Our dear friends in South Africa taught us the concept of the state theology defined as theology, the theological justification of the status quo with its racism, capitalism and totalitarianism. It does so by misusing theological concepts and Biblical texts for its own political purposes. Here in Palestine the Bible is weaponised against us, our very own sacred text. In our terminology in Palestine we speak of the empire. Here we confront the theology of empire, a disguise of superiority, supremacy, chosenness and entitlement. It is sometimes given a nice cover using words like mission and evangelism, fulfilment of prophecy and spreading freedom and liberty. The theology of the empire becomes a powerful tool to mask oppression under the clock of divine sanction. It speaks of land without people. It divides people into us and them. It dehumanises and demonises the concept of land without people again even though they knew too well that the land had people and not just any people, a very special people.
