Hyperbole Perhaps, But Mostly True

1. “Judeo-Christian” is a manipulative term cleverly used very successfully to seduce Christians. And it is a very purposeful seduction. For Israelis generally eschew the Golden Rule and the 6th Commandment (Thou shall not murder)–5 million, but still at it–and the 10th Commandment (You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor).

   Three cheers for the bravery of this pastor speaking out. Neocons are sure to bear false witness to destroy him.

   1. I think Baldwin is mostly right, J. Sobran. This is a very costly relationship we have with the Jewish state.

      1. As much as it has cost us, it has costed the residents of the Midde East much more. Brown Univ. has documented that the wars started by Bush II alone killed more than 1 million civilians in Afghanistan and Iraq. Civilians.

         Think of the level of hate generated among the millions of Muslims, even before Israel and their bitch [the US] killed the spiritual leader of 200 MILLION Shia Muslims. The Americans just murdered in Austin are only the beginning of Americans who will die for Israel.

         1. The premise, J. Sobran, that pre-emptive war is justifiable is flawed, unfortunately. You are right that there will be (and there are) many Muslims with deeply embittered feelings toward us. Their leaders, of course, in many cases, have been precipitants or eager participants in these skirmishes. It is a never-ending cycle, unfortunately.

            1. Yes. Social justice… not unlike what happened between European settlers and indigenous Indians during the settling of N. America. A small band of Indians would brutalize a settler family and then the surrounding settlers would form a militia and go kill Indians en masse. And vice versa.

               Social justice=injustice.

               BTW, some historians made a valiant effort to count specifically, and somewhat more white settlers were the victims of massacres than Indians.

               Israel is light years ahead in the 1947-2026 social justice slaughtering.

            2. I don’t know how we can fix it. But that is the point– we can’t.

2. Hyperbole , oh yes. Perhaps some dissembling.

   In 1977 abortion became legal in Israel following Roe.

   Pastor do your homework.

   1. Interesting numbers, Fred. Thanks. Within the Talmudic Jewish community– and the secular Jewish community– there has been an intensity of advocacy for abortion.
