Executive summary: In the Middle East, geopolitical conflicts, especially in Palestine and Israel, are fundamentally dictated by the religious, each monotheism claiming a monopoly of truth. The American example illustrates this intrusion of the religious into politics: the Judeo-Evangelist alliance (Christian Zionism) dictates foreign policy and explains unconditional support for Israel, blocking by veto any advance for Palestine at the UN. However, the admission of Israel in 1949 was conditioned by the Lausanne Accord (1949) on the application of sharing and the return of refugees. Today, international law remains a dead letter to this power supported by a cynical religious alliance, and the Palestinian people pay the price. The heart of the problem lies in the religious’s grip on international relations, requiring the intervention of theologians rather than politicians.
Keywords: Palestine, Israel, Religion, State, Geopolitics, International Relations, Monotheisms, Christian Zionism, Judeo-Evangelist Alliance, United Nations (UN), 1947 Sharing Plan, Lausanne Agreement.
Abstract: In the Middle East, geopolitical conflicts, specifically in Palestine and Israel, are financially dictated by religion, with each monotheistic fact claiming a monopoly on truth. The American example illustrates this intrusion of religion into politics: the Judeo-Evangelical alliance (Christian Zionism) dictators foreign policy and explains the unconditional support for Israel, blocking any progress for Palestine at the UN through vetoes. Yet, Israel, admission in 1949 was conditional, granting to the Lausanne Agreement (1949), on the implementation of the score plan and the return of refugees. Today, international law remains a dead letter in the face of this power supported by a cynical religious alliance, and the Palestinian people are paying the price. The heart of the problem lies in this holding of religion on international relations, requiring the intervention of theologists other than politicians.
