Today we examine Christian Zionist influence on the development of US policies concerning Israel/Palestine. Christian Zionists form a dominant portion of the so-called Christian Right. They are a major player in the Evangelical Movement, and a power player in the well-organized pro Israeli Lobby in the United States. 40% of the current Republican Party identify as Evangelicalsâ¦40%. So when we think about the base of the pro Israeli movement in the US we cannot think it is just Jews, it also includes the massive Christian religious right. Christian Zionists' clout in Congress is a major factor in the refusal of our elected Representatives to take a stand against the human rights abuses of the Israeli Government. An excellent forum on this issue was held at the Harvard Divinity School last October, and is the focus of our program this morning.
This Week In Palestine (a weekly part of Truth and Justice Radio) is an award-winning three-quarter-hour segment of news from Palestine and discussion of issues relevant to the Palestinians' struggle for freedom from Israel's brutal military occupation and colonization of their homeland. It speaks from the point of view of Palestinians and those who care about them. It's a regular part of Truth and Justice Radio, aired Sundays 6-10am ET on WZBC 90.3FM, Newton, MA, streaming live and archived for two weeks at wzbc.org; TJR's website, truthandjusticeradio.org, has a link to This Week In Palestine archives back thru 1-6-2008; editions are also accessible by navigating through our playlists. (At this important time, TJR airs occasional Palestine coverage IN ADDITION to that provided by This Week In Palestine.) We hope you'll write to us at tjradio@fastmail.com if you rebroadcast our work, or have questions or comments.
