    Religious ethnostates are a threat to world peace.

    Anyone who thinks god gave them some land is incapable of rational negotiation about said land.

        The US is more often led by neoliberal capitalism running unrestrained… but whenever it gets creepy religious shit definitely hits the fan.

            Please explain further how Trump is a devout Christian…

            In the modern Era there are some republican goals that come from religion (I.e. gay marriage opposition) but the majority of their bullshit is just about greed and power.

            Also, keep in mind that a lot of greedy people in the republican party are happy to embrace Christian bullshit like abortion restrictions if it means they can drill for oil on public park land.

            America is fucking complicated and trying to attribute either of the parties’ stances to a single simple thing will be extremely inaccurate.

              He said he’s a Christian at some point. That’s all it takes.

              There was even that time he hired his goon squad, or sorry, ordered his goon squad to attack peaceful protesters so that he could hold a Bible upside down outside.

              You know the kind of stuff that our Lord and savior would do in his infinite mercy and wisdom.

    Delusional. I feel like he doesn’t necessarily care about his own people either, just want to commit genocide and take over land at any cost.

    The fact that people still defend this guy makes me perplexed.

      He knows that he’ll lose power once that war ends. He will prolong it as long as he can. Of course he doesn’t care about the lifes of his own people, never did.

    “We all will have to provide answers to what happened on Oct. 7, myself included — but only after the war,” said Netanyahu.

    So he wants more time for war crimes before anyone charges him with war crimes. And he’s referencing biblical prophecy and all but calling it a holy war. The man has lost his mind clearly.

    This is the kind of deadly nonsense that happens when you have a religious state. US Christian nationalists should take note, though they support Netanyahu for the sole reason that it reinforces their biblical doomsday prophecies of their own.

      US Christian nationalists should take note

      They are well aware.

      And it’s an outcome they want.

      That’s how they get Buddy Jesus to come back and punish all the sinners for their pleasure.

      Or something like that.

    Organized religion can get fucked along with all these deathmongers using “god” as an excuse to kill or harm others.

      What’s funny is that saying Isaiah’s Prophecy will be fulfilled is completely opposite to Christianity, since Christians believe is already was fulfilled with the birth of Jesus.

    Basically he means the coming of the Messiah which is funny because

    Christians and Muslims believe the anti christ will show up pretending to be the Messiah and lead the Jews astray

    Also

    In a death that resembles that attributed to Isaiah in Lives of the Prophets, Muslim exegesis recounts that Isaiah was martyred by Israelites by being sawn in two

    There’s so much religious irony in this statement, I’m sure anyone could find more examples of comedy lol

    From what I remember (a very long time ago!), Isaiah is basically We’re unjustly oppressed and attacked and things look really bad, but just trust in God and your leaders and your diaspora will come home and everyone will come to your side and your enemies will be defeated and we’ll end up rich and in charge.
