Any self-proclaimed Jews or Christians who support Zionism are hypocrites, and besmirch the true believers of Christianity and Judaism. Do not conflate the terms of Christian, Jew and Zionist.

For the record, Jesus of Nazareth was a devout Jew — whether or not anyone believes in Him.

The Zionists exploit sympathy for Jews who were exterminated during WWII. They also exploit sympathy from Evangelicals who are hoping to accelerate the arrival Armageddon and the End of Days.

The fossil fuels industry wants to seize control of all petroleum and natural gas in the Levant and the rest of the Middle East.

The US defense contractors want more money to build more weapons, regardless of where such weapons go or how they will be used. It’s just good business.

The US Congress has had the ability to stop all of this nonsense since 1948. The self-proclaimed Zionist Catholic POTUS #46 continued to support genocide with the support of Congress. The real estate developer POTUS #47 has failed to deliver on his campaign promises to end the genocide, but is trying to figure out how he can get “a good deal” for himself if he does. Just business.

All too many of the MAGA cult want government to “run like a business”, and will find out how that really works. It’s like expecting a fish to climb a tree.

Jesus was a devout Jew. Guess who killed him? Some things never change.

There is no evidence a literal Jesus ever existed let alone that he was a devout Jew. His teachings are so radically different from Judaism that it is highly unlikely he was Jewish. Palestine at the time had many different groups and religions so it is pure assumption to claim Jesus was Jewish.

Fact is there is no contemporary evidence from the Romans, Herodians or historians that Jesus ever existed. The first mention of him was made by Josephus, who was born 30 years after Jesus supposedly died and the Bible was written more than a century later.

If it makes you happy look at Christ and his crucifixion as an analogy of what the Zionists would do to anyone gaining the public ear and exposing their hypocrisy. You don't have to believe in Christ to see the parallels.

Absolutely. I have no issue with Christ as metaphor and the crucifixion as a symbolic psychological and spiritual experience.

The hypocrites who feared his “disruptive” behavior asked the Romans to kill Him. Much like the Zionists of today, the hypocrites weren’t actually devout Jews.

“Be careful,” Jesus said to them. “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” (Matt. 16:6, Mark 8:15, Luke 12:1), “Then they (The Disciples) understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the DOCTRINE of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” (Matthew 16:12)

The Pharisees and Sadducees did not want anyone to challenge their undeserved authority.

300+ years later, the Romans established Christianity as the official religion of their empire, but did not drive out the devout Jews. Some remained in Palestine as did many of their progeny. Some converted to Christianity. Some converted to Islam after the Ottoman Empire took control of Asia Minor. Others left to seek their fortunes elsewhere.
