Organizations Challenging Christian Zionism

1. Jewish Organizations Critical of Right Wing Christian and Jewish Zionist Positions
The Christian Zionist political agenda is in opposition to the desires of most Jews in both the U.S. and Israel. Consistently in most polls, the majority of Jews recognize the necessity of a political settlement with the Palestinians that would give them a viable state on the West Bank and Gaza Strip (in exchange, of course, for peace!). Most "settlers" on the West Bank are not religious settlers, but instead economic settlers who have moved there because of generous government incentives to do so. They would be happy to leave their settlements. There is a large Jewish "peace group" that favors drawing back to the 1967 borders.
Jews Against Zionism
Zionism, by advocating a political and military end to the Jewish exile, denies the very essence of our Diaspora existence. We are in exile by Divine Decree and may emerge from exile solely via Divine Redemption. All human efforts to alter a metaphysical reality are doomed to end in failure and bloodshed. History has clearly borne out this teaching.

Quote: Though we say this world is vain and sinful, we are too fond of it; and though we hope for true happiness only in Heaven, we are often well content to stay longer here on earth.

How true!

Who do we suppose we are kidding when we say we are heavenly minded, yet, it would seem, that our affections are set on things on the earth and not on things above.

We have it so easy.

I think some hardships and sufferings will make us more like Jesus.

Who wants to go first?

God bless.
