Mint Press News – by Whitney Webb
The largest pro-Israel organization in the United States is not composed of Jews, but of Christian evangelicals, with a total membership of 7 million, more than 2 million more members than the entirety of the American Jewish community.
Members of this organization, Christians United for Israel (CUFI), met in Washington on Monday, attracting thousands of attendees and featuring speeches from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Secretary of State and former CIA Director Mike Pompeo, Vice President Mike Pence, and National Security Advisor John Bolton. CUFI’s leader, controversial evangelical preacher John Hagee, has met with President Donald Trump several times and was recently part of an exclusive White House meeting in March on the administration’s upcoming “peace plan” for Israel and Palestine.
CUFI is but one of many organizations throughout American history that have promoted the state of Israel and Zionism on the grounds that a Jewish ethnostate in Palestine is a requirement for the fulfillment of end-times prophecy and necessary for Jesus Christ to return to Earth — an event Christians often refer to as “the Second Coming.”
While organizations like CUFI and its predecessors have long seen the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, and the later Israeli victory and conquest of Jerusalem in 1967, as the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy, there is one prophecy that this sect of evangelical Christians believes is the only thing standing between them and the Second Coming. There are estimated to be more than 20 million of these Christians, often referred to as Christian Zionists, in the United States and they are a key voting bloc and source of political donations for the Republican Party.
As was explored in previous installments of this series, these Christian Zionists, much like religious Zionist extremists in Israel, believe that the Al Aqsa mosque and the Dome of the Rock must be replaced with a Third Jewish Temple in order to usher in the end times.
These two groups of different faiths, since the 19th century, have repeatedly formed an opportunistic alliance in order to ensure the fulfillment of their respective prophecies, despite the fact that members of the other faith are rarely if ever on the same page in their interpretations of what occurs after the temple’s construction.
This alliance, based on a mutual obsession with hastening the coming of the Apocalypse, continues to this day and now, more than at any other time in history, these groups have reached the heights of power in both Israel and the United States. Parts I and II of this exclusive series explored how this branch of religious Zionism has come to dominate the current right-wing government of Israel and has led Israel’s current government to take definitive steps towards the destruction of the Al Aqsa mosque and the imminent construction of a Third Temple.
Now this installment (Part III) will show how this movement’s Christian counterpart in the United States, Christian Zionism, has likewise become a dominant force in American politics, particularly following the election of Donald Trump to the presidency, where this apocalyptic vision is a major driver behind his administration’s Middle East policy.
Yet, this fire-and-brimstone vision of the end times has long been a guide for prominent figures in American history and the American elite, even predating Zionism’s founding as a political movement. Thus, Christian Zionism’s influence on Trump administration policy is merely the latest of a long list of examples where prophecy and politics have mixed in American history, often with world-altering results.

“….Christian Zionism, has likewise become a dominant force in American politics, particularly following the election of Donald Trump to the presidency, where this apocalyptic vision is a major driver behind his administration’s Middle East policy.”
The ‘major driver’ behind Chump’s M.E. policy is Yahoo.
This is a very long but excellent article for anyone with ANY questions about Zionism history or it’s agenda (most Trenchers know this stuff already, but it’s a good one for any who don’t, or non-Trenchers).
#1, I took your advice, and glad I did. Thanks!
I actually came across it separately from galen, Katie, and asked anyone to send it in on a comment earlier. She came back and said she had sent it in before my comment, but it hadn’t been posted yet at that time.
It is one of the best I’ve come across on the subject… glad you liked it.
FIND ME A “CUFI” IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. CHRISTIANS MY EYE!!
THESE PEOPLE ARE HEATHENS……
HERE;
WHO GIVES A RATS REAR END. IT IS O B V I O U S. GOD PLANTED THE ARAB PEOPLES IN THE MIDDLE EAST. THE “PALESTINIANS” OWN PALESTINE. THEY WERE BORN THERE.
“WHAT IF YOU WERE BORN IN ISRAEL?”… SOME MIGHT SAY.. ISRAEL IS A FRAUD!!!
HOW CAN ONE POSSIBLY “BELIEVE GOD” ENOUGH TO CREATE A COUNTRY, YET FALL SHORT OF FINISHING THE DAMN BOOK THAT “GAVE YOU THE AUTHORITY” TO DO SO???
