The current trends in relationships between several evangelical groups and Zionist organizations have opened the pathways for them to collectively unleash political pressure in the US that shields Israel from accountability in its continued violations of international law. The odd political peace pacts that have led to normalization of relations between some Arab states and Israel are coming at the expense of Palestinian rights.
The Palestinian struggle against settler colonialism, occupation and dispossession has been used by Christian Zionists to aggressively drive Islamophobic discourses around the world. The time to address these forces is more urgent today than before. With 62% of the world's Muslims living in Asia, conversations among progressive religious groups and civil society are an imperative to counter the deadly designs of Christian Zionism in Asian churches and within other settings. Christian Zionists eye the region as a region to swell Islamophobia and conflict.
The webinar reinforced the role that progressive religious groups must play in advancing peace, justice, and dignity for the Palestinians.
