A new documentary film, Til Kingdom Come, has recently been released, which sheds light on what its director calls an "unholy alliance" between evangelical Christians in America and Israel that led to a change in the reality of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict during the administration of former US President Donald Trump in favor of Tel Aviv .
The new documentary, directed by Israeli director Maya Zinstein, reveals the intertwines of politics and prophethood that link American evangelical Christians with hard-line Israeli Jews, as well as the tremendous political support and money that Jewish settlers make from America's evangelists, which have enabled them to continuously seize West Bank lands and turn them into settlements .
In an interview with the New York Times, the filmmaker says that it was clear that Trump made promises to evangelical Christians during the 2016 presidential campaign, but no one expected that he would deliver on his promises as quickly as they actually happened.
"I remember a meeting with an evangelical leader who told me to be patient, maybe by late 2019 or early 2020 Trump will recognize Jerusalem as the capital (of Israel), but he (Trump) did so after 3 months, and moved the embassy 6 months later," Zinstein added.
It also clarifies that "Evangelical Christians are the only significant force outside Israel that openly supports the building of settlements, and no one else does."
According to the New York Times report, evangelicals seek, through this support, to fulfill the prophecy that many of them believe, that the second coming of Christ cannot happen without the return of Diaspora Jews to the Holy Land.
However, this prophecy does not end well for the Jews, as it states that they must accept Christ, or else they will be killed and immortalized in Hell.
The film shows how Christian Zionists and Israeli right-wingers agree to disagree about "the end of the world" while continuing to cooperate - and sometimes even exploit each other - in a way that makes resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict more difficult.
Shocking facts
The film will be shown in the United States next Friday, and its broadcast in Israel has sparked a wave of guilt and soul-searching in Israeli circles, as it revealed how a priest fawns for poor families in a Kentucky city to donate to an Israeli charity.
Zinstein, 39, an Israeli of Russian origin, says some of the donors are destitute people in one of the poorest states in the US.
She explains the situation of some poor families in America who are asked to donate to Israel, and she says, "I cried so hard. The weather was freezing and I was wearing a coat, and I saw children in a house without windows emerging without shoes. Children appeared on their feet with rat bites. And some Israelis who watched the movie asked." Asking if they can send money to these people. "
The Israeli director explains that Christian Zionists believe that donating to Israel and building settlements helps them improve their lives, adding, "It is amazing to see all these rich Christians and Jews sitting together, and hear some Christians give testimonies such as: I used to have a small shop in Cleveland before I started." Donating to Israel, and today I have a huge chain of stores, just because I started donating to Israel. "
The director concludes by saying that she seeks, through her documentary film, to convey a message to evangelical viewers that the Israelis cannot be reduced to the novel that came in the Bible, and that the Israelis and Palestinians want to live in peace, and the Palestinian people cannot bear the dire consequences only because the religion of the Evangelists says that God told Abraham that This land belongs to the Jewish people, as in the end "we will suffer the consequences in this world before the next."
