I'm so tired of being trapped in the middle of this psychotic Jewish psychodrama. Can we just agree to stop killing, starving, orphaning and mutilating kids?

US religious fanatics say no. Sorry.

best we can do is arrest and brutalize college kids while appointing real antisemites to high places in the white house apparently

Germany's government is also one million percent behind the gaza genocide.

Which is wholly ironic when you think about it. Jesus was born in Bethlehem, which is modern day Palestine. Israel is basically spawn camping the second-coming.

You’re actually hitting on something significant: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Zionism

Some Christian Zionists interpret the prophetic texts as describing inevitable future events, and these events primarily involve Israel (taken to mean the descendants of the Biblical patriarch Jacob) or Judah (taken to mean the remaining faithful adherents of Judaism). These prophecies are seen as requiring the presence of a Jewish state in the Holy Land, the central part of the lands promised to the Biblical patriarch Abraham in the Covenant of the pieces. This requirement is sometimes interpreted as being fulfilled by the contemporary state of Israel.

Not “spawn camping” but there is a very real belief in some sects of Christianity that the Zionist project is necessary for prophecy fulfillment.

Interesting. That’s a new one to me. There are so many different interpretations and predictions through 3x translated holy books.

There are also those antisemitic Mel Gibson Christians who believe Jesus won’t return as long as non-believers reside in the holy land.

That's not ironic, it's intentional.

Why would Christians want Israel to kill the second coming of their savior?

It would seem that most of the world's leaders are super into that, actually.
