Christians for a Free Palestine is hosting another community call this Wednesday, April 15 at 8pmET. Register here.

For more than two years, the U.S. government has enabled and normalized genocide against Palestinians in Gaza with impunity, and yesterday morning, President Donald Trump made overtly genocidal threats “that a whole civilization” could die in order to achieve his military goals in Iran. 

The U.S. and Israeli governments have already committed enormous harm in Iran, including war crimes. Even as a fragile ceasefire in Iran begins, Israel is continuing to bomb Lebanon, dropping bombs in 100 locations in just 10 minutes today. Over the past month, U.S. and Israeli actions in the region have displaced millions of people from their homes.

For years, the Christian Zionist lobby paved the way for this moment. According to them, any violence, war, and destruction can be justified and even celebrated if it is seen to help usher in the end times. That’s why Christian Zionists are cheering on the ethnic cleansing set to take place in Lebanon as a step toward “Greater Israel,” and hailing the war in Iran as the Battle of Armageddon. As Christians, we oppose genocide and ethnic cleansing against any people, and believe in a future for our world grounded in true and just peace— not false peace held up by domination, violence, and empire. 

Our April 15 Community Call, “Not Our End Times” will focus on how Christian Zionism has fueled the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran and how we respond. Join us to hear from:

• Joy Metzler, a military defector and conscientious objector
• Izzy Mustafa, campaigns coordinator with Adalah Justice Project
• Tommy Airey, a leader with CFP-Detroit, and member of CFP’s Theo-Politics Team.

We hope to see you on April 15 at 8pm ET / 5pm PT to build community, make sense of this moment together, and continue creative, nonviolent resistance to Christian Zionism, including preparing for this summer’s action to counter Christians United for Israel (CUFI), the largest Zionist organization in the country. 

Let us work together toward the “world that ought to be.”
