@Threadbane @gwfoto@newsie.social The Baptist belief that all Jews must be in Israel in order for their messiah to appear doesn’t help. I am Jewish, but by no means a Zionist. I abhor the Israeli government. Bibi should be in jail.
@Threadbane @gwfoto@newsie.social Hard to argue with that. And I actually consider myself a Jewish Atheist these days. Judaism? I’m only there for the food.

Mike Pompeo is a Second Coming whacko, and was instrumental (Secretary of State, remember?) in moving the capital of Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, another pre-requisite for Jesus to come back and kill everybody except good Xians like Pompeo. Not sure what's supposed to happen to all those Jews. Can't remember. Does Jesus kill all of them too? Do they get beamed up along with the 144K Xians? Or are some of the 144K Jews? Prymatt Conehead doesn't think 144K will survive.
@Threadbane @gwfoto@newsie.social I always figured once all Jews moved to Israel, then the Christofascists could nuke the entire Middle East. Win win?
@AlliFlowers @gwfoto
For years, my solution to the Middle East is to boycott it. We;d have PLENTY of oil if we weren't so mindlessly profligate with what we pump, so no more oil imports - not from ANYWHERE, actually. Or exports! Send Middle Eastern countries no more weapons or money, period. Then let all the religious crazies kill each other off until there's nothing left but sensible atheists - and peace will return to the Holy Land. 8^)

Uh...the Xians can't nuke Jesus' birthplace. Or Mt. Ararat where Noah parked the ark, or Mt. Sinai. Jews might be the Children of God, but Jesus was clearly his favorite. (And how is it that other Jews can't perform miracles, being Yahweh's kids and all? Maybe you also have to be a king.)
@Threadbane @gwfoto@newsie.social Not the children of god, just the chosen people. (Only ones willing to accept the 10 commandments.) Beyond that, Christofascists aren’t really
Christians, so they are free to nuke whatever strikes their fancy. Especially if they can blame someone else.

All my Jewish friends in both high school, college, the military and at work were actually atheists, or at least agnostics. A couple of them thought that an American or European Jew moving to live on a Kibbutz built on some Palestinian olive grower's orchard was committing a crime.
At least Zionists don't let just anybody play, so they're unlikely to be as dangerous as the recruiter Xians or conscripter Muslims.
