      I was begging people to listen. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are fucking failures but Harris, while still a milquetoast cop, would have at some point stopped supporting Israel because of optics. Probably after too many were already dead of course. But the actual theology of mainline Christianity involves prophecies where both Israel and everyone on all sides of her suffer inconceivably. Christians have reversed the causation so that by causing, hopefully, a nuclear hot war in the Middle East they literally think Jesus will come back. There is and was NO ROOM for Palestinians in this plan. Not a one. There is, in fact, no room for anybody but the sanctified corpses of Jews the Christians only used as pawns and their own selves just waiting on the smoking ruins for Jesus. This is WHY Americans support Israel and even the Democrats still sell them guns: They virtue signal being Christian for campaigning optics, and that means selling guns to God’s chosen fall guys. I tell you with 100% certainty Netanyahu knows this very basic fact about the American Christian right and exploited it to stay in power and out of jail. Trump needed to win an election to stay out of jail. October 7th was perfect timing for them. The idiot “faithful” democrats had to virtue signal their adherence to iron age thought systems or the so-called moderate vote they believed in would completely evaporate. Well, they were never going to win that game if they were playing with conservative Christians in practically their home town of Israel Apocalypse stuff.

      Yeah this is why I argued what I argued. This is why I dealt with getting called an idiot, centrist, and a shill. The plan by our administration and the rich Israelis is to let Israel stir up a general war, maybe even a nuclear exchange, let all those pesky people in the holy land erradicate eachother. The more they do and the more violently and brutally they do it, the harder the ripcord of Christofascism is yanked. I’m not really looking forward to seeing what these people are like when they think they’re literally all bit players in the Book of Revelarions.

        This is one of the recent reasons why the US supports the state of Israel, but it is on top of many more historical reasons. Don’t get me wrong I don’t mean justifiable ones.

        For instance: Zionism, British imperial rule exercising its power and then loosing it, wanting a foot in west Asia because the were trying to establish democratic institutions in the 60’s-70’s, to name just a few

    Are they seriously going rogue all of a sudden or what? They seemingly got so drunk that they’re basically speedrunning attacking countries now. AND NOBODY WHO MATTERS SEEMS TO STOP IT.

    Also worth noting, there were 2 ships attacked in Tunisia, one under the Portuguese flag, and one under the British flag.
