If Jesus Christ were to re-appear in the "Holy Land", he'd be droned and blown to bit without any chance of resurrection!

Thank you, Roslyn. Once upon a time I was a Christian Zionist. And you have nailed so many of the issues with it. The aching for Armageddon, the obsession with a spiteful Old Testament God. The issue you describe so thoroughly as taught hatred of Arabs is definitely part of it. Anti-Arab racism in the U.S. is (obviously) enormous. European fear and hatred of Muslims goes back centuries. But Christian Zionism is a cult, having really nothing to do with a fellow named Jesus from Nazareth, and more to do with Christian Prosperity cults. As you know, cult-followers do not think, do not decide, do not reflect. They don't need to. Their cult leaders can do that for them. Ergo, do they not exist? Because in their non-thinking they do act, giving money, votes, unconditional support to the genocide. "To know and not to act is not to know." --Lao Tzu
