Yes it's a pejorative and disparaging term.
But I was using it to point out why Christians shouldn't support the modern day state of Israel.
I mean, why support Israel, Jerusalem, and the rebuilding of the Temple when Jesus' death rent the veil in the Temple. So wanting it back is an insult to his death.
Plus Jesus made it plain that Jerusalem was no longer important when he said :
Joh 4:20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
Joh 4:21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
