On Monday at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, Porter Speakman Jr. will screen his film, “With God on our Side,” an examination of the theology of Christian Zionism, then after the film he and Steve Walt will have a conversation about it.
Per Speakman: “Christian Zionism teaches that because 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.” The event will be held at 6:30 PM, Land Auditorium in the Belfer Center, 79 JFK St. Cambridge.
