[Genocide Joe] Biden: 'I Am a Zionist'
From 2021, but worth a read, from Truthout:
Christian Zionism must be challenged as a powerful threat to a larger progressive agenda. Because Christian Zionism is predicated on Christian salvation coinciding with the end of the world and annihilation of non-Christians, Christian Zionism is at its core anti-Muslim and antisemitic.
— Jonathan Brenneman & Aidan Orly | Truthout | May 20, 2021

Actually that may be too harsh to Jesus. He was a Rabbi after all, and what I've learned is that the Rabbis haaaaated the Maccabees. And can you blame them? The Maccabees and their weird incestuous jumbled up quasi theocratic mess was directly responsible for the Roman usurpation of Judea.
So it's not a surprise that a Pharisee like Jesus would view armed revolt as futile and only leading to disarray, and that the Kingdom of God was the only true state to aspire to and to wait for. But, as it was just Purim... I don't know, sitting on your hands and waiting for God to save you isn't exactly the only way to do things in Judaism now is it?

"The saints are never the kind of killjoy spinster aunts who go in for faultfinding and lack all sense of humor."
Hans Urs von Balthasar.
May add bigots. Zealots. Dogmatics. Fanatics.
Seriously: Beware of these bad spirits that ruin everything... ;)

Scripture of the Day—April 20, 2024
Which Bible Prophecies Were Fulfilled After the Canonized Scriptures—that We can Find in History Books?
From the Bible’s King James Version
Part 5 of a Series
PROPHECY:
Luke 11:44-51 - Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.
Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying—you reproach us also.
And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for you lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and you yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
Woe unto you! for you build the sepulchers of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. Truly you bear witness that you allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and you build their sepulchers!
Therefore also said the wisdom of God, “I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute: That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world—may be required of this generation: From the blood of Abel unto the blood of ZACHARIAS, which PERISHED BETWEEN THE ALTAR AND THE TEMPLE: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation. “
FULFILLMENT:
“Wars of the Jews” book 4, chapter 5, section 4 - And now these zealots and Idumeans were quite weary of barely killing men, so they had the impudence of setting up fictitious tribunals and judicatures for that purpose; and as they intended to have Zacharias the son of Baruch, one of the most eminent of the citizens—slain; provoked by his hatred of wickedness and love of liberty: he was also a rich man, so that by taking him off, they did not only hope to seize his effects, but also to get rid of a man that had great power to destroy them.
So they called together—seventy of the principal men of the populace, for a show, as if they were real judges. Before these—was Zacharias accused of a design to betray their polity to the Romans, and having traitorously sent to Vespasian for that purpose. Now there appeared no proof or sign of what he was accused; but they affirmed themselves that so it was.
Now when Zacharias clearly saw that there was no way for his escape, as having been called before them, with no intention of a legal trial—he took great liberty of speech in that despair of life he was under. Accordingly he stood up, and laughed at their pretended accusation, and in a few words confuted the crimes laid to his charge; after which he turned his speech to his accusers, and went over distinctly—all their transgressions of the law, and *made heavy lamentation upon the confusion they had brought public affairs to.*
Now the seventy judges brought in their verdict that the person accused was not guilty, as choosing rather to die themselves with him, than to have his death laid at their doors; hereupon, two of the boldest of the zealots fell upon Zacharias in the middle of the temple, and slew him; They also threw him down immediately into the valley below.”
*This part reminds me of another prophecy fulfilled with the slaying of Zacharias ‘between the temple and the altar’. Zacharias made heavy lamentation upon the confusion they had brought public affairs to; and Prophet Joel, describing the army and the war in the Day of the Lord, said this: “Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, ‘Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, ‘Where is their God‘?”

