Vatican Condems Zionists

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - The Vatican's envoy in the Holy Land and bishops from three other churches have launched a rare joint attack on the Christian Zionist movement, accusing it of promoting "racial exclusivity and perpetual war." ADVERTISEMENT Christian Zionists form a growing part of the pro- Israel lobby in the United States, the Jewish state's main ally. They believe the return of Jews to the Holy Land and establishment of Israel are proof of God's promises to biblical patriarchs. Churches in the Middle East often appear closer to the Palestinians, whose Christian minority makes up a substantial portion of their clergy in the region. The "Jerusalem Declaration on Christian Zionism" was signed by Latin Patriarch Michel Sabbah, a Palestinian, and by bishops of the Episcopal, Evangelical Lutheran and Syrian Orthodox Churches in Jerusalem. Many Christian Zionists are evangelical Protestants, and the declaration is a sign of a growing struggle between the groups. "The Christian Zionist programme provides a world view where the Gospel is identified with the ideology of empire, colonialism and militarism," said the declaration, accusing Christian Zionists of hurting hopes for Middle East peace. "We reject the teachings of Christian Zionism that facilitate and support these policies as they advance racial exclusivity and perpetual war," the declaration added. The three main Christian Zionist groups in Jerusalem said in a statement that they were concerned at the declaration's "inflammatory language" and that it was far from the truth. Christian Zionists stress Christianity's Jewish roots. Some back the movement to settle the occupied West Bank, the cradle of Jewish civilization, which Palestinians want as part of an independent state. INFLAMMATORY "We pray for peace. But we note with sadness that the present Palestinian government is totally dedicated to the destruction of Israel," the Christian Zionist groups said in their statement, referring to the governing Palestinian Islamist group Hamas. The prospect of Middle East peace talks has looked even more unlikely since Hamas's election victory in January. The group is formally dedicated to destroying Israel. "The problem in the region is not as simple as the Jerusalem Declaration makes out," the Christian Zionists' statement said. Some Christian Zionists believe that the return of the Jews to the Holy Land will bring about the end of the world and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Some also believe Jews themselves will have to become Christians or perish. The Christian Zionist groups in Jerusalem said they had no "thirst for Armageddon" and do not base their theological position on "end time prophecy." They called for dialogue with the clerics behind the declaration that condemned them. Christian Zionism is strongest in the United States, where support is much higher than in Europe or other parts of the world for Israel in its conflicts with the Palestinians and in its recent war with Hizbollah guerrillas in Lebanon. James Rudin, senior advisor on inter-religious affairs for the American Jewish Committee in New York, said there are "millions and millions of American Christians" who support Israel but who do not consider themselves Zionists. He said they represent a core of support far larger than those who base their backing of Israel on the Bible. (Additional reporting by Tom Heneghan in Paris and Mike Conlon in Chicago) |

 Coolness: 102830 | in the sum of our history, the Jews were more persecuted by the Christians than Muslims. Not that it was exactly paradise under Muslim rule, but the Jewish People got better treated from them than Christian rule.
The Holy Church only cares about itself and its doctrine...so any Christian groups whom(whose?) opinion and view differed from the Vatican will be chastised. |

Agreed. Still, Zionists look quite scary. But even if the Vatican condemns them, they'll still continue to exist and make pressure on the US government to support Israel... M'eh... This war isn't over. I wish it were. |

| Coolness: 92330 | Zionists are fucking scary for real, it's amazing how well some of them are brainwashed. It prolly has to do with telling them everything they ever wanted to hear abotu themselves or that if one part is true than all of it must be true stuff. Very well done whoever did that. Thanks a lot. I've known a couple of Zionists who preach their bullshit and for some reason the person they're talking about is always an exception to all their rules so that they can use their telling people what they wanna hear bullshit against people who aren't even fuckign jews to make those same people beleive in a cause that is directly discriminatory against their very own people becuase they are somehow one of them too, the special exception to the rule, making them even more special sicne they are an exception of an exception instead of just an exception. They don't even know that they're rascist. |
