Well, just this week the Presbyterian church voted to “Divest” from Israel, like it was the racist regime of Apartheid South Africa.
Of, course, that isn’t even close.
Israel is surrounded by REAL enemies who want to kill them, whose governments rise up to periodically try to kill them, and whose religious followers believe it is their HOLY duty to kill themselves while killing innocent Israelis simply for living in their country. And if you can kill innocent Jews while not killing yourself, hey, that’s good too, and you’ll be rewarded in Paradise when you die later.
The Muslim violence against Jews is clear, ongoing and palpable. Yet lets focus on Palestinian’s homes getting bulldozed simply because a person who lived there just blew up a school bus full of Jewish kids.
Of course, you’d expect a Christian church’s followers would at least know the Bible thoroughly enough that they’d understand that where Jesus’s Judea once stood is now mostly the West Bank, and understand the implications of Israel in regard to it. It’s not cut and dried like Apartheid in any way, and treating it as such is a slander of God’s promise to Jacob.
The Islamics firmly believe Israel has NO right to exist, and do whatever the can to achieve its demise, including getting feel-good liberals in the West to treat the Jews like South African SS Nazis.
And the current American president hates your guts and is probably a fellow traveler of the Islamic view on Israel and the Jews.
If I was BB, I’d be pissed, too!
excellant analysis! ( as always)
