The background is Blue.

The words are MAGA.

I wonder if there is a term for this.

Sorry I'm told I'm not allowed to criticize Democrats so call me John Banner.

I just wrote a book that says that Chuck Schumer's house is on my ancestral homeland, because my deity says so. That makes it Chuck's fault when I drop bombs on it.

Does it have to be written in a book to qualify? I'm pretty sure there are several Native American tribes that might have something to say about this.

I'm sure it has to be written in a book for Chuck Schumer to think it qualifies.

Just a reminder, no, the torah explicitly says jews have no nation because they offended god. Until god himself comes down and reverses that decision, jews adhering to their religion cannot be members of government for a state owned and controlled by jewish people.

Zionism is antisemitic, and the opposite of the jewish religion.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago

Indeed, knowing the full context makes it even more ridiculous.

Religious Jews fought back against Zionism during its inception.

It's insane how many people have died because of arguments over who has the best Invisible Friend.

And if I say your book is blasphemy? Jesus, no pun intended, these religious weirdos just can't take the hint that maybe their religious texts are total BS. They truly don't believe in religious freedom.

The worst part, there’s no speaking sense to them. Their views are unimpugnable, as god himself wrought them. No earthly authority can alter their course

Fascists are always assholes first. The fascism only serves to rationalize the behaviour.

So if I find an older book that says Israel belongs to me and only me they have to leave and I can turn the Wailing Wall into a sick half pipe?

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well I found an older book that says their copper ingots are of insufficient quality.

Always remember, the Palestinians have been there longer than the Hebrews.

There’s whole sections of the Torah that gleefully recount the Hebrew invasion and destruction of cities.

They make children sing the glories of the Battle of Jericho in Sunday school. A battle that ended with the deaths of everyone in the city.

Yeah, the Old Testament/Torah is horrifying. People really should actually read it.

If this chucklefuck showed up to your door and said that your home is now part of the Jewish state because the Torah said so, I think we know how most people would respond.

Religion is a monstrous evil.

[–] bishbosh@lemm.ee 17 points 1 week ago (19 children)

Settler colonialism is the evil, religion is the excuse.

There's an old Yiddish song that comes to mind whenever I read stuff like this, אוי, איר נארישע ציוניסטן
