Doesn’t anyone in the United States realize 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.
I think this denialism has mostly to do with the fear of appearing antisemitic. Trump has launched a coordinated intimidation campaign specifically designed to silence anti-genocide voices, labeling any criticism of Israel’s actions in Gaza as antisemitism to shut down debate and dissent.
On top of that, many in the Jewish community have grown up surrounded by misinformation and false narratives that equate supporting human rights for Palestinians with hating Jewish people. I’ve had many Jewish friends—who don’t even realize that I’m Semitic myself—call me out for expressing these views, accusing me of being antisemitic when, in reality, I’m standing against genocide and for the dignity of all people.
We also need to focus on the Christian Zionists who are really driving this agenda. Many don’t realize that Trump, Stephen Miller, and the MAGA movement are not working to protect Jewish people; they are pushing an extremist Christian Zionist ideology that views the mass extermination of Jews as part of their prophecy to bring about the “Second Coming” and the “End Times.” They are using Israel and weaponizing Jewish communities for their own apocalyptic agenda, and in reality, their long-term goal is the elimination of Jews, not their protection.
We need to separate criticism of a government’s actions from hatred of a people. Standing against ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and mass murder should never be confused with bigotry. The fact that it so often is reflects how deeply these false narratives have taken hold in our society—and how urgently we need to challenge them.
The Christian Zionist Agenda: Ethnic Cleansing as Prophecy
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.
Evangelical Christianity and Israel
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,” especially influential evangelists aligned with the Republican Party, support for Israel is less about political strategy and more about its supposed role in biblical prophecy. In this worldview, war is not something to be avoided but embraced as a divine necessity—an inevitable and even celebratory step toward Jesus’ rule from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The fate of Jews and Palestinians is, to put it mildly, seen as collateral damage.
