    Oh? God told you to take their homes away? With violence?

    That changes everything! Please continue.

    But I was emphatically told this was not what they were doing by several apologists! They wouldn’t have lied, would they?!

      Maybe not the apologists, they’re just drinking the piss flavored Kool aid.

      Those making the piss punch could use another type of punch. All the propagandists, everywhere.

      A lot of focus on lemmy is on billionaires and not nearly enough on propagandists. It’s the propagandists that enable the billionaires to continue, and in this case it’s the propagandists that “allow” for arguments over reality to exist.

      I wish hell were real, it would be full to the brim with propagandists, billionaires, and fundamental religious nutters. And who am I kidding, probably me too lol

    They have been doing this for more than 70 years. Israel exists on stolen Palestinian land.

      We’re greedy fucks and vulnerable to bubbles. There’s a concept that humans have a strong internal moral compass and some of us might. Most people though, just go with the flow, and let the people around them guide their morals - this seems to happen especially awfully in religious communities. Weirdly enough a fair number of awful religious people seem aware of how immoral they are and repeat the thought “Without God’s guidance we’d be animals” which just highlights how awful they actually are.

    Just like North America, when the British sent their religious fanatics to colonize their new colonies.

    Religious Zionists, who believe the Jewish people have divine authority to rule from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, make up only around 14% of Israel’s population. But in recent years they have greatly expanded their influence in the military, the government and society at large,

    “In recent years…” What? Israel itself is a Zionist project since the beginning, from Hovevei Zion to Herzl to Haganah to Ben-Gurion to Sharon and Netanyahu.
