Considering the interplay between politics and Christian doctrine, I wonder if American Christians will return to the Church-as-New-Israel post-Empire and post UN-created Israel? No amount of discussion seems to move the needle.
I think when today's state of Israel no longer exists, and the American Christian Zionists still find themselves on earth (assuming Israel's Samson option doesn't obliterate us all), they might then decide that their Scofield-induced brainwashing was in error.
But until then? You are right: if they can justify mass-genocide, then I think no amount of discussion will change the mind.
