Hi. My name is Christopher Chase. I wanted to share some thoughts about Isaiah's original vision of Zion which was highly inclusive (offering peace and sanctuary to everyone) envisioning the city of Jerusalem as a place where all humanity comes together to end war, "turn our swords into plowshares" and live in peace. It's quite different from the nationalistic and exclusive ideas of Zionism which dominate now, aligned with Western systems of militarism, political power and colonialism.
About myself: I'm an artist and University teacher living in Japan, originally from New York. I have a blog on wordpress and am also rather active on Facebook, creator and co-creator of several pages and communities listed below.
