Political analyst Philip Giraldi, founder of the Council for the National Interest, continues to expose the pro-Israel hypocrisy of American political leaders. No progress towards peace and justice is possible as long as deluded "Christian Zionists" including Donald Trump, VP Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo, John Bolton and Nikki Haley continue to turn a blind eye towards the ongoing atrocities of the Zionist colonizers and their wealthy backers.

"When the expected groveling before Bibi Netanyahu was concluded, the rest of the world learned that Trump is right on board the Netanyahu bandwagon when it comes to making sure that the Palestinians somehow disappear... Trump has already cut in half the money going to United Nations relief efforts helping Palestinian refugees, many of whom still live in camps seventy (70) years after the Jews stole their homes...

Pence and his co-believers, who are sometimes labeled 'Christian Zionists', consider Jews to be the 'Chosen People' of God, and Israel’s creation and survival are all part of the master plan... The re-creation of a Jewish state and the gathering in of as many of the world’s Jews as possible is seen [by them] as a critical step to achieve the Second Coming of Christ, which Pence and his associates fervently hope will occur soon... They stick like glue to their Scofield Reference Bibles* but apparently rarely venture into the New Testament part with its talk of compassion and forgiveness... "

UPDATE: Shortly before the Christian celebration of Easter, a large group of unarmed Palestinians protesting the theft of their land was gunned down by Israeli army snipers near the self-proclaimed border of the Jewish State. Dozens were killed and hundreds more were badly wounded, as Israeli spectators gathered to watch and celebrate. The Trump administration refused to condemn these atrocities, and moved to block a U.N. investigation. Giraldi writes:

"If you want to understand what the 'special relationship' between Israel and the United States really means, consider the fact that Israeli Army snipers shot dead seventeen unarmed and largely peaceful Gazan demonstrators on Good Friday without a squeak coming out of the White House or State Department... The offense committed by the Gazan protesters that has earned them a death sentence was coming too close to the Israeli containment fence that has turned the Gaza strip into the world’s largest outdoor prison...

Since June 8, 1967, when the Israelis massacred the crew of the U.S.S. Liberty, Israel has realized it could do whatever it wants, whenever it wants, wherever it wants, to anybody -- including American servicemen -- and the U.S. would do nothing... The major Israeli assault on Gaza in 2014 included vignettes of Israeli families picnicking on the high ground overlooking the assault, enjoying the spectacle while observing the light-and-sound show that accompanied the carnage...

Let me speak plainly...the current Israel is an evil place that Americans should be condemning, not praising. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should not be receiving 29 standing ovations from Congress, he should be rotting in jail.... That the United States is giving this band of racist war criminals billions of dollars every year is a travesty..."

The "iron wall" policy of the Jewish State was defined by Zionist revolutionary Vladimir (Ze'ev) Jabotinsky, founder of the Betar youth movement, the Irgun terrorist organization, and godfather of the Likud party. This policy of terrorizing the "natives" to the point where "there is no hope left" has been carried out by his devoted successors, including Menachem Begin, Ariel Sharon, and Benjamin Netanyahu.

"My political relationship is characterized by two principles. First: the expulsion of the Arabs from Palestine is absolutely impossible in any form. There will always be two nations in Palestine -- which is good enough for me, provided the Jews become the majority... I am prepared to swear, for us and our descendants, that we will never destroy this equality and we will never attempt to expel or oppress the Arabs. Our credo, as the reader can see, is 'completely peaceful'. But it is absolutely another matter if it will be possible to achieve our 'peaceful aims' through peaceful means..."

"We conclude that we cannot promise anything to the Arabs of the Land of Israel or the Arab countries. Their voluntary agreement is out of the question... Zionist colonization...must either be terminated or carried out in defiance of the will of the native population. This colonization can, therefore, continue and develop only under the protection of a force independent of the local population -- an 'iron wall' which the native population cannot break through. This is, in toto, our policy towards the Arabs... As long as there is a spark of hope that they can get rid of us, they will not sell these hopes."

-- Vladimir (Ze'ev) Jabotinsky, "The Iron Wall" (1923)

Jabotinsky's claim that his Zionist comrades would never try to "expel or oppress" the Arab natives was clearly a bald-faced lie. The so-called Christian Zionists are oblivious to the fact that the modern State of Israel is a Masonic creation, sponsored by the Rothschilds and their allies, which has been opposed by orthodox Jews since its inception a century ago:

"Zionism is a political movement, created almost entirely by 'non-religious' Jews... [It] is the transformation of Judaism from a religion and spirituality to a base nationalism. It is a materialistic goal to have a land, army, etc., removing the Almighty out of the equation. Orthodox Jews have opposed the ideology of Zionism since its inception and the State of "Israel" from the day of its ratification...

The existence of the State of Israel is in direct contradiction to the teachings of the Torah which forbids the establishment of a 'Jewish state' and commands Jews to remain in exile until released from that exile by the Almighty Himself, without any human intervention, at which time all nations of the world will live together in peace... The mere existence of the state of 'Israel' and the actions that emanate from it is the greatest cause of the exacerbation of anti-Semitism throughout the world."

Christians need to read what Jesus said about the Pharisees. Like the prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah before him, he exposed their corruption, calling them hypocrites, liars and "sons of the devil". His new covenant community was based on a direct relationship with the Creator, without the corrupt priesthood and their Babylonian traditions. For this, the "elders of Zion" arranged to have him killed, and their successors have been trying to rebuild the temple ever since.

"Christian Zionists see the promises of identity, land and destiny as part of an ongoing covenant God has with the Jewish people. In this book (Zion's Christian Soldiers) I unpack this question and show that Christian Zionism is a recent manifestation of a heresy refuted by the New Testament... Here is a simple four page introduction to the main biblical passages that answer and refute the most common Zionist assumptions about God’s purposes for Israel and the Church.”
