The Embassy Move is Not a Favor for Israel
Published at 08:29 on 14 May 2018
It is a favor for domestic Christian fundamentalists (a core part of Trump’s base), who believe that:
- The Old Testament of the Bible is a title deed that allows the Zionists to occupy and claim land by force, and
- Israel needs to occupy that land (all of it, from the river to the sea) in order to fulfill the prophecies in the New Testament’s Book of Revelation.
That it is a favor for Christian fundamentalists (and not Zionists) perfectly explains why this pastor was invited to speak at the embassy’s opening.
