, Israeli Jews, and the vast majority of Israeli non-Muslim Arabs.

Wikipedia on secular Israeli Arabs: "In contrast, a poll of 507 Arab-Israelis conducted by the Israeli Democracy Institute in 2007 found that 75 percent profess support for Israel's status as a Jewish and democratic state which guarantees equal rights for minorities. Israeli Arab support for a constitution in general was 88 percent.[31]"

Those of us that support the only Middle East country that shares our western values, and in which Muslims also enjoy more freedom, than they do in any Muslim controlled country on earth. Or do you fruit the tree of the anti-Zionists that helped to advance the Islamic conquest of Gaza, and subjugation of Christians who had formerly enjoyed freedom and liberty, that was protected by the Jewish state?

From WND (please read the full article at the link): "'Arab Spring' becoming Nightmare For Christians":
"Christians can In the case of Ayyad, who managed the only Christian bookstore in Gaza, his body was discovered riddled with gunshot and stab wounds."
"The witnesses said they saw three armed men, two of whom were wearing masks, beat Ayyad repeatedly with clubs and the butts of their guns while they accused him of attempting to spread Christianity in Gaza. The witnesses said that after sustaining the beating, Ayyad was shot by all three men."

From WND "Christians warned: Accept Islamic law":
Christians can only continue living safely in the Gaza Strip if they accept Islamic law, including a ban on alcohol and on women roaming publicly without proper head coverings, an Islamist militant leader in Gaza told WND in an exclusive interview."
The militant leader said Christians in Gaza who engage in "missionary activity" will be "dealt with harshly."
"Jihadia Salafiya and other Islamic movements will ensure Christian schools and institutions show publicly what they are teaching to be sure they are not carrying out missionary activity. No more alcohol on the streets. All women, including non-Muslims, need to understand they must be covered at all times while in public," Abu Asqer told WND.
"This missionary activity is endangering the entire Christian community in Gaza," he said.
Abu Saqer said Hamas "must work to impose an Islamic rule or it will lose the authority it has and the will of the people."
"His comments come after gunmen on Sunday attacked Gaza's Latin Church and adjacent Rosary Sisters School, reportedly destroying crosses, bibles, pictures of Jesus and furniture and equipment. The attackers also stole a number of computers."
