Though many fail to recognize it, Christians who unconditionally support the actions and agenda of the Jewish religious sect known as Zionism while also claiming to believe in and embrace the teaching of Jesus Christ are walking contradictions who need to do some serious soul-searching on this important matter.
While the Bible, including Romans 11, explains that God is not yet done with unbelieving Israel, there is a time and a place for all that in the next dispensation. Right now, Christians are to follow Jesus, the Way, who does not advocate for the genocide being perpetrated by the Zionists currently leading Israel.
There will come a time when God returns His focus back to majority-unbelieving Israel to deal with them once the fullness of the gentiles is complete, but that time has not yet come. It is thus erroneous for Christians in the current age of grace to put their full support behind unbelieving Israel's murderous actions against its Palestinian neighbors.
"This makes a problem for the Western governments that pretend to support human rights and to deplore war crimes," writes Paul Craig Roberts about the matter.
"It also makes a problem for American evangelicals known as 'Christian Zionists.' Genocide is not something that can be reconciled with the teachings of Jesus. The evangelicals will have to decide between worshipping Israel and worshipping Jesus."

Jesus says love your enemies; Zionists say annihilate them
Even though God is not yet done with unbelieving Israel does not mean that Christians are to treat the Jewish people as better than the Palestinian people or any other people, for that matter.
Acts 10:34 clearly states that God is not a respecter of persons. St. Paul the Apostle also emphasizes in Galatians 3:28 that in Christ Jesus, there is no longer Jew nor Greek, or between Jew nor gentile, the point being that everyone is the same in the church age, and required to go through the same door, Jesus Christ, in order to find salvation.
Conversely, the Zionists march to the beat of their own drum. Their antichrist doctrines run contrary to everything found in the New Testament as instruction for Christians, yet many Christians wrongly put Israel, as it is variously defined, on a pedestal above all.
This is called idolatry because it places Israel above Jesus Himself as the object of worship and esteem. Zionism is also racism because it communicates to the world that Jewish lives are more valuable than Palestinian or Arab lives, which is not what Jesus taught.
Keep in mind that not all Jewish people are Zionists. In fact, many reject Zionism while others have converted to Christianity. The latter are effectively grafted back into the promise, while those who reject Jesus, Jewish or otherwise, have a different thing coming to them.
The situation in Gaza right now is considerably more serious than past incidents involving aggression between Israel and its Palestinian neighbors. Unlike past incidents, this one involves a full-scale genocide of the entire Gaza Strip, which is why it is receiving worldwide attention.
The Christian response, in this writer's review, is to take neither side, but rather to side with the widow, the orphan and the innocents wherever they live, in Israel, Gaza, or elsewhere.
"Not all of Israel is Zionist," Roberts further notes. "Netanyahu has minority support. The outcome could be different for Israel than Netanyahu and his U.S. neoconservative allies intended."
