part of this theology, the theology of christian zionism, which teaches, for example, that christiansuld support israel because the bible teaches that. and this is often part of a larger end times theology in which they view the presence of jews on this earth as... don't get me wrong, i'm for christians and jews, like all religions that come together to understand each other, but a serious problem arises when we make a certain religious group the object of our theology, and even eschatology, and treat it... accordingly, again, without really understanding what is happening on the ground, without even understanding how complex the state of israel is, how secular it is, how much it oppresses the palestinians, violates international law, committing sometimes documented human rights violations against palestinians, including palestinian christians. in my opinion, christians should advocate for peace, and again, i would like them to put that energy and money into initiatives that bring peace, rather than continuing to unconditionally support israel without holding it accountable, which is

but if you touch one christian, harm one church, prevent one christian from practicing their religionshed. the us congress will not give you a single dollar. it doesn't seem difficult. i have to ask specifically about the church in gaza, which was damaged by an airstrike. who did it? what do we know about this? they decided to stay there, thinking we don't want become refugees in the south where the unknown awaits us, we don't want to leave, many of them are descendants of the 1948 crisis, nagabs, many of them are descendants of refugees, so they thought, we don't want to go through the same thing again, one of them said me, if i die, i'd rather die in the church, they thought the church was safe, but it wasn't, about 10 days after the war started, the orthodox church was hit by an israeli bomb and 18 people died, including nine children, palestinian christians, nine palestinian christian children, 18 in total, as i said, including relatives, church members who were devastated by this strike, we were all devastated by this because, frankly, we thought the church was safe, and i'll mak

christianity. it is a it is a it is not even a perversion of christianity it is a completely different religion and it should be called as such it can i just jump in with it. all right. has the danger of two people of theological training on the desk at one time. so. but i'm to put on my sociologist hat actually to just have a little caveat here. so i agree. so we're david barton. for those who don't know he's, like this, like quack guy set himself up as historian has been going around like he's written all kinds of crazy books that one that got thomas nelson pulled because so full of errors. but he is like a mainstay in many evangelical churches like saying that this is a christian nation. right. kind of saying that the founders said this is a christian nation. so he's total fraud. charles in and all of that. i'm going to complicate it a little bit. i'm going to submit that. yes. david barton, bad history trying to do that. what what i'm going to submit also is that there's actually some actual hi

say a word about the christians who live there, the ancient christian community in the gaza strip onitself. and because no one said a word, the christian population of this region experienced great suffering. in october, the greek orthodox church in the gaza strip suffered an airstrike. we are now showing you a video. the church lies in ruins. at least 17 people died that day. yet this was not the first time that christians had died as a result of fighting in the region. remember the church of the nativity in iflien. almost 20 years ago, a clergyman was killed there with american weapons. but the christian clergy in our country remained silent. and you may be asking yourself: wait a minute, if christian leaders don't protect christian lives, why should they? do we even need them? that's a good question. so, you might think that. stop it, the same thing is needed in ukraine. let's defeat putin quickly, instead of using 80% of our aid for humanitarian purposes, we should use 80 or 100% to destroy russian forces, if that is our goal. to be clear, from a theological point of view, christ

christians.ense that they can have a proximity to power. that is the first thing. the second is nostalgia. let's hope that we can go back to the times like the 1950s or something. or americanism as it was called in the 1950s or back when it is 2008 election. it was going to be america first. there have been all of these kinds of bits. right? i think one of the things we really have to consider is that these are people who don't want immigrants. they don't want any difference. they want a homogenized america. it means being white and christian. >> if we did not have these big education and career opportunities, we would be home raising those children. >> exactly. >> it would be exactly like it was with the rnc rebuttal . we would be in our kitchens. we would be it nice wives, we would not speak up when we were spoken to you unless it was our husband speaking to us. so these are the kind of things that people are attracted to and want. when you start to talk about the appeals to the republican part

it was christian, my friend christian.as this guy really about to expose the most dangerous political conspiracy of the century? had already -- or had he fallen into some kind of paranoid fantasy? so i went along with him as he tried to finish what danny casolaro started. and we uncovered the secrets of the octopus. >> [indiscernible] >> this is not your thing. you don't know this world. >> hey, christian. what is the deal? >> he said i can come out to his property. i cannot bring my phone, and i have to be blindfolded on the way out there. host: zachary treitz, you sounded a little skeptical when this started. guest: yeah, maybe that is my role in christian's life. the beginning of this story was a little bit of a wet blanket, just because a lot of the stuff that danny was looking into and that christian at the time was looking into was so hard to pin down, seems very mysterious, and seems a little -- i don't know whether these people were great sources or not. a lot of people in this world seemed pretty dangerous, so i w

is not anti-christian. different religious entity wants to assert that power to write precisely. so if we open the door to christian nationalism, there's no reason to think that we then won't have battles for other faiths who want to control whether they want to control a city, a state, or the federal government. the impact of christian nationalist ideals is already being felt in people's lives. one recent example, the alabama supreme court ruled it illegal to destroy a frozen embryo, saying it is a human and upending ivf treatments. their chief justice, tom parker, used the bible for h legal opinion. that's where you get issues with christian nationalism, where you get issues with make america a christian nation again, when there's nothing biblically that calls for us to do that. this union of church and state has created a spiritual chasm in church. his pastor, chris anton, was fired in 2023 for not condemning lgbtq youth in a christian reform church. and so whenever we make politics our priority, i think

