The omnipresence of flags of the State of Israel at a recent far-right demonstration on Avenida Paulista, in São Paulo, emerged as confirmation of an expanding phenomenon: theological confusion and biblical quackery as strategies for ideological and political combat. On that occasion, two women with Israeli flags on their backs, approached by reporters, responded to the question “Why are you with Israel?”: “Because you are Christians like us”. In fact, Christians make up just 1,9% of the Israeli population, with Jews making up about 83% of the people of Israel. Christ is not recognized as the Messiah by Israel. In other words: Israel is not Christian.
