American Complicity: The Evangelical Community

On Tuesday, October 18, Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis, Lisa Sharon Harper, and Dr. Bruce Fisk discussed the ways in which the American Evangelical Community is supporting and sustaining the occupation. According to a Pew Research survey from March 2022, 70% of evangelicals surveyed believed “God gave the land that is now Israel to the Jewish people.” This belief has contributed to the formation of several evangelical groups focused on building support for settlements throughout the West Bank. What is behind the overwhelming support for Israel from American evangelicals? How does this play a role in ongoing U.S. complicity in the occupation?