is really sad as you said in one of the oldest christian communities in the world, a thriving christiannumber of christians since the seas began, life there was already difficult before october seventh as to the brutal seizure, was under. many people forget that this is the home of christianity. christianity came from here to the west, and it's really unfortunate that we're getting closer and closer to a time when even the holy land, this is our biggest nightmare, might turn into museums that spoke of ancient times, struggling to survive right now, under these very difficult political occupation, and oppression. >> you mentioned how christianity spread to the west, christianity is considered one of the most prominent religions in the west, yet many conservative christians in america and western europe have remained quiet when it comes to what palestinian christians and what palestinians broadly are enduring right now. how do you view this silence and support for israel when it comes at the expense of palestinian christians, do you see this as a hypocrisy of your faith? >> there were som

christian: messy indeed.been speaking to the former mp and edwina currie. >> i have my head in my hands somewhat. i am no stranger to scandal in the house of commons but it is getting more and more bizarre. it is really vy troubling. christian: does the nature of politics in the threat of scandals bring to fortunes at the ballot box mean they are slow to get ahead of corruption or sexual scandal before it appears in the newspapers? >> yes. i think that is probably a fair comment on it. plus of course if somebody makes a complaint to party headquarters, whether it is labour or tory, and they don't seem to be getting an instan response, then sometimes they will go to the press. and that is understandable, though, shall we say, regrettable. it happens on the labour side as well. been suspended.our mp's have it takes longer for the police to investigate if there has been a crime. of course it does. justice can be slow, but it is often necessary. when it is just a scandal and you think, no, you should not be doing

christian: thank you for that.on a busy night to westminster, our correspondent chris mason is standing by, perhaps dreading that late-night finish. the prime minister talked about the need for a regular rhythm of multiple flights which implies he doesn't think one flight will move the dial. risk: you know what i say to pete, these are what these lights are all about, a bit of midnight oil being burned. we may be in that territory in the next couple hours. it's interesting that you talk about that line of arguments from the prime minister, something whispered privately by people to me in the last few weeks. what is going on here, they want to create a set of images that continue to appear on tv screens and social media feeds, all the rest of it, all the way through the summer and the countdown to the german election expected probably in autumn, that gives a rolling impression that this policy is up and running. and they then hope that that translates into the key thing that all of this is about -- and there has bee

killed, they are blown up christian churches, how can a christian be for using taxpayers' money for... murder , imprisonment of other christians, i don't understand how this is possible, and you won't understand, it's called hypocrisy, that's what it's called, it's absolutely the opposite of everything, what our christian faith teaches us is against what the bible says. you know, tucker, if we look at biblical teaching, the bible teaches us not to take on debt because we become slaves to the borrower, and yet when americans woke up this morning, they... found out they were $34.6 trillion in debt and it went up by $40 billion while they were sleeping and it's absolutely contrary to our christian faith, contrary to what the bible teaches us, but funding murder every day is funding this war , continuation of this war, recommendations for its further continuation, our cia there in ukraine is managing this entire war against russia, russia, nuclear powers, this is already a foreign country. yes, everything i saw, everyone i talked to, this will happen next week. he will suspend the refere

[cheers and applause] >> stephen: one of the most important things, the biggest part of their job that's hard to prepare for his international relations. that's domestic policy in the united states that were his people overseas. a second home presidency, what about that worries our allies around the world? >> christiane: for instance apart from this issue which is vital to people all over the world they don't want to get caught up in the same nonsense that's happening here in some quarters. for instance, nato. right? nato was something that actually the majority of americans support america in nato, and yet if you remember, donald trump played fast and loose with nato. >> stephen: talked about getting out of it. >> christiane: very trans

the christian people. and one for the elder chosen people of god, the jews, to fast forward to today. and you have the majority of evangelicals in the united states. now believing that god has in fact 2 covenants, one with christians. and one would choose most christians around the world see this as a kind of like a on up ending of historic christian teachings. right? because things changed after jesus was, you know, after jesus is coming and that's why we got the new testament. but they're saying no, no. busy don't look at that. they say they're not against, by the way, the jewish faith, people who believe in the way that most christians do. they just believe it's a different face. the judaism is a different faith than christianity, but those like mike johnson, who think differently say no is we'll say is tied to and determined by the bible, the christian bible per site. even the new testament, i guess these are the people who are dispensation was put another way they are christian zionists. and that is w

: how can you pay americans with taxes for the persecution of christians?you know, and i want to remind you for the third time that neither of the two of us is orthodox, i don’t really understand this, i’m not defending my church here, and neither are you, but why are christian leaders lawmakers in the united states ? the states won’t stand up... what’s curious is that i defended this church 40 years ago in one of our first cases, where we opposed the kgb, which was trying to seize one of the churches in canada, so i studied orthodoxy for several years, so there is no reason that christians of any denomination should not stand up for... i think it’s time for us to understand that we need to invest in our institutions, because our government has forgotten the concept of the rule of law, we imposed sanctions on everyone who looked or even smelled like a russian, even if they were opponents of vladimir putin, we lost the rule of law, by the way, ukrainians impose sanctions on people in order to steal their assets. this is why they silenced all their political
