Understanding the Zionist phenomenon becomes a good deal easier when viewed through a Gnostic dualist cosmology. In that context, the Monad or true God whom Jesus called “Father” is not identical with Yahweh. Gnostic writers associated that entity with the Demiurge, the being who fashioned the material order.

Marcion advanced a similar argument, namely that the violent and juridical god of the Old Testament could not be the same deity revealed by Jesus. In that sense, both Christian and Jewish Zionism can be understood as inadvertently aligning themselves with a false theological image of God rather than the transcendent Source Jesus proclaimed. I have written several pieces on this theme on my Substack.

Thanks for another excellent article, Paul.

I would also like to add to your essay:

The deliberate killing of a child is the worst possible crime among our species, for it denies and destroys the Future that each and every child holds! As such, it is deserving of the most severe punishment possible!!
