Robertson is not just an evangelical media mogul. He is one of the principal figures in a coalition of evangelical organizations, based mostly in the United States, dedicated to helping Israel’s cosmic warriors maintain their grasp on the whole of the land. These so-called Christian Zionists (the term was coined by Theodor Herzl to refer to the Christian colonialists who supported the creation of the state of Israel) are motivated by the conviction that the politics of Israel, and indeed of the entire Middle East, are being orchestrated by God.
