@DrPoulose It is crucial to separate biblical Israel from the modern political state of Israel, which was founded in 1948 by secular leaders and defined by political agreements—not divine mandate.

@YaelEckstein Truth requires clarity, and justice demands courage.

[Warren Devaul @DevaulWarren]

@YaelEckstein And I call for a more honest reading of Scripture—one that does not confuse biblical Israel with modern geopolitics, or use God’s name to bless war, nationalism, or systemic injustice.

[Warren Devaul @DevaulWarren]

@YaelEckstein In conclusion, I stand in moral opposition to the policies and military decisions of Benjamin Netanyahu, which have caused unimaginable suffering and may constitute crimes against humanity.

@YaelEckstein Some Christian theologians hold that the covenant was expanded to include all nations through Christ, while others maintain that God’s original promises to Abraham and Jacob remain—but only to the ancient Israelite lineage, not to any modern government.

[Warren Devaul @DevaulWarren]

@YaelEckstein Many scholars, theologians, and even Jewish voices today argue that God’s covenant people are not defined by nationality or modern political borders, but by their faith, justice, and obedience.

[Warren Devaul @DevaulWarren]

@YaelEckstein It ignores the conditional nature of biblical covenants and the prophetic warnings issued to ancient Israel whenever it acted unjustly, shed innocent blood, or turned from God’s commandments (see Isaiah 1, Jeremiah 7, Amos 5).

[Warren Devaul @DevaulWarren]

@YaelEckstein To claim that the modern State of Israel, with its political leadership, represents God’s chosen people is a theological error and a historical oversimplification.

[Warren Devaul @DevaulWarren]

@YaelEckstein His descendants—the twelve tribes of Israel—became the ancient Israelites, who entered into covenant with God. These ancient people were to be a light to the nations, chosen not for privilege, but for responsibility, obedience, and faithfulness (Deuteronomy 7:6–11).

[Warren Devaul @DevaulWarren]

@YaelEckstein The Bible does not speak of the modern State of Israel. Instead, “Israel” in Scripture originally refers to Jacob, the grandson of Abraham. In Genesis 32:28, God renames Jacob “Israel” after he wrestles with an angel.

[Warren Devaul @DevaulWarren]

@YaelEckstein But it is crucial to separate biblical Israel from the modern political state of Israel, which was founded in 1948 by secular leaders and defined by political agreements—not divine mandate.

[Warren Devaul @DevaulWarren]

@YaelEckstein Despite the serious humanitarian crisis unfolding under his command, Netanyahu continues to invoke ancient religious claims to justify modern state violence.

[Warren Devaul @DevaulWarren]

@YaelEckstein To many observers, including human rights organizations, these actions amount to collective punishment and ethnic cleansing, and may rise to the level of war crimes or genocide under international law.

[Warren Devaul @DevaulWarren]

@YaelEckstein While Israel claims it is acting in self-defense, the scale and brutality of the operations—particularly the targeting of hospitals, refugee camps, journalists, aid convoys, and food distribution hubs—have raised international outcry.

[Warren Devaul @DevaulWarren]

@YaelEckstein Under Netanyahu’s leadership, Israel has carried out military campaigns in Gaza that have resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of Palestinians—many of whom were civilians, including women and children.

[Warren Devaul @DevaulWarren]

@YaelEckstein I write to express grave concern over the actions of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and to raise a critical examination of the theological and historical claims often used to justify modern political violence in the name of religion.