IF YOU DON’T “FINISH THE BOOK”, OR IF YOU “CHANGE THE BOOK”. WELL, THE BOOK DAMNS YOUR SOUL TO HELL….FOR EXAMPLE;
Rev 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
Rev 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE(cps mn), and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. THE NEW TESTAMENT REDEFINES “ISRAEL” AS THE LORDS CHURCH. OUTSIDE OF THAT THERE IS NO LEGITIMATE “ISRAEL”.
THERE IS ONLY ONE ISRAEL, OR “CHURCH”;
WHICH IS, “THE BODY OF CHRIST”
Eph_4:4 There is ONE BODY(cps mn), and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;IN ACTS 2;38 IS FOUND THE ENTRANCE TO THE BODY, OR “CHURCH”. FOLLOW PETERS DIRECTIONS TO THE LETTER. HE WAS GIVEN THE “KEYS TO THE KINGDOM”. YOU WILL FIND THEM THERE.
HE WAS NOT A “POPE”. IT IS A CRYING SHAME, THAT THIS COUNTRY WAS IN TRUTH, FOUNDED ON “JUDEO KRISCHANITY”.
EVEN MY EX DAD IN LAW, A BAPTIST PREACHER SAID THAT THE JEWS DIDNT NEED JESUS…….THIS WAS 30 YEARS AGO.
Jews do not get a dispensation – all must believe in Christ to enter Heaven. Plus, Israel was planned back in 1918, and the Balfour Declaration sealed the fate of Palestine. Theodore Herzl and other zionists planned the creation of the Jewish State one hundred years ago. The zionists sacrificed millions of jews in WWII just so they could justify the State of Israel. How many other nations do we know of that are this racist? Kind of ironic the way they treat other people after their treatment at the hands of the Nazis. Christian Zionists are fake Christians because they do not follow the scriptures as handed down by God. Plus, if you really study the wording in the Bible, you will see that the Second Coming of Christ actually happened in Christ’s own time, as he foretold to his disciples. The Bible is not prophecy for future generations; it is “for” us, but not “about” us. Example: REV. 22:12 – “And, behold I come quickly; and my reward is with me…” REV. 22:10 – “And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.” Christ was not speaking to us, he was speaking to his followers. How would the disciples have understood these statements if they were meant to take place 2000 years in the future? They could not even comprehend that Christ was going to rise from the dead. Think about it. Also, know that the followers of Christ are the Chosen People; this is the New Covenant, as stated in the Scriptures. God Bless.
“The zionists sacrificed millions of jews in WWII just so they could justify the State of Israel.”
Absolutely 100% false, Paula… biggest HOAX ever perpetrated upon the human race.
Stop falling for the banana in the tailpipe…

I get what you are saying. My comment was actually to accentuate the fact that the jews killed were killed for the agenda of creating Israel, thus they were sacrificed for Zionist interests. I also have seen many articles that dispute the number killed in the camps. I am not disagreeing with what you are saying. Unfortunately, saying anything that disagrees with the official narrative is labeled hate speech, so I am kinda leery of backlash.
“… to accentuate the fact that the jews killed were killed for the agenda of creating Israel, thus they were sacrificed for Zionist interests.”
As long as you understand that the jews that actually WERE killed for that Zionist agenda were NOT killed by the Nazis, but rather by the Bolshevik Russians & the Allies AFTER the war ended. Those were NOT ‘death camps’, they were work camps, and the jews were actually treated very well in them, contrary to the lies that were told afterwards. The fact that the so-called ‘Holocaust’ doesn’t even appear in encyclopedias until AFTER 1964 speaks volumes in and of itself.
All told, somewhere around 300,000 jews died in those camps, but NOT by gas chambers (NEVER EXISTED) or ‘ovens’. They died of malnutrition & diseases AFTER the supply lines were cut in Germany.
Whole article very well worth the read, telling me things I did not know. Thanks.
“As was explored in previous installments of this series, these Christian Zionists, much like religious Zionist extremists in Israel, believe that the Al Aqsa mosque and the Dome of the Rock must be replaced with a Third Jewish Temple in order to usher in the end times.
WHY? “CHRISTIANS”(the biblical ones) NEED NO TEMPLE;
1Co_3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
2Co_6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
WE NEED NO JEWISH TEMPLE TO FULFILL ANYTHING.. WHEN THE CHURCH OBEYS THE NEW TESTAMENT, ALL IS “FULFILLED”, AND WE LOOK UP , KNOWING OUR “REDEMPTION IS NIGH”.
THIS IS DESPICABLE!!!!! 😡
