This page was created in April 2009 by transfering to this new article a portion of the section "Disapproval by other Churches" from the article Christian Zionism. Elfelix (talk) 05:58, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Opinion re "anti-Zionist"

[edit]

The unsourced opinion about the Declaration being "anti-Zionist" appearing at the end of the lead is not attributed to anyone. Hence it is moved to new section "Another opinion". Its lack of identification or verification argues against its inclusion, especially in the lead. Elfelix (talk) 19:09, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • No one has contributed a source to substantiate the "Another opinion" section. After six months removal is appropriate unless a source is added.
  • Further the Declaration does not criticize Jews or Israel, much less demonize them. Au contraire Jews and Israel are included in the prayers.
  • The Declaration does specifically criticize a Christian group which originated in the 1960s from a particular Christian interpretation of scripture concerning a catastrophic "end times" of global war and destruction. This Christian group, at least until recently, has supported a militant movement in Israel that seeks territorial expansion, and this particular political position is also by inference criticized by the Declaration as an obstacle to peace and reconciliation between Israel and Palestine. Many Jews both in Israel and in America also criticize this militant political position, as noted in the article. Elfelix (talk) 17:43, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
