Why Evangelicals Should Not Support Israel or Its Endless War

Israel launched a significant military operation against Iran starting June 13, 2025, named Operation Rising Lion, targeting over 100 sites, including nuclear facilities, missile sites, air defense systems, and military leadership. The strikes aimed to disrupt Iran’s nuclear program and military capabilities, with key targets like the Natanz uranium enrichment center reportedly damaged, causing centrifuges to spin out of control. Iranian sources claim 224–320 deaths, mostly civilians, while Israel reports 24 deaths from Iranian counterattacks. Senior Iranian military commanders, nuclear scientists, and officials, including the intelligence chief of the Revolutionary Guards, were killed. Iran retaliated with missile and drone attacks on Israeli cities like Tel Aviv and Haifa, killing at least eight and damaging infrastructure.

The timing is suspicious. President Donald Trump, in his second term, was on the verge of finalizing a nuclear deal with Iran, a diplomatic coup to replace the Obama-era JCPOA with stricter terms on uranium enrichment and inspections. This deal, a cornerstone of Trump’s pledge to reduce U.S. entanglement in Middle Eastern wars, promised to de-escalate tensions and stabilize the region. Yet, Israel’s unilateral strike, launched without U.S. coordination, derailed these efforts, forcing Washington into a reactive stance.

In a 2007 Democracy Now! interview with General Wesley Clark, he revealed a 2001 Pentagon memo outlining U.S. plans to topple seven regimes: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran. This was no defensive strategy—it was a roadmap for engineered wars, a Deep State blueprint to reshape the Middle East for American hegemony. The evidence is stark: Iraq was invaded in 2003 under false pretenses of WMDs. Libya fell in 2011, Syria was destabilized by proxy wars, and Somalia and Sudan faced relentless interventions. Lebanon’s Hezbollah has been targeted repeatedly, softening the ground for future moves. Now, Iran is next.

The Deep State’s timeline is deliberate. The chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021, abandoning billions in equipment, was no blunder—it was a strategic pivot. The Deep State needed resources freed for Ukraine, where Russia’s 2022 invasion triggered a U.S.-led proxy war, funneling over $100 billion to Kyiv. As Ukraine’s conflict stalls, with Russia consolidating gains, the Deep State shifts focus to Iran, the final target on Clark’s list. Israel’s strike was the opening gambit, designed to provoke retaliation and justify U.S. intervention. This is not speculation—it’s a planned escalation, as outlined in think tanks like Brookings’ 2009 “Which Path to Persia?” report, which detailed using Israel to strike Iran under U.S. deniability.

Israel is the U.S. military-industrial complex’s enforcer, a proxy to foment war and sustain profits. The U.S. funnels $3.8 billion annually to Israel, not for charity but to ensure a reliable trigger for conflict. Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Boeing thrive on the chaos, reaping trillions from endless wars. Israel’s actions—whether bombing Gaza, invading Lebanon, or striking Iran—align with this agenda, cloaked in “self-defense.” The October 2024 attack on Iran, timed to sabotage Trump’s diplomacy, proves Israel’s role: a Deep State tool to undermine U.S. foreign policy and lock America into another quagmire. This is the Deep State’s game: use Israel to ignite wars, then exploit the fallout to justify military spending and global control. The American people are pawns, fed lies about “allies” while the war machine churns.

EVANGELICAL DELUSION: ISRAEL IS NOT A PROPHETIC FULFILLMENT

While the Deep State manipulates geopolitics, American evangelicals like Owen Strachan fuel the fire with blind loyalty to Israel, conflating the modern state with Biblical prophecy. This is theological folly. My prior work at Insight to Incite, a three-part series called Not of Abraham, lays bare two truths: modern Jews are not Abraham’s physical descendants, and their Talmudic Judaism is alien to his faith. Christians have no Scriptural mandate to support Israel, yet many remain deceived, propping up a warlike state under a false divine banner.

Modern Israel’s population, dominated by Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews, lacks a genetic link to Abraham. My article, Unrelated to Abraham, cites genetic studies, including work by Israeli researcher Eran Elhaik, showing Ashkenazi Jews, who make up a large portion of Israel’s population, descend from Khazar converts and European admixture, not Semitic Hebrews. Sephardic Jews, while Mediterranean, also show significant non-Semitic ancestry, also detailed in Not of Abraham. DNA evidence confirms that more than 98% of modern Jews are not Abraham’s seed, undermining claims of a “return” to the Promised Land. The Biblical promise to Abraham’s descendants (Genesis 12:3) cannot apply to a people unrelated by blood, a fact evangelicals ignore.

