It's Crazy And Evil To Support Israel's Atrocities Because You Think God Wants You To

INVENTION OF GOD - FOLLOW THE MONEY

Caitlin Johnstone

It’s generally considered impolite to tell people they should change their religious beliefs, but if your religion tells you to help murder tens of thousands of children in a genocidal onslaught, you should change your religious beliefs.

The U.S. is so spiritually bankrupt that there are literally tens of millions of Americans who support Israel’s genocidal atrocities in Gaza because they think God wants them to.

How gross is that? There is a massive, politically engaged demographic in the United States whose idea of an actualized spirituality is demanding that their government keep giving weapons to an apartheid state which is currently raining military explosives onto a giant concentration camp full of children.

I’m not primarily talking about Jews here. There are an estimated 30 million Christian Zionists in the United States, which is about twice the total population of Jews in the entire world (Zionist and non-Zionist). That’s just members of Christian churches which are explicitly Zionist as a whole; there are also other Americans who support Israel for religious reasons as individuals. Christian Zionists support modern Israel because they believe its existence will help fulfill a biblical prophecy and bring about the second coming of Jesus, who will take them all to Heaven and send all the unbelievers (including Jews) to Hell.

Together, Christian and Jewish Zionists in the United States comprise an extremely powerful voting block who aggressively push Washington to support Israel and its various mass atrocities throughout the years, continuing with what we are seeing in Gaza today. Because their religion tells them it’s what God wants.

Which just gets more pathetic the more you think about it. I mean even if I believed in all that stuff, and even if Actual Biblical God came up to me Himself and told me to help kill tens of thousands of children, I personally would tell Yahweh to go suck a dick.
