    He’s not wrong from a BIBLICAL standpoint.

    The Bible also says disobedient children should be murdered. The Bible says that if you rape a child, you have to give her dad $50 and marry her. The Bible is OBSESSED with foreskin collection.

    It says a lot of very stupid tripe, that’s why nobody bothers following it.

      The Bible is OBSESSED with foreskin collection.

      That makes sense tho…

      Like Old Testament was for the one group in the area who removed those as children. No adult spy would do that for cover, and it would take substantial time to heal to pass

      So it wasn’t “we love foreskins, gimmie them foreskins” as much as “give me the one thing that proved you killed an adult man who wasn’t part of us”.

      It was genocide, if you weren’t part of ‘the tribe’ you were an enemy and should be killed.

      So yeah, totally evil, but logical.

        Just So stories about the logical reason for genital mutilation don’t hold water. Even in the Bible, there are accounts of how the Israelites could tell friend from foe: they did it by accent (search on “shibboleth” for more details), not by examining the guy’s schwantz. Much easier from a safe distance.

        Also, many other tribal societies also practiced circumcision and other forms of genital mutilation, some living adjacent to each other. And snipping is also practiced in Islam, which encompasses multiple nationalities.

          “Shibboleth” was used in a battle between the Gileadites and the Ephramites. Both Israelite, both circumcised.

          And Islam didn’t exist in the old testament time; they are also an Abrahamic religion.

    By that same logic, the Italians have a right to the entire middle east because the Roman Empire engulfed it. Then the Ottoman’s came and took it from them, so hey…I guess Turkey has a right to the entire middle east as well now.

    Fuck Zionism.

      That’s not even biblical. Israel has never controlled fucking Tehran, and they were routinely in exile in Iraq and Syria, not as conquerors but as conquered. No fuccabee only believes this because he’s pro genocide, anti brown people, and hates Muslims more than jews.

    It’s in the Bible, somewhere…

    Blows my mind that anyone can support this “God given right” to land for Israel while at the same time denying indigenous first Nations in America.

      They’re exactly the same thing: support for genocide against indigenous people and for theft of their land.

      I’d like to see that progress rapidly to a natural conclusion, honestly. Thankfully he’s not in the news much anymore, but all things considered it would be harder to find a bigger gaping asshole even in this land of self-glorified assholes, which is currently enjoying its own golden age of assholery. He’s like asshole emeritus now.

      Bullshit, yes. Irrelevant, no. Sometimes they lead to real-world consequences that harm or kill innocent people.

    By the logic of the old testament of the Bible, wouldn’t the Jews have a right to the entire earth?

      As long as the follow God’s orders, which include treating the stranger among you as an equal. But then there are also contradictory orders. It’s lose/lose being the chosen people. What it really means is being singled out for abuse by a capricious, brutally authoritarian, abusive father-figure.

        And then kill them on Sundays for not following their religious rules.