Spiritually, the disconnect is starker. Not of Abraham explains that Talmudic Judaism, rooted in the Babylonian Talmud, is a post-Temple reinvention, not the Mosaic faith of Abraham. Mosaic Judaism centered on Torah obedience and sacrificial worship, pointing to Christ’s fulfillment. The Talmud, compiled centuries later, prioritizes rabbinic traditions, legalism, and esoteric teachings, often contradicting Scripture. It includes anti-Christian sentiments, like calling Jesus a sorcerer and imagining him in hell, burning in feces. Modern Israel, largely secular, adheres more to Zionist ideology than any Biblical faith. Evangelicals like Strachan, swayed by dispensationalism—a theology popularized by the Scofield Bible—equate this state with God’s covenant, ignoring its spiritual bankruptcy.

Dispensationalism is a 19th-century heresy that claims Jews, regardless of faith, are God’s chosen people entitled to the land. This ignores Galatians 3:29, which declares believers in Christ, not ethnic Jews, as Abraham’s heirs. Evangelicals’ unconditional support for Israel, fueled by this theology, blinds them to its warlike actions, like the Iran strike. They cheer aggression, mistaking it for divine will, while ignoring the Deep State’s manipulation. This is mindlessness, a betrayal of discernment for a nation-state that is neither Abraham’s kin nor his faith. Christians have no reason to back Israel’s wars, yet they do, deceived by a myth that serves the war machine, not God.

ISRAEL’S TERRORIST ORIGINS AND BETRAYAL OF AMERICA

Israel’s history reveals a nation born in violence and sustained by betrayal, not a faithful ally. Its founding was marked by terrorism, and its actions against the U.S.—from the USS Liberty attack to espionage—prove it cannot be trusted. Understanding Israel’s history will dismantle the myth of friendship with the United States.

In the 1940s, Zionist groups like Irgun, Haganah, and Lehi (Stern Gang) waged a terror campaign to establish Israel. The Irgun’s 1946 bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem killed 91 people, including civilians, a calculated act to expel the British. Lehi assassinated British officials, like Lord Moyne in 1944, and sent letter bombs to London. The 1948 Deir Yassin massacre, where Irgun and Lehi slaughtered over 100 Palestinian villagers, was designed to terrorize Arabs into fleeing. These groups weren’t outliers; their leaders, like Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir, became Israel’s prime ministers, and their tactics shaped the IDF. Israel’s museums glorify these “freedom fighters,” revealing an ethos rooted in terror, not righteousness.

Israel’s betrayal of the U.S. is equally damning. On June 8, 1967, during the Six-Day War, Israeli forces attacked the USS Liberty, a U.S. Navy ship in international waters, killing 34 American sailors and wounding 171. The assault, involving torpedoes and napalm, was deliberate, aimed at sinking the ship and blaming Egypt to draw the U.S. into war. Declassified documents confirm Israel’s intent, yet the U.S. government, pressured by pro-Israel lobbies, buried the incident. Israel’s espionage is relentless: Jonathan Pollard’s 1985 conviction for passing U.S. secrets to Israel compromised national security. In April 2025, Israel arrested its own citizens for spying for Iran, exposing its double-dealing. The FBI has repeatedly caught Israeli operatives stealing U.S. military and tech secrets, yet Washington’s support never wavers.

Israel is no ally—it’s a liability, exploiting U.S. aid while undermining American interests. Its terrorist roots and treachery, from the King David Hotel to the Liberty, reveal a nation driven by self-interest, not loyalty. Evangelicals who champion Israel ignore this history, propping up a state that stabs its “friend” in the back.

BIBLICAL CALL TO PEACE, NOT WAR

Scripture warns against meddling in others’ disputes. Proverbs 26:17 says, “Whoever meddles in a quarrel not his own is like one who takes a passing dog by the ears.” Christians who cheer Israel’s wars, like the Iran strike, grab a rabid beast, ignoring Biblical wisdom. Proverbs 20:3 adds, “It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife, but every fool will be quarreling.” Evangelicals like Strachan, eager for war and blindly loyal to Israel, are Scripturally ignorant, conflating Talmudic Judaism with the Mosaic faith of Scripture. Christians should crave peace, not conflict, yet Israel’s history shows it seeks neither.
