What is Christian Zionism, and why does it so urgently matter? Christian Zionism is a widespread and well-funded movement within Christianity that has gained increasing influence over US foreign policy in recent years, especially in relation to Israel/Palestine and Iran. At present, the conflict in Israel-Palestine continues with no solution, with the plight of their peoples growing more dire day by day. There are also serious concerns about U.S. military action against Iran, with the potential for unleashing widespread destruction through the Middle East and beyond. Understanding why Christian Zionists welcome these events and work to hasten the deterioration of conditions in the Middle East is essential to understanding the challenges of peacemaking in this region.
