Israel Between Christian Zionism and Far-Right Movements

Abstract This article examines the intersections of identity construction, core theological concepts of Christian Zionism, and far-right ideologies in U. S. and German-speaking evangelical-charismatic contexts. In the U.S., dispensationalist evangelical Zionism links theological interpretations of Israel with political mobilization and apocalyptic expectation, connecting these to far-right narratives. With an analytical focus on identity construction in the German-speaking context, the study shows that evangelical Holocaust remembrance, biblicist readings of prophetic texts, the adoption of populist logics, and the externalization of antisemitism onto Muslim-Arab populations serve to communicate clear identity boundaries.
