Greater Israel: How Christian Zionism Became Policy

Al Jazeera English1 hour ago24:18

A sermon becomes a map. A map becomes policy. And policy becomes land taken, homes emptied and borders redrawn. ‘Greater Israel’: How Christian Zionism Became Policy — a 24-minute Al Jazeera Originals documentary directed by Awad Joumaa — traces how a centuries-old biblical idea travelled from English fringe pulpits to the heart of American politics, and from prophecy into the machinery of modern power. Blending archival footage and AI-assisted visuals, the film explores a question that no longer belongs only to theologians or historians: what happens when a religious vision of territory is backed by votes, money, military infrastructure and state policy?
