Christian Zionism Condemns Replacement Theology as Heretical and Linked to Historical Antisemitism

Christian Zionism and ethno-nationalism have collided in a growing rift within conservative evangelical circles and MAGA politics. On one side stands the Nick Fuentes-Tucker Carlson faction, which promotes a form of Catholic integralism or “blood-and-soil” traditionalism. On the other side is the influential grassroots movement of dispensationalist Christian Zionism, led by figures like Pastor John Hagee and his organization, Christians United for Israel.

This division is more than a disagreement over foreign policy, as Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts has described. For Christian Zionists, the conflict is theological, not political. In a previous analysis, it was noted that Roberts defended Tucker Carlson’s decision to platform avowed antisemite Nick Fuentes, reflecting a broader strategy that prioritizes directing all opposition to the “left.”

This political approach, which demands all firepower be directed “left,” has clashed with a powerful and deeply rooted force: the millions-strong, well-funded, and theologically driven Christian Zionist movement. Christian Zionists view the Israeli government and its Jewish citizens as central to God’s plan, rooted in biblical covenants.

According to the worldview of Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes, “Zionist Jews” are portrayed as a secretive, subversive force for evil and “globalism.” In an interview with Fuentes, Carlson himself called Christian Zionism a “brain virus” and a “Christian heresy.” This perspective aligns with a form of Replacement Theology, which suggests that the Christian church—or a white, “Christian” West—has replaced the Jewish people as the inheritor of God’s covenant.

This belief is deeply offensive to Christian Zionists like John Hagee. In an interview with the Washington Reporter, Sandra Hagee Parker, Hagee’s daughter, directly condemned Replacement Theology as “misguided at best, and heretical at worst.” She linked this doctrine to historical and modern expressions of violence, including the Crusaders, the Spanish Inquisitors, Martin Luther, the Nazis, the KKK, and the far right.

For Christians United for Israel, the far right—represented by figures like Fuentes and Carlson—is not a “friend” to be protected under the “No Enemies to the Right” framework. Instead, it is seen as a modern continuation of groups that promote antisemitism through heretical beliefs. Hagee Parker emphasizes the scriptural foundation of Christian Zionism, which directly refutes the claims of Fuentes and Carlson.

The unbreakable covenant God made with Abram, as described in Genesis, is central to the Christian Zionist understanding of Israel’s role in God’s plan. This covenant is seen as a divine promise that cannot be replaced or negated by human ideologies or political movements.
