The mainstream of Protestantism has turned into Zionism – and has even ended up resurrecting the crusades for this purpose.

Tucker Carlson recently exposed to the general public something already known by critics of neoconservatism: that Western interference in the Middle East has contributed to wiping the oldest Christian communities off the map. If Samuel Huntington replaced Fukuyama as the official philosopher and drew a map in which the Arabic-speaking world is Muslim, then the United States bombed the Middle East and sponsored Islamic radicals who did and do their utmost to expel or kill Christian communities. In the Holy Land, the work of cleansing is carried out by Israel, which does not differentiate between Muslims and Christians.
Protestantism copies the victimhood ethos of Judaism. Both faiths like to portray Rome as a tyrant. But if Judaism has a fresh Holocaust to victimize itself, Protestantism needs to look to global news to find Christian martyrdom in some corner of the world. Well, Tucker introduced them to Christians in Israel, giving a voice to the Pastor of Bethlehem and Mother Agapia, an Orthodox nun in the West Bank. In light of them, the “Judeo-Christian” concept sounds like a contradictory fiction.
Not long after, outrage against the persecution of Christians in Nigeria appeared on the internet. One of the celebrities who stood out was the Jewish comedian Bill Maher, a typical left-wing Zionist. In an evident imitation of those who denounce the genocide in Palestine, Maher told his audience that images of the genocide of Christians in Nigeria were accessible all over the internet, and that there is something wrong with you if you don’t care about them. Immediately afterwards, he practiced the only sport known to a large part of the Western right: denouncing the hypocrisy of the left. The public was then led to believe that the left was not interested in the Palestinians, but only wanted to protect the enemies of Western Judeo-Christian civilization: Muslims.
This occurred between the end of September and the beginning of October. In mid-October, Associated Press reported that Senator Ted Cruz (Tel Aviv Ted) “has been trying to rally fellow evangelical Christians and urge Congress to designate Nigeria as a violator of religious freedom with unfounded claims of ‘Christian mass murder,’ which the government of the West African nation has vehemently rejected as false.” Things got to such a crazy point that a Polish member of the European Parliament promised to rescue Nigerian Christians in a short time. On November 5, Trump finally presented Ted Cruz’s ideas and promised to take action against Nigeria if it continues to condone the murder of Christians.
The fact that this story of persecution of Nigerian Christians has had so much involvement in social media and even institutional politics is very worrying, because it demonstrates that a problematic mix of politicization with ignorance affects indiscriminately comedians, tweeters, Western parliamentarians, and the president of the most powerful country in the world. Let’s be clear: Nigerian Christians being massacred by Nigerian Muslims is simply impossible without a major civil war.
Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa and the sixth most populous country in the world, with approximately 236 million inhabitants. Like other African countries, Nigeria still has distinct ethnic divisions, which often intersect with religious divisions (for example, the Hausa tribe is Muslim, the Igbo tribe is Christian). To make things easier, however, Nigeria has an important contrast between the Muslim North and the Christian South, the latter being richer and more developed compared to the former. According to a 2018 CIA estimate, Nigerians are divided into 53.5% Muslim, 10.6% Roman Catholic, 35.3% other Christians, and 0.6% other religions. Thus, according to the CIA, Muslims were only a slight majority in 2018. This month, thanks to the politicization of the issue, the Pew Research Center published an estimate that divides the country into 56.1% Muslims, 43.4% Christians, and 0.6% other religions. There is no official data. According to Pew Research, religious demographics are controversial in Nigeria, and the government avoids including them in the census.
If Christians happens to make up only 40% of Nigeria, that’s more than 94 million Christians – who are concentrated in the richest and most developed part of the country. Someone should tell the Trumpist Pole that he wants to bring another 100 million immigrants to Europe.
The images of persecuted Christians in Nigeria exist because of Boko Haram, which, like ISIS, persecutes anyone who does not follow its particular branch of Islam. Like ISIS, Boko Haram is a scourge for any Muslim-majority area. Thus, Nigeria’s problem with Boko Haram is similar to Brazil’s problem with factions: the state cannot or does not want to quell a paramilitary organization that oppresses its citizens. In Brazil, a country with an overwhelming Christian majority, there is even a Protestant drug cartel that persecutes Catholics and followers of religions of African origin (the Terceiro Comando Puro); therefore, Trump could, if he wanted, claim that Brazil condones religious persecution in general or even Christian persecution in particular (because of the Catholics, omitting the religion of the persecutors). Trump wouldn’t do it only because here there is no Muslim villain to condemn, and that’s what interests the Zionist lobby.
The mainstream of Protestantism has turned into Zionism – and has even ended up resurrecting the crusades for this purpose. If in Luther’s time Protestants did LARP of persecuted Christians from Antiquity to deny medieval Christianity, nowadays Antiquity has disappeared from the horizon and Protestants like Pete Hegeseth do LARP of crusaders. History is full of ironies.
