Download or read book Israelism in Modern Britain written by Aidan Cottrell-Boyce and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-31 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book unpacks the history of British-Israelism in the UK. Remarkably, this subject has had very little attention: remarkable, because at its height in the post-war era, the British-Israelist movement could claim to have tens of thousands of card-carrying adherents and counted amongst its membership admirals, peers, television personalities, MPs and members of the royal family including the King of England. British-Israelism is the belief that the people of Britain are the descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel. It originated in the writing of a Scottish historian named John Wilson, who toured the country in the mid-Nineteenth Century. Providing a guide to the history of British-Israelism as a movement, including the formation of the British-Israel World Federation, Covenant Publishing, and other institutions, the book explores the complex ways in which British-Israelist thought mirrored developments in ethnic British nationalism during the Twentieth Century. A detailed study on the subject of British-Israelism is necessary, because British-Israelists constitute an essential element of British life during the most violent and consequential century of its history. As such, this will be a vital resource for any scholar of Minority Religions, New Religious Movements, Nationalism and British Religious History.

Download or read book Political Violence in Judaism Christianity and Islam written by Jonathan Fine and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-03-26 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religious political violence is by no means a new phenomenon, yet there are critical differences between the various historical instances of such violence and its more current permutations. Since the mid-1970s, religious fundamentalist movements have been seeking to influence world order by participating in local political systems. For example, Islamic fundamentalism is at the heart of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, the Christian fundamental right wing has seen a resurgence in Europe, and Jewish fundamentalism is behind the actions of Meir Kahane’s Kach movement and the settler movement. The shift in recent years from secular to religious political violence necessitates a reevaluation of contemporary political violence and of the concept of religious violence. This text analyzes the evolution of religious political violence, in both historical and contemporary perspectives. Since religious political violent events are usually associated with the term “terrorism,” the book first analyzes the origins of this controversial term and its religious manifestations. It then outlines and highlights the differences between secular and religious political violence, on ideological, strategic, and tactical levels before comparing the concept of Holy War in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Lastly, it shows how modern radical monotheistic religious groups interpret and manipulate their religious sources and ideas to advocate their political agendas, including the practice of violence. A unique comparative study of religious political violence across Judaism, Islam, and Christianity, this text features many international case studies from the Crusades to the Arab Spring.
Download or read book From Pluralism to Extinction Perspectives and Challenges for Christians in the Middle East written by Sotiris Roussos and published by Transnational Press London. This book was released on 2023-07-16 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian communities are deeply rooted in the Middle East, starting their witness since the first centuries of Christianity. The last hundred years of Middle East Christianity’s history went through a series of profound crises. Displacement by war, genocide and occupation leading to loss, emigration and exile seem to be the main experience of Christianity in the modern Middle East. Against this background of displacement, Christians have sought to resettle and build anew when allowed. They have been able to make significant cultural, political and economic contribution to Middle Eastern societies. In the last thirty years they are again facing ominous threat of extinction. Entering the new millennium, they are confronted with major difficulties and transformations in world politics. From 2011 Christians particularly in Syria and Iraq, have been suffering death and destruction in the hands of extremist Islamist groups. The volume is a fresh approach to the study of the Christian communities in the Middle East examining their relation to state, identity and politics. It questions main presuppositions and perceptions regarding Christianity in the Middle East, casts new light on the living Christian communities in the region and reflects on their future role.

Download or read book The Left s Jewish Problem written by Dave Rich and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2016-09-06 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a sickness at the heart of left-wing British politics, and though predominantly below the surface, it is silently spreading, becoming ever more malignant. With three separate inquiries into anti-Semitism in the Labour Party in the first six months of 2016 alone, it seems hard to believe that, until the 1980s, the British left was broadly pro-Israel. And while the election of Jeremy Corbyn may have thrown a harsher spotlight on the crisis, it is by no means a recent phenomenon. The widening gulf between British Jews and the anti-Israel left - born out of antiapartheid campaigns and now allying itself with Islamist extremists who demand Israel's destruction - did not happen overnight or by chance: political activists made it happen. This book reveals who they were, why they chose Palestine and how they sold their cause to the left. Based on new academic research into the origins of this phenomenon, combined with the author's daily work observing political extremism, contemporary hostility to Israel, and anti-Semitism, this book brings new insight to the left's increasingly controversial 'Jewish problem'.

