    Saying Bibi Netanyahu speaks for all Jews is like saying the KKK speaks for all Christians.

      And conversely, saying that Bibi should be removed from office and the Israeli government held accountable for their actions is about as antisemitic as saying that the KKK should be disbanded and the leadership face consequences is anti-Christian.

          I think you may be confusing “devout followers” with “devout adherence to christofascist ideology.”

          Jesus’ views on hate are written down and there to read. Unfortunately, a lot of people who call themselves Christians only listen to what their preacher and radio station tell them, and don’t take the time to read what they say they believe.

          Similarly, not all Jewish people (even practicing Jews) believe that Zionism is the future.

          This is literally a thread about another religious group doing fucked up things. If only it was just Christians.

          All superstition leads to fear and hate. We are on earth a short time. Why spend time, money and energy worshipping a fake god. The opportunity cost is immense.
