If you’re curious about the driving force behind US support for Israel, it’s ironically rooted in Evangelical Christianity. Many Evangelical Christians believe they can hasten the “second coming of Christ” by bringing about the apocalypse. According to their interpretation of the Bible, this involves Israel reclaiming Jerusalem, Jesus returning, and ultimately eliminating all Jews. For numerous “Christian Zionists,” particularly influential evangelists aligned with the Republican Party, their support for Israel is deeply tied to its role in the supposed end times: Jesus’ return, a final battle at Armageddon, and Jesus ruling from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. In this worldview, war is not to be avoided but embraced as something inevitable, desired by God, and even celebratory. The fate of Jews and Palestinians is, to put it mildly, seen as collateral damage.
Christian Zionists anticipate and hope for a war to end all wars, leading to a Christian-dominated world that they believe will bring peace by vanquishing evil. According to their interpretation, only those who accept Jesus as their savior will benefit from these predicted events, while nonbelievers — including Jews and Muslims — will not survive them.
The establishment of Israel in 1948 was seen as a fulfillment of end-times prophecy, specifically regarding the second coming of Christ. This message was often preached in churches, with the belief that end-times prophecy was unfolding before their eyes and that God required their assistance to accelerate the process toward an apocalyptic Armageddon, ultimately leading to Christ’s return. Those who opposed Israel were often viewed as aligning with “the Antichrist,” and according to biblical prophecy, their fate would be dire. This belief isn’t confined to fringe groups but is a widespread evangelical belief influencing real political events in the US and Israel-Palestine.
It’s noteworthy that many of these Evangelical Christians also played a significant role in influencing the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Currently, approximately 50 members of Congress convene weekly for a Bible study session. Previously, these meetings took place at the White House. Ralph Kim Drollinger, a former professional basketball player turned clergyman, spearheaded the “White House Bible Study Group.” This study group, sponsored by 10 cabinet members, held weekly meetings on Wednesdays during the Trump administration.
The Christian Zionist Agenda: Ethnic Cleansing as Prophecy
I’m starting to realize that hardly anyone in the United States knows the truth: the U.S. now has boots on the ground in Gaza, participating directly in genocide. Under President Trump, a private military force disguised as a “humanitarian” organization has been deployed, with American citizens in combat roles actively shooting unarmed, starving men, women, and children who are desperately seeking aid.
There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind: what you are witnessing is an ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people, orchestrated by a white supremacist, racist, Evangelical Christian, antisemitic U.S. government. This is not simply about geopolitical interests or security; it is a religiously fueled, extremist project.
Trump, along with his “supervisor of racism” Stephen Miller, are leading figures among Christian Zionists who believe they are fulfilling prophecy by bringing on the “Second Coming” and the “End of Times.” This belief system calls for an apocalyptic war and the eradication of Jews and Muslims from “The Holy Land,” to clear the way for Jesus’ return on the Temple Mount.
In this worldview, the systematic starvation, mass displacement, and extermination of Palestinians is not a tragedy to be avoided, but a goal to be achieved. This ideology, once confined to fringe pulpits, has captured the highest levels of U.S. power and is now directly shaping foreign and military policy in Gaza.
Christian Zionists are weaponizing religion to justify genocide, using U.S. military might and taxpayer funding to implement policies rooted in ethnic cleansing. This is not an abstract theological debate—it is the material reality of bombs falling on children, food blockades starving families, and bullets killing people at aid lines.
And it is happening right now, in your name, with your money.
