Summary

Rev Dr Sizer is a retired Christ Church Vicar and a member of Jewish Network for Palestine. Author of “Christian Zionism: Roadmap to Armageddon” and “Zion’s Christian Soldiers: The Bible, Israel and the Church”. The conversation explores the following important questions: - What is the relationship between the secular nationalist ideology of Zionism and the theological concept of the restoration of the Jews to the Holy Land of Palestine? - How did evangelical Christians and Jews manage to unite over support for Zionism and Israel despite the vast theological, political, and cultural differences? - How did Christian Zionism use the Western Judeo-Christian identity to entrench the geopolitical realities of the settler colonial project in Palestine? - Why have many Western religious institutions been silent over the genocide in Gaza or indeed have sided with Israel?
