"Christian Palestinianism ... The Inverted Mirror Image Of Christian Zionism" (videos)
Below is a very disturbing insight into the malicious phenomenon dubbed "Christian Palestinianism" as exposed by Dr Paul Wilkinson, of Hazel Grove Gospel Church in Stockport, Cheshire and author of For Zion’s Sake: Christian Zionism and the Role of John Nelson Darby. In this talk a couple of years ago (but no less valuable for that) he demonstrates the political revisionism, replacement theology, and repugnant teachings of organisations like Sabeel that promote a movement in which "The Holocaust is resented, not remembered," that ignores the violence to which Israel is subject, and that aims to portray Jesus not as what he was, a Jew from Judea, but as a "Palestinian born under occupation".
His lecture on this topic opens with the song "Freedom for Palestine"that's become the backtrack to many an Israel-demonising presentation, and among the teaching aids used in his lecture is a cameo appearance by that obsessive crusader against Christian Zionism, Stephen Sizer.
Hat tip: P.H.
And in this lecture, entitled "A Biblical Response To Stephen Sizer," Dr Wilkinson does a superb job of tracing and countering the anti-Israel Anglican vicar's noxious views:
we seem to be swimming against a tide of delegitimization that will destroy not just Israel but Western Civilization - it is sometimes depressing because the only way to truly defeat these people is to show that Islam is the problem and that those that support it, as a faith and as a political movement are traitors to Western civilization - such black and white arguments are the mirror image of what is being done to Israel and her global supporters. Intellectually, and spiritually we are living through terrible times.
