Anyway vote blue or you're a frothing fascist

I've been screaming for this insipid back-stabbing hump to be run out of office for years. At least we are finally hearing Democrats openly discuss his exit, which is the first step to his end. Once they start talking like that, the end is onevitable. His leadership will not survive the Midterms. Once that's over, the MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries will get the hook, and be dragged off stage. Schmuck can go be a Senator in Israel, since he cares more about them than his own constituents.

Its true that there hasn't been peace in the middle east since before the Naqba, that's the point of the state of Israel. Since WWI imperialists desired a state that could be used as a forward operating base for keeping the former Ottoman Empire from ever reuniting in any form.

There is nothing I hate more than a religious freak claiming that just because their stupidity is in enshrined in the Bible, or the Torah, or the Koran, they are automatically, inarguably correct. It's a book of historical fiction, nothing more. Nothing is more stupid than making governmental decisions based on that.

And it's unConstitutional, Schmuckie.

i am once again calling for a nuclear bomb to be dropped on washington dc while congress is in seesion

The reddit atheism is returning to my body. Gross.

The Levantine is where we belong, it’s promised to us in the Torah, we lived here once and ergo it is the only homeland of the Jews.

Also, it’s antisemitic to not let Israel compete in Eurovision because we are most definitely Europeans. What do you think we are, one of those dirty Middle Easterners?

If he'd read the words of the prophets, he'd see the Israelites were frequently driven from their land for disobeying God. The prophets said they will get the land back when God gives it to them at the end of the world. 1) It's not the end of the world and 2) God has not given them the land. I listened to an interview with a former Zionist (he met Palestinians and was like these are just people?? And we're just killing them???) and he said at the heart of Zionism is the idea that they don't need to wait for God to give them their land back; they can take it now by force! So don't hide behind the Torah. Anyone who knows anything knows that's not a valid reason.

Even if it was verbatim in the Torah it would still not be a valid reason because it's just a book.

I mean they definitely are trying to reach Nuclear Armageddon.

I'm not a believer, but if I were a believer, I would think that the idea of trying to force God's hand with Nuclear Holocaust sure sounds like heresy.

Christians: Satan is conniving and always trying to lead believers away from god.

Evangelicals: God actually wants us to kill every person on the planet so we can all go to heaven.

How does the average Christian not see evangelicals as the foot soldiers of Satan?

The avg christian is an evangelical (at least in America). When I arrived to America, I was horrified. I was an atheist for a good long while.

diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie mother fucker

Do you think the feds are more, or less likely to get involved if I say that I can only read this comment to the song

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

This is not a faithful transcription. The real one is about 2% less bad. Still bad, but neither more nor less than the tired argument that the fighting is essentially religious, not a question of human rights, sovereignty, occupation, etc. I don’t think he means that Palestinians need to believe in the Torah, they “just” need to agree that the land belongs to the Jews… (in the form of an apartheid state ofc)

My transcription:

The view of Palestinians is simple: “Well, the Europeans treated the Jews badly, culminating in the Holocaust, and they gave them our land as compensation.”

Of course, we say it’s our land; the Torah says it. But they don’t believe in the Torah.

So, that’s the reason there is not peace. They invent other reasons, but they do not believe in a Jewish state. And that is why we, in America, must stand strong with Israel through thick and thin. We must. Because that is the reason, not any of these other false shibboleths, why there is not peace in the Middle East. Too many people do not understand that, here in America.

It's also from 2018, if anyone else got the impression it was more recent.

A contemporary reaction, with some more choice quotations from Democrats:

We know that Israel would prefer to keep the sword of freedom sheathed… [But if war comes] We will stand on the side of our one true ally in the Middle East.

That's then-senator now-prisoner Robert Menendez hitting Trump from the right on Iran.

I have not seen a security situation as immediately threatening as today… … Iran [is] increasingly and aggressively challenging Israel…

When Iran and Russia challenge Israel directly they are also challenging the United States.

That's still-senator Chris [slur filter]s of Delaware.

America's existence is never mentioned in the Torah, this is why America should be nuked into oblivion

I haven’t seen it but I assume that’s the plot of the 1970 film Torah! Torah! Torah!

America is the entity that is the anti christ, it appeared attractive to many and yet embodies the exact antithesis of any sense of Christian morality even as it drapes itself in the religion's skin. It's now attempting to apotheose its wretchedness in its feverish attempts to create a general AI

Edit: i guess that's still not in the torah tho

Just like Linsey Graham, but with less frothing of the mouth.

Found the video on Reddit. Someone feel free to link a different host if you want
