Info

With God On Our Side takes a look at the theology of Christian Zionism, which teaches that because the Jews are God's chosen people, they have a divine right to the land of Israel. Aspects of this belief system lead some Christians in the West to give uncritical support to Israeli government policies, even those that privilege Jews at the expense of Palestinians, leading to great suffering among Muslim and Christian Palestinians alike and threatening Israel's security as a whole. This film demonstrates that there is a biblical alternative for Christians who want to love and support the people of Israel, a theology that doesn't favor one people group over another but instead promotes peace and reconciliation for both Jews and Palestinians.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
splumer The formation of the state of Israel dates back to the founding of Zionism in the late 1800s, and the fervor for a Jewish homeland grew in the inter-war period until 1948. This documentary does a great job of examining this issue, and raises some serious questions about the legality of Israel's formation, and the legality of Israeli settlements on the West Bank. It also interviews John Hagee, the evangelical pastor who preaches that the restoration of Israel is necessary for Jesus' return. Unfortunately, once those issues are discussed, this doc veers into feel-good territory where it says that if only Christians in Israel and the occupied territories could come together, everything would be peachy. They miss the elephant in the room: religion, and especially fanatic religious belief, is what created the mess in the first place, and religion is what continues to be a barrier to a peaceful solution. Do yourself a favor and don't bother watching the last 20 minutes.
