What is the connection between the global surge in ancient Jew hatred and the assault on foundational civilizational values?
The UN just demanded Jewish withdrawal from Jerusalem within a year. Why its obsession with Israel and Jerusalem?
Is Israel really “a white European coloniser, guilty of occupation, apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide against the indigenous Palestinians”?
What does the Bible teach concerning Israel past, present and future?
What is replacement theology and how does it argue its case? Why must it be opposed?
How should Christians respond to the surge in antisemitism?
Dr Sheree Trotter earned a PhD in History from University of Auckland with a thesis on Zionism. She will unpack many of the competing claims concerning the conflict and will address some of its historical and geo-political context. She will examine the role of academia and media in the surge in antisemitism, and offer an indigenous perspective.
Sheree co-founded Holocaust and Antisemitism Foundation, Aotearoa New Zealand, and in 2023 completed an Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy scholars-in-residence course at Oxford. Sheree is Māori (Te Arawa) and co-founded the Indigenous Embassy Jerusalem.
Perry Trotter is a Bible teacher. He will address the assault on Judeo-Christian values, its relationship to antisemitism, and other relevant questions: Does the Bible explain why the issue of Israel is so divisive? Has the church replaced Israel, making her irrelevant? What should be our response to the surge in antisemitism?
Perry is the author of Israel in the Biblical Worldview, a book endorsed by a number of international scholars. He has experience in refuting replacement theology and Christian anti-Zionism. He is also a media producer whose work on the Holocaust has been shown in Berlin, Dubai, Australia and throughout NZ.
