| description | This article explores the critical response of the Christian Right
towards the Israel-Palestine conflicts by examining two events: the
2002 Road Map Peace Plan and the Annapolis Conference. It seeks
to examine the critical role of the Christian Right in American foreign
policy during the George W. Bush administration, with particular
regard to Israel and Palestine. It argues that the Christian Right
has consistently demonstrated its earnest concern about American
foreign policy towards Israel, particularly the present Israel-Palestine
conflict resolution. However, the paper seeks to establish that, after
9/11, the Christian Right extended its support for Israel beyond its
traditional theological partiality and that such support was offered
under a banner of American national security and the War on Terror.
However, the study also shows how mainstream evangelicals are
often divided in their opinions on the issue of the Christian Right’s
unequivocal support for Israel. |