American Alternate Reality of the Gaza Genocide
Adnan Ahmed / Unicorn Riot
Looking at our social media feeds, it appears as if some of us are existing in a Pleasantville-esque parallel universe where a genocide… is not being livestreamed. People are posting vacation pictures and influencers are bragging about eating endless shrimp inside the White House amid a hunger strike happening outside to protest the killing of Palestinians.
Beyonce and Taylor Swift are screening their movies in Israel while Gazans are digging their family members out of rubble and carrying dismembered remains of their loved ones in plastic bags.
…
Meanwhile, across the U.S., institutions and politicians have been busy pledging allegiance to the ideals of Zionism and mislabeling criticism of Israel as antisemitism. when the number of killed Palestinians was in the tens of thousands — the U.S. House of Representatives passed House Resolution 888, which effectively attacks any form of organizing for Palestinian liberation and ignores the fact that Israel defines its existence in the ongoing brutal occupation and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians. The resolution was passed 412 to 1 and was supported by several members of The Squad, including U.S. Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY14), Jamaal Bowman (D-NY16) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN5). It was a thinly veiled attempt at equating anti-Zionism with antisemitism.
But it obviously did not go far enough for some members of the House and just days later they passed another resolution (House Resolution 894) that explicitly states, “anti-Zionism is antisemitism.”
The new resolution, apparently too blatantly racist to be supported by The Squad and a handful of Democrats and one Republican, still passed with a clear majority. Ninety-five Democrats voted to support HR 894.
Legislation against pro-Palestinian organizing has seen an uptick in recent years. Just four years ago, Democrats overwhelmingly voted for a resolution that passed the U.S. House rejecting the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign. BDS is an international peaceful movement seeking to end support for the Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands. As of August 2023, over 30 states have passed anti-BDS legislation. …
President Trump signed an executive order that expanded Title VI of the 1964 Civil Right Acts to include discrimination based in antisemitism. The order directed institutions to use the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism which cites criticism of Israel as an example of antisemitism. …
President Biden, upon taking office, did not undo this executive order. Trump’s executive order — adopted by the Biden Administration as its policy — is now bearing fruit and Jewish students across the country are suing universities for Title VI violations, against the backdrop of increased campus activism opposing Israel’s atrocities.
This “moderate racism” is a clear example of how the Democratic Party tends to position itself just to the left of the Republicans. Democrats are experts at this game of creeping rightward while shifting focus from their own ineffectiveness and racist and discriminatory practices to highlighting the awfulness of their opponents — opponents that they often covertly support.
The Democratic Party actually spends money to bolster far-right candidates to make themselves seem palatable. They do this while cracking down on movements for Palestinian liberation, Black Lives Matter protests, trans rights, undocumented immigrants and unions to protect corporate interests.
The modern day Democratic Party has a legacy of racism in this country. President Roosevelt sent over 125,000 Japanese-Americans into internment camps. Decades ago, Biden himself crafted legislation that allowed the U.S. to lead the world in its population of prisoners. President Obama was nicknamed the “deporter in chief” for authorizing a record number of deportations. Just in his first year in office, Obama authorized more drone strikes than his predecessor, George W. Bush, during his entire presidency. Despite voicing opposition to it while on the campaign trail, Biden has waived 26 federal laws, including environmental laws, to complete construction of Trump’s racist border wall. Unsurprisingly, the Democrats, staying true to their fundamentally rightwing nature, have largely supported Israel in its most recent attacks on Palestinians. …
Politicians, academics, institutional heads and celebrities too often only speak up for human rights when it benefits them. We don’t need to hold our breath waiting for them to do the right thing and we don’t need their permission to speak up. The victim-blaming ruling class alternate reality survives on our docility and obedience. It thrives on the conviction that we can be exploited and intimidated into submission.
We tend to either look the other way by willing ourselves to not see what is happening or are afraid of facing repercussions for speaking out. At the core of our silence lies a false belief that we are powerless and alone. That all we can do — and should do — is shut up, go to work and vote every few years for a new oppressor. This myth is being shattered by the massive support for Palestinians from regular people across the globe despite ongoing repression to deter us. The cause for Palestinian liberation is an opportunity for us to recognize our collective strength and realize that our silence is not worth allowing a genocide to continue.

Rejecting Christian Nationalism is exactly what Jesus would do. Scripture has never supported the idea. Also, it's still fun to point out that the United States was never founded on religious principle.
Just take the First Amendment as evidence; the forefathers established a separation of church and state that prohibited the federal government from making any law "respecting an establishment of religion." They also prohibited the government from interfering with your own religious beliefs or practices.
Sidenote: Literally no one I ever saw praying in school was bullied or harassed for it. Radicalization is the last thing kids fucking need.

but the problem with zealots and bigots is that they have lied to themselves for so long that when faced with the truth, they have no choice but to deny what lies therein...

Every single Christian had their ancestral cultural deities and spiritualities forcibly and violently stripped from them ages ago.
To see Christians constantly trying to pass laws that outlaw any way of life but theirs, and acting like they are being or have ever been persecuted when they are both a part of the largest organized religion in the world and also have been taken in by a very savage and tyrannical theism without choice of their own, is a kind of horror and frustration that can be difficult to stand against.
