    We’ll of course they do. It’s written in their texts that Armageddon will come when the Jewish homeland is complete, right? It’s all in support of Jesus’s return and in his name. Not exactly the first time in history.

      Nope.

      For their Armageddon story, Israel needs to be a Jewish Kingdom, not just a state, a literal kingdom for only Jewish people.

      Then they need to have a big ass war against some “invaders”. That war will spiral out involving every country in the world, which will become Armageddon and result in the complete destruction of the planet and all the “right” flavor of Christians will then get pulled up to heaven while everyone else suffers as Earth becomes “new hell”.

      It’s important to be clear, because they are seriously and intentionally trying to start WW3 (this time with even more nukes!). And because death cults always think end times will happen in their lifetime, they give zero fucks about how the planet is. In their eyes nothing really matters because any day now the Earth is getting destroyed anyways.

    I don’t think people truly understand how batshit insane Abrahamic religions have been all the way back to their very inception.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Evangelical conservatives are a key part of the Republican party’s coalition, and these religious voters - and politicians - have a connection to the state of Israel that runs deep.

    Quoting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he called the conflict between Israel and Hamas “a fight between good and evil, between light and darkness, between civilisation and barbarism”.

    “It is my hope that this gathering today serves as a reminder to the entire world, but also to those within our own borders, that the United States stands proudly with Israel and the Jewish people forever,” he said.

    While the two congressional leaders, along with President Joe Biden, have been firm in their support for Israel following the attack, a growing number on the left are calling attention to Palestinian civilian casualties and condemning the Israeli military campaign.

    When a standalone bill providing $14.3bn (£11.5bn) in US aid to Israel was introduced in the House of Representatives, only two Republicans - Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Thomas Massie of Kentucky - voted no.

    Their isolated opposition is a far cry from the significant and growing number of Republicans who oppose continued US support for Ukraine, the world’s other current major international conflict.
