The Israeli genocide of the Palestinians has robbed me of all regard for Israel.
As long as Israel has the USA as an ally it will only worse.
Problem comes down to who's god is the bigger god. Even when it is the same one. To the Jews this lump of land was given to them by god. That gave them the right to displace the indigenous people who had been living there.
This has been going on for some time, at least 2500 years I think. So the snapshot will probably change again in the future. I hope we humans will wake up and realise that gods are mad by people and not the other way around, and thus, get on with each other, but I suspect that isn't going to happen.
U think they honestly believe that though? I don't see how it's possible. They use the Bible to manipulate the masses but I don't think they believe it at all. How could they?
It’s pretty obvious. Also there is history of this goal as the Old Testament spoke about stealing land from the Philistines.
My ex-husband has a friend who has the same beliefs as him and years ago we had a discussion about the group that the Israelites were supposed to kill because god told them to but they didn't so he punished them. I can't remember the story but it's one of the old testament ones. Supposedly this was a group that would eventually become the Muslims and if they had been killed back then, then we wouldn't have all of these problems with the Muslims and when the end times come, otherwise known as the tribulations, the Muslims will be dealt with and killed off like all the other non-following the right religion people. So yeah, really nice. Just kind of put a sour taste in my mouth even back then and now, even more so. They believe that the US and Great Briton are part of the lost tribes of Israel, part of these biblical prophesies that are yet to come or something like that. I don't know, I stopped paying attention to the sort of hogwash this man would tell me, I just know that the thinking some of these people have is very much in favor of doing ANYTHING that will bring the end times nearer so that their god will come back and save them, get rid of everyone who doesn't believe like they believe, and fix the world and make it into the heaven they feel they deserve.
@SimplyJaneen Well, God is an Englishman... Yeah, lost ribes of Israel - my hairy arse! The British and Americans are a huge mash up of human beings. Americans more so.
Problems of 'God given' rights enter here, and people get murdered effectively for Santa.
@Sofabeast No kidding! Insanity at its finest.
@SimplyJaneen I guess you did not tell them that we all stemmed from Africa once upon a time according to science.
@Jolanta they don't believe in evolution or even in dinosaurs.
