Comment on Israel publicly announces genocidal intent

  Are you really asking this?

  Christians are okay with this because Isreal is the “promised land” and “gods chosen people.” They will remain on the side of Isreal because they see Isreals actions to be almost the same as their gods.

    That would be a weird kind of Christians, the classical kind would want “promised land” to be Christian and consider “God’s chosen people” to have been extended to them all.

    And there are still Arab Christians, Orthodox and Maronite, mostly on the other side.

    So nah, that’s not it. Just racism maybe, but that’s not religion.

      Weird kind of Christian in your book or not, it’s true. Christians, especially the evangelical type which have a lot of power in the US support Isreal blindly.

      My parents, for example, would be horrified by what isreal is doing, but because it’s isreal, they happily eat up any propaganda that makes them out to be the victims.

      Citizens dying? Shouldn’t have been in the area!

      My view of my parents has radically changed in just a matter of months.

        It’s not my book, but Christians are supposed to have read that book and know what the Christian faith is.

        Otherwise they are a fan group.

        BTW, what do your parents think of cremation, are they aware that in Christian faith that makes one’s resurrection in the Apocalypse impossible?

        OK, I guess it’s not very useful, I think if I walk to a church and ask people passing through the entrance what their symbol of faith is, I won’t get many good answers. If I provide them with a few real variants, they’ll likely choose those of other Christian confessions. And if I ask those same people on schisms and heresies, they’ll be very intolerant of heretics.

    Israelis are Atheists. Zionism is an Atheist movement.

    Theodor Herzl was an atheist.

    Israel’s first PM Ben Gurion was a hardcore atheist.

    Israel is a consequence of Liberalism. It is pure Western secular colonialism nothing more.

      Zionism is an ostensibly secular movement. Secularity is not atheism. Pretext is not motivation.

        No Zionism is very much is an Atheistic movement. It does not define Jewishness as a religion but as a race. And they basically believe Jews are the Ubermensch. This is why early Zionists were booted out of Germany by their religiously Jewish counterparts… Zionism is a classic story of settler-colonialism inspired by European Liberalism.
