“Christ is king”

[MNW67]

If you look into a bit, it’s clear it’s also used in an antisemitic way too.

Odds knows what he’s doing

Isn't the article making exactly that point. And condemning it.

4. Some extremist anti-Zionist spaces

In some online spaces strongly opposed to the state of Israel, the phrase occasionally appears alongside antisemitic stereotypes. These users sometimes claim they are only criticizing Zionism, but critics argue that the rhetoric sometimes crosses into hostility toward Jewish people generally.


There’s where @Odds head is

I avoid all the threads which discuss whether posters are being racist or anti-Semitic.

So, taken purely on its own merits, I actually found the article really interesting and am pleased that it was posted.

What did you find so interesting? The personal attacks, possibly the false accusations or the fact of pure trolling accross the threads?

The article is mainly about two things.

A push by right wingers to turn the USA into a Christian evangelical state.

And the fracturing of the right wing Christian movement in the USA into those who are/aren't anti-Semitic.

These are massive issues and I found the article fascinating.

On its own, the phrase “Christ is king” sums up a core tenet of the Christian faith, that Jesus is the divine ruler of the universe. Catholics and many Protestants celebrate a Christ the King Sunday each year. But the ancient proclamation can morph into something political, controversial or even sinister, depending on who says it and how it’s said. In recent years, “Christ is king” and similar phrases have been chanted at political rallies, posted on social media and proclaimed in speeches by voices on the right.

At times the phrase is used to support the notion of America as a Christian nation or as one that owes its allegiance specifically to the Christian God. Some current Cabinet officials and recent members of Congress have used the phrase in speeches and on social media. But other times, political activists have paired “Christ is king” with anti-Zionist statements or negative Jewish stereotypes.

The controversy connects to a larger schism on the right, with some conservatives pushing back against an increasingly vocal faction whose denunciations of Israel, critics say, often combine with blatant antisemitism. Some of the latter group insist they’re not antisemitic, just anti-Zionist. That itself is a sharp break from what was once a near-consensus of pro-Israel sentiment among Republicans. But there are times when the use of the phrase “Christ is king” is unquestionably hostile toward Jews, said a 2025 report by the Rutgers University-affiliated Network Contagion Research Institute.

Analyzing social media postings between 2021 and 2024, the institute reported a dramatic increase of the phrase “Christ is king,” often used as a hate meme targeting Jews. The report lamented this deviation from its historical use as a hopeful, sacred affirmation with biblical roots. “The weaponization or hijacking of ‘Christ is King’ represents a disturbing inversion of its original intent. Rather than sacralizing shared values, extremists have exploited this religious expression to justify hatred,” the report said.

Never understood why there is so much comment on fairy stories .

As I’ve already said, it’s none of your business.

Well, this forum is to discuss & debate non-DIY topics - it says so here:

So within the context of the rules: https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/forum-rules-general-info.19448/

it's quite reasonable to ask you what you thought was/were the rule(s) which Odds transgressed by posting the topic for debate.

Same applies to motorbiking and Highway Man.

I appreciate that. Odds has a track record. He’s intention's aren’t pure.

As I’ve tried to explain to your other user name, it’s anonymous for a reason. It’s so people like you don’t harass others.

Ask the mods to tell you. They know

Its boring as pi$$, is that good enough reason?

No.

You finding it boring is a reason for you to simply move on and not bother with the thread at all, not a reason for you to report it and hang around wittering and whinging about it.

It’s weird how two posters care so much and in a very similar way about something so trivial.

You voluntarily waived your anonymity here:

You never learn. Anyone else would get a ban for the rubbish you post.

No, I won't ask. They wouldn't tell me if I did, nor should they.
