Reply To: Why is it important for Christians to keep the sad history of Christian antisemitism in mind when responding to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the present?

You made an excellent point on the importance of historical awareness when engaging with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Recognizing that Zionism emerged in part as a response to centuries of Christian antisemitism underscores the deep moral responsibility Christians bear when speaking about the conflict today. The long history of persecution which including legal, social, and theological discrimination has played a significant role in shaping Jewish aspirations for safety and sovereignty. Remembering this helps prevent these harmful patterns.
