Publicity for the event states:
‘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 favour one people group over another but instead promotes peace and reconciliation for both Jews and Palestinians.

It is so sad that people are willing to go against a movie that is calling for peace and justice. No one can take the hate out of their hearts but Jesus, we need to pray for them. Thank you all for your amazing work.

And we have serious concerns about Seisimic Shock too. For a year he anonymously slandered me almost on a daily basis as wello as other Christian leaders necessitating his university confiscating his computer and reporting the evidence to the police.
