“Both Sides” and “Innocent Civilians”: The Psychological Effect of Language in the Gaza War

[Guno צְבִי]

The “both sides” mantra appeals to our hearts but betrays the logic of our brains. It is a cognitively inconsistent mantra that fails to assign responsibility and has permeated public discourse to create an ugly reversal of reality where Israel is accused of genocide, Israelis and Jews are harassed and attacked openly, and where political leaders parrot “solutions” that are just temporary respites on the road to what the Palestinian world has long sought and openly demands in Arabic: The elimination of Israel as a Jewish state. Period.

The evidence is extensive. It is in Palestinian culture that educates children to hate Jews, to glorify violence, to aspire to displacing their neighbors and “returning“ to places they claim rightfully belong exclusively to them. In the eyes of demonstrators chanting “free Palestine,” it means only one thing. It is also in the words of international political leaders who decry the violence of October 7 but then express sympathy for the people who still support the atrocities perpetrated by the Palestinians’ Hamas leaders and heroes.

This paper analyzes contemporary evangelical apocalyptic fiction with respect to the portrayal of Jews and Judaism. It examines thirty-eight novels published in theUnited States between 1991 and 2008. The author concludes that these novels, which include themes of Christian triumphalism, conversion to Christianity, and horrific Jewish suffering in the final days of mankind on earth, are consistent with the theological principles of evangelical premillenial dispensationalism in that Jews are seen asapocalyptic agents both in suffering as well as in conversion. A list of the novels examined is appended.

The Christian Right supports Israel. They see the establishment of the modern State of Israel as fulfillment of prophecies they believe to be necessary to the Second Coming of Jesus. They want to see the Temple rebuilt and for Israel to expand to control all of the territory described in Scripture. They believe a tiny minority of living Jews will, in the End Times, convert to Christianity and the rest will be damned to hell for their disbelief. They are, on those grounds, no friends of Jews.