Download or read book Israel and the British Empire written by David Gibson and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-06 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Back Cover November 1917: as Allied forces swept into Palestine, the British War Cabinet issued the Balfour Declaration which promised to facilitate the establishment of a Jewish homeland. Imbued with a sense of superiority and supremely confident, Britain administered an Empire that extended across the seven seas. September 1939: on the eve of WW2, Britain treacherously abandoned the Balfour Declaration in an act of appeasement towards Arab nationalism, and severed the Jews' main escape route from the Holocaust. May 1948: Britain was forced into a humiliating withdrawal from Palestine. While Israel prepared for independence the British Empire, economically ruined by the cost of victory in WW2, began a spectacular collapse. How did the Balfour Declaration come about? Why did Britain renege on her commitments to the Jews? What were the dreadful consequences of this betrayal? Why did the British Empire crumble so spectacularly? David Gibson examines these questions in light of a conviction that the restoration of Israel is the fulfilment of Prophetic Scripture. He offers a compelling fresh perspective on historical narratives that have been twisted by those who seek to undermine Israel's right to exist. Product Description: Jerusalem, the eternal city, has always held a mystical significance for Jews which is mournfully expressed in the lamenting of the exiles in Babylon (Psalm 137:1-6). Jerusalem is the "heartbeat" of God's ancient people, no matter where in the world they reside. Jewish history and destiny are irrevocably and forever interwoven with those of Jerusalem. For nearly two millennia, the Jews scattered amongst the nations were praying that God would bring about their return to Zion at a time of his choosing. But the idea was little more than a pious aspiration until late in the 19th Century when, in mainland Europe, such nationalist ideals began gaining momentum. In parallel with this rising tide of Zionism amongst European Jews, British Evangelical churches were at the forefront of a movement that took seriously prophetic scriptures that told of the restoration of Israel and were praying ardently for their fulfilment. The influences of this movement were deeply rooted in British political circles at the very moment that Allied forces under the command of General Allenby were sweeping through Palestine during WW1. And so the destinies of Britain and Israel became intertwined in the providence of God during the birth pangs of modern Zionism. The British Christian Zionist movement was kindling the fire of modern Jewish Zionism just as Britain was on the cusp of taking control of Palestine. On 2 November 1917, the Balfour declaration was issued by the British government, promising support for the creation of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. The declaration was subsequently incorporated into a Mandate for British rule in Palestine after WW1. On 14 May 1948, as the leaders of the Jewish community in Palestine gathered together in Tel Aviv to declare the rebirth of the State of Israel, the British were forced into an ignominious withdrawal, accused of betraying the Jews by an act of political appeasement that had sealed the fate of hundreds of thousands of Jews by severing their only escape route from the horror unfolding in Europe. In an act of ruthlessly calculated political expediency on the eve of WW2, Britain callously broke faith with the promises made in the Balfour Declaration in order to mitigate the risk of the Arabs uniting with Nazi Germany, knowing that the price of this appeasement would be paid by the blood of the Jews. Jews and their supporters believed that the re-creation of the Jewish State in her ancient homeland was nothing short of a God ordained miracle, the fulfilment of Ezekiel's evocative vision of the valley of dry bones reforming into a vast living army (Ezekiel 37:1-14). So how would God judge Britain for her perfidious and morally bankrupt conduct?

Why have they been blessed so favorably over the nations that preceded them in history? The answer lies in the understanding and fulfillment of biblical prophecy." "God's promise to Abraham was not limited to a small and ancient people in the Middle East. It extends far into the future, and it is not limited by national boundaries." "Where can we find the descendants of Joseph, the lost tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh? This list of blessings eliminates most of the nations of the world as contenders. To find them we must ask: Which nations possess these blessings in our world?" "When we understand that the modern descendants of Joseph are the people of the United States and Britain, we see that over the past three centuries God has been true to His promises." "Though the United States and Britain do not appear in the Bible's prophecies of the end time under their present names, God hasn't ignored these nations. He identifies them in prophecy according to their ancestry. Most people simply haven't known where to look for them."
