In this webinar we will expose the racist, anti-Muslim, and anti-Jewish underpinnings of Christian Zionism, its influence, and how to counter it. Christian Zionists are pillars of Trump’s base and a linch-pin of his election strategy.

This political moment calls for bold action and a reimagining of priorities. For far too long the U.S. has been diverting resources to bankroll racism, violence, and oppression—here in the U.S., in Palestine, and around the world.  The Movement for Black Lives and the Freedom is the Future Policy Platforms have outlined a powerful path forward, defunding police and militarism and redistributing those funds to meet community needs like housing and education. Meanwhile Christians United for Israel, CUFI, the largest Israeli lobby claiming to have gained 3 million members in the last year alone, continues to advocate for increased U.S. military funding to Israel and racist policies such as annexation of the West Bank and the relocation of the U.S. Consulate to Jerusalem.  CUFI's support of Israel’s most racist and colonial policies is based upon Christian Zionism. Understanding the influence of Christian Zionism on US politics and how to combat it is critical to dismantling white supremacy and achieving Palestinian and collective liberation. 

This webinar is the lead up to FOSNA's virtual action Counter CUFI: Invest in Justice on June 28th starting with a worship service at 2pm and an action at 6pm (CT), occurring simultaneously to CUFI's virtual summit. More information here.
