Zionism, Racism, the Gospel, and the War in Israel-Palestine: Tony Deik

Tony Deik is a member of the Networking Team and Board of Directors of the International Fellowship for Mission as Transformation, Lecturer in Biblical Studies for Bethlehem Bible College, and Research Associate at the Centre for the Study of Bible and Violence. He is a PhD candidate in New Testament studies at the University of Aberdeen and Trinity College, Bristol. His dissertation explores biblical and Graeco-Roman conceptions of justice. A Palestinian Christian from Bethlehem, Tony has lived and ministered in several different contexts over the last thirteen years, including in the Philippines, Hong Kong, England, Palestine, and Bolivia. In this podcast conversation, Tony and I catch up on our new relationship that was formed back in December 2023 and discuss the situation in Israel-Palestine in a free flowing manner. We cover many topics related to this highly controversial situation including whether zionism is intrinsically racist, what's the Christian response to zionism, some facts on the ground regarding Oct 7th (mass rape allegations and the Hannibal directive), why it matters, and many other debated things.
