| Summary: | One of the most important phenomena in US politics is Christian Zionism. The
term Christian Zionism is related to unity of a large part of Protestant
beliefs and the Zionists movement. The religious motives of US Protestants
have coincided with the Jewish intention to go back to Palestine. In this
way, Protestant religious motives could only be achieved by using political
pressure on the US government. The goal of this pressure is to turn the
foreign policy of Washington into a struggle for reconstruction and
maintenance of the state of Israel. That is why many people wrongly believe
that the US policy in Middle East is a product of the Jewish lobby. However,
the US foreign policy in Middle East is a product of religious beliefs of
Christian Zionists and the Jewish lobby is just using this fact for its own
purposes. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije, br. 179008] |
