It’s rather weird that a Christian cult would spend so much on people who are, according to that cult, pariahs.
I don’t think support of Israel is that much connected to Christianity. It’s rather that when you have Israel, supporting it is a huge reputational counterweight to any fascist action you take.
Pariahs who need to have their own state for armageddon to happen. Remember that these are the same mental giants who invented the prosperity gospel. Not a cult so much as the entirety of southern baptism.
Yep, starting with the first paragraph. The author might have skipped his Sunday school or something. In Christianity it’s considered that “God’s chosen people” has been extended to the whole humanity.
“I don’t think these people even know what that truly means” - maybe most of them don’t, but they are using the designation correctly.
“Arab citizens of Israel have the same rights as Jewish citizens” - well, the statement is kinda true ; technically false due to Israeli laws being a patchwork of weird shit with some inheritance from the Ottoman millets system, which is the same as apartheid give or take, but that’s not why the author is wrong. It’s just that most of Arabs living under Israeli military control are not citizens of Israel.
Why am I even commenting that, there are sometimes outrageous texts with which it’s a dubious, but still pleasure to argue with. This one is just some jellybrain’s product.
OK, it’s totally false now, but before that bill it was technically false, but practically usually true. I don’t live in Israel and kinda forgot that whole thing due to being more interested in it in the context of Israel arming Azerbaijan.
I did read it a lot, it’s just that Christianity over the pond is weird. Weirder than in China and Japan, I can understand where their traits of it come from, but in USA it’s something hard for me to emotionally grasp.
The USA’s relationship to Christianity is unique in that the first fuckers to come colonize the place were too strict even for Christianity in 17th century Europe. The Puritans were a blight upon this world and the ramifications are still sending aftershocks to the present day.
I should have added that practical Catholicism in South America doesn’t seem to have this kind of weirdness, so indeed it’s Puritans or even more generally, the spirit of a closed small sect, where the religion itself is not as important as the sect loyalty and uncritical following. Only it’s neither closed nor small.

It’s 100% wrapped up in Christianity. It’s all part of their apocalypse fantasy.

> when you don’t read to the end of the bible so you don’t know why the US really wants Israel to exist
