Remember, Israels beginning started way before WW2. They wanted to colonize Palestine as early as the 1890s.
It's fundamental to Zionism, not Judaism.
Conflating Judaism and Zionism is Anti-Semitism.
Oddly enough, it's also the law, which was passed to protect us from %checks notes% antisemitism:
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(4) clearly and firmly states that anti-Zionism is antisemitism;
It's official, America has gone full Nazi Germany.
What an ignorant take. What you're referring to is Zionism.
I feel like this vague statement applies to every religion, as you wouldn’t be following said religion if you didn’t believe it to be “the answer” to life.
As the other guy said though the state of Israel came about from Zionism, which is a fundamentalist sect of Judaism but doesn’t represent all Jews.
Society needs to become secular. I think religion in private life is fine if people need it, but religion doesn’t have a place in politics, law, policy etc. in any country.
Separation of church and state.
So...which Abrahimic religion doesn't believe in their own supremacy?
Remind me, how did Islam spread through the region and displaced the previous indigenous religions, like Zoroastrianism? I'll give you a hint: the same way Christianity did.
Yep, that's right: conquest, displacement, and conversion.
Zionism is not Judaism. Just like Wahhabism isn't Islam.
Although, I think we can all agree that if the snake handling practices of Appalachian Pentecostals was a universal Christian rite, that'd be pretty fucking hilarious.
