Has the archbishop ever heard of Islamic jihad? ...His people live among Muslims, and he knows they’ll be attacked if he says anything about jihad. He also knows that he can criticize Zionism all day long and he will not be in any danger for doing so. And so he lambastes Israel freely while never uttering a critical word against the most successful and far-reaching colonialist project in history, the jihad that conquered, Islamized, and Arabized the entire Middle East, North Africa, and more. And as for the good archbishop’s charge of “genocide,” why is he accepting Hamas’ casualty figures? Hanna did not spare Huckabee. According to Hanna, the incoming ambassador to Israel “alleges that there is no such thing as Palestine or a Palestinian people, as though he has not read history—or refuses to acknowledge it—that Palestine exists, and its people exist, whether he likes it or not.” This is off the mark. Neither Huckabee nor anyone else actually denies the existence of “Palestine.” But throughout history, it was the name of a region, not of a people. Can the archbishop produce even one instance of anyone referring to “the Palestinians” before the 1960s? One would think they would have been mentioned at the time of the founding of the state of Israel and the first war against it in 1948. Yet there is nothing. Why not? ... The Fourth Ecumenical Council was actually held in Chalcedon, not Nicaea, and not in the fourth century AD, but in the fifth. These may be minor quibbles, but Hanna is claiming to know the history of the region and contending that Huckabee doesn’t, so it matters that the archbishop is getting basic facts wrong...What about the role of jihad in preventing that freedom and peace?

The liberal SPLC pandering to CAIR lobby casts him (R.S.) as “hate.”

He's not "criticizing" or "lambasting" Israel.
He's making a theological statement. Which is keeping with the vast majority of Christian theology -- Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant -- for the past 2,000 years. A theology that holds that the Church IS New Israel.
The Bad Theology of Our Israel Über Alles Foreign Policy.
Dispensationalism is a recent theological program that traces its origins to John Nelson Darby (1800-1882), an Anglo-Irish minister connected with Plymouth Brethren (a low church nonconformist movement)... Prior to Darby’s influence, orthodox Christians believed that all of God’s promises were fulfilled in Christ...
Consequently, orthodox Christians believed pre-Darby (and still believe today) that Israel and the church are one in Christ. They point, for example, to Paul’s teaching in Romans 11 where he describes the Gentiles as a wild olive shoot grafted onto Israel. Paul’s point, of course, is that there is only one olive bush that Jehovah tends and nourishes.
Dispensationalism gained steam through the “prophecy conference” movement and publication of the Scofield Study Bible in 1909, which contained myriad footnotes supporting Darby’s view of scripture...
