Får en kristen glädjas åt och stöda judarnas återkomst till sitt hemland?

 Frågan kan verka absurd men det finns de som anser att så får man inte göra.

Jerusalem's Armenian church leaders say Christian Zionism is 'damaging,' warn of harm to unity

The Armenian Apostolic Patriarchate of Jerusalem, in a Saturday statement claiming to be from the Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in the Holy Land, condemned Christian Zionism as a “damaging” ideology.

ICEJ challenges church leaders’ claim that Christian Zionism is 'damaging ideology'

ICEJ Response to Patriarchs’ Statement denouncing Christian Zionism

The International Christian Embassy Jerusalem takes issue with the recent Statement from the Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in Jerusalem on Unity and Representation of the Christian Communities in the Holy Land (January 17, 2026) concerning its charge that Christian Zionism is among the “damaging ideologies” being advanced by unnamed local individuals to “mislead the public, sow confusion, and harm the unity of our flock.”

As Christians, we adhere to a Zionism that is purely biblical in origin, belief, scope and practice – reflecting our sincere faith convictions and not shifting political objectives. The promised restoration of Israel in modern times enjoys ample biblical credentials in both the Old and New Testaments. The Jewish return to the Land of Israel both reflects and affirms the faithful nature and character of God to always keep His sworn covenant promises, thereby strengthening the Christian faith rather than damaging or undermining it...

…The respected Catholic prelate Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, Archbishop of Vienna, once expressed his support for Biblical Zionism, maintaining that it was doctrinally important for Christians to recognize the Jewish people's deep connection to their ancestral homeland, and adding that Christians should rejoice in the Jewish return to the Land of Israel as a fulfilment of biblical prophecy. We could not agree more....

Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Nicolas Maduro, och Hugo Chavez hjältar och förebilder för palestinska myndigheten

 Top Palestinian Authority honors given to Putin, Xi Jinping, Maduro, and Chavez: "Star of Palestine" to enemies of the West

The Palestinian Authority's highest decoration, known as the Star of Palestine, is not awarded to just anyone. Outside of Arab heads of state, this award has been given by the PA only to its closest ideological allies – all notorious dictators in the anti-Western axis: Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Nicolas Maduro, and Hugo Chavez. The award—a sign of the PA's deep ideological affinity with China, Russia, and Venezuela—has not been given by the PA to any leader of a Western democracy.

“Israel is doomed to perish” – Palestinian Authority admits its goal

Ephraim D. Tepler and Itamar Marcus|Jan 18

The Palestinian Authority consistently indoctrinates Palestinians to believe that Israel's demise is inevitable and is an inherent form of justice. This message is delivered by senior PA leaders and is reinforced repeatedly across official PA media, including news programs, children's education, political commentary, poetry, and international forums broadcast to the Palestinian public.

This doctrine has been articulated again recently by Abbas Zaki, a senior Fatah leader and member of the Central Committee, the PA's ruling party:

Fatah Central Committee member Abbas Zaki: "In the end, the winner is the one who remains on the land... and those who will remain are the ones with the idea, the idea that says there is no escaping the fact that this land will be liberated, and that the land of peace cannot be based on revenge. Israel is doomed to perish."

[Arabi 21, London-based Arab news website, Jan. 9, 2026]

Zaki's statement presents Israel as a temporary presence and Palestinians as the enduring owners of Israel's land, so that justice will ensure Israel's disappearance. This is a foundational belief promoted systematically by the PA.

PA/Fatah education teaches children to see Israel as temporary:

"Palestine fell under the Zionist occupation [in 1948], which continues today… The occupation will cease to exist just as what was before it ceased to exist..."

"All of the invaders were defeated, and Palestine returned to be free and Arab."

"[Israel] the evil occupation state… this artificial state… It is artificial because it is foreign..."

"The liberation of Palestine will only be achieved through armed struggle."

"The Zionist invaders will go to the garbage can of history."

"Palestine will be liberated and purified from the occupation's (i.e., Israel's) defilement.

"Palestine is destined for full liberation (i.e., all of Israel)… from the yoke of Zionist colonialism"

"Algeria's experience [of the French leaving] assures that the Jewish settlers in Palestine will disappear in the end."

[Fatah's Waed Magazine for children ages 6-15]

On official PA television, Israel's demise is conveyed as fact. PA TV narrators repeatedly describe Jewish presence as a transient colonial episode destined to end, with this specific script reiterated every two years on average:...

Leading Religious Zionist rabbi: Extremist settler violence must be stopped from the pulpit

Rabbi Mosheh Lichtenstein, co-head of Yeshivat Har Etzion in the West Bank settlement of Alon Shvut, discusses the challenges facing his community and the country as a whole

- ...Now, if you ask me what I think the Torah wants from us, the fact that I’m in hesder says it all, and I obviously do not accept their attacks upon the ability to both learn [Torah] and serve [in the army], or to observe mitzvot in the army.

-... In recent times, the general public has often heard about the Religious Zionist community because of the hilltop youth and the violence connected to it. What is your perspective?

The violence that is going on is horrible and is morally and ethically wrong. We can debate exactly where the line between violence and self-defense runs, but there is no doubt whatsoever that a lot of [what is happening] is violence.

...   What is needed for the future of Israel?

We must reduce the polarization in society. There needs to be much more dialogue, much more willingness to compromise, also internally. We are now reading the Book of Genesis, and the main message is that you can overcome external threats, but internal divisions send you to exile.
