Backgrounder on Christian Zionism (4 yrs old but still relevant) is a short discussion of the connections between Zionism and Apocalyptic Evangelical Fundamentalist Christian Zionism. Without meaning to offend Paleoconfederates, of whom there are probably no living examples, and true confederates, who tend to believe in traditional WASP America and the Constitution, I call Hagee and his ilk Neoconfederates primarily because the Scofield Bible really does seem to grow out a specific current of post-apocalyptic Confederate irredentist thinking.
Note that because the Reconstruction from the standpoint of Southern Whites was for all intents and purposes a hostile foreign occupation that created a major divide between Northern and Southern US politics and economics, I use terms like Neoconfederate, Paleoconfederate, and True Confederate on the analog of the Neoconservative, Paleoconservative, and True Conservative terminology, which sometimes appears in analysis of American conservative thought.
The following blog entries may be worthwhile in discussions including (white) Christian Zionists: When I was in college, Robert Fogel's book entitled Time on the Cross created a major controversy. Whatever one's opinion of Fogel's claims, everyone can agree that African American slaves represented valuable capital both to the Southern owners and often to Northern banks that held mortgages.
In contrast, from the standpoint of basic Zionist ideology, Palestinians are simply at best valueless vermin either to be driven out or to be exterminated.
Both

- African Americans, who have the experience of vicious racism comparable to Zionism in its dehumanization,
Because corrupt Jewish Zionist manipulation of the US political and economic process threatens every true American, hatred of Zionism can serve as the cathartic that will heal the nation, for all patriotic Americans of every race should be able to unite in support of the Palestinian victims of Zionist aggression, occupation, and genocidalism in the ME as well as against the Zionist subversives that form an enemy fifth column right here in the USA.
Because Israel Advocates use a pseudo-religious Holocaust cult to distract from the damage that Zionism does to America, Holocaust: Gentile Deaths Don't Count! is a good place to start an examination of the deleterious role of Holocaust mythology in popular culture. Sphere: Related Content
