Just to be clear, this was an elderly Palestinian man cowering under a bed who came out with his hands up and was murdered by an Israeli soldier who brags about it after.

    This is literally one of the steps to building a fascist state. Israel is speed running to a fascist theocracy.

      Israel has never not been a fascist state. Religion is humanity’s oldest lash. Each of the abrahamic religions after Judaism is a heretical revolutionary cult against the political structures that each prior religion corrupted itself into.

        Each of the abrahamic religions after Judaism

        I’m no scholar, but aren’t there only two and their various sects? Would have been shorter to just name them, unless it was to tie them to their Abrahamic roots and then I’m curious why you don’t include Judaism.

          I wasn’t going for short, I was trying to communicate a specific idea. To answer your questions read the rest of what I said.

          You could argue it’s all the same religion, different sects but the same exact God, just different names for it.

          Or wasn’t the exact same God who talked to Abraham in all of these religions?

            One could also argue that the god described in the New Testament is not the same as the (petty, jealous, hateful, genocidal) one in the OT.

              That’s YOUR point of view. None of the major Christian sects think that afaik.

              You can make a religion out of that!

        A NYT letter to the editor signed by many prominent Jews, including Einstein, more or less blatantly called Tnaut Haherut Nazis.

        Haherut is now Likud, and that letter was written in 1948.

        Every time they start talking about it something like this happens and everyone there “rallys around the flag”
