Are Christian Zionists more Jewish than Liberal Anti-Israel Jews?
connecting with Christian Zionists has brought this into question. I feel more at home sitting with Christians who love Israel than with liberal Jews who reject Israel and support political agendas that threaten the Promised Land. My Christian friends share many of my dearest values, share my Bible, and share my love for the most precious thing in my life outside of my family: the land of Israel. Liberal Jews share none of that and have a painful disdain for all of these precious things. How can I call them ‘brother’? … liberal Jews only support Israel if it conforms to their liberal political agenda.
