Next step: Israel less and less called a "Jewish State" but a Zionist one --since it is analog to calling "Christian State" a Crusader one.

If you are worried that a bull-statue is a Satanic symbol, the odds are very high that you think that Israel must be encouraged to conquer from the River of Egypt to the Euphrates, so that then the monstrous powers of Gog and Magog will attack and destroy them, as payback for and as a demonstration to the world of God’s wrath at them for their sin of rejecting Jesus Christ: **Trump’s State Department’s Obsession with What They Fear Are Satanic Bull-Statues: Laugh of the Day** Or, rather... 1/ Related

The current moment of AI doomerism reminds me so much of the millenarian, apocalyptic thinking of evangelical Christianity it’s uncanny I think it’s safe to say that the Singularity was modeled directly after the Apocalypse/Tribulation/Rapture/End Times, whether consciously or unconsciously This isn’t widely known, but the bestselling nonfiction book of the entire 1970s was Hal Lindsey’s The Late Great Planet Earth. It claimed to predict the imminent end times by mapping biblical prophecy to current events, like Israel’s founding as a state, the Soviet Union, and nuclear weapons He predicted… Related

In my kitchen there is a jar of honey gifted to me by Phil Rosenberg, the President of the Board of Deputies, who insisted I take it home for my family, along with a bag of apples, because it would not be a proper new year otherwise. So let me begin the simple way: Shana tova u'metuka. A good and sweet new year to every Jewish family in Britain. The custom of dipping an apple in honey is one of the most hopeful things I know. It is not a claim that the year gone by was sweet. It is a decision that the year ahead should be. And I know that the year behind us has been anything but. Two Jewish m… Related

In a difficult and dangerous world, a decade on from Brexit, there is a risk that Britain loses the confidence to lead and stand up for its values. I’m not prepared to let that happen. It is more important than ever that Britain stands for something. We have called for years for a two-state solution in the Middle East, but we must recognise that those words are meaningless unless we back them up with action. For too long, we have been hesitant to act, fearful of being accused of being anti-Israel. Today we are announcing carefully judged, targeted steps that are not aimed at the Israeli peopl… Related

The Jewish population on Earth is still below pre-holocaust levels. The Palestinians? Yes the people who repeatedly (back to 1948) rejected generous two state solutions in favor of violence and insistence on a one state solution from the river to the sea are the true victims here. You know, I still think it was the 6 mm industrially murdered Jews. Quoting @mattxiv “nazis got off relatively unpunished for the holocaust while palestinians ended up paying for it despite having nothing to do with it” is not antisemitic, it’s factual and obvious Related

We send our love and support to the Jewish community in Manchester and beyond who last night gathered to remember Melvin Cravitz and Adrian Daulby, who were killed defending their synagogue last year. My thoughts are with their families and all those who have been affected by the attack. I know for many Jewish people, the sorrow and fear from that day has not lifted and I know we must do more to protect communities across the country. I want Jewish people to know that their safety is a priority of mine and I’m determined to stamp out antisemitism for good. Related

A government confident it's policy should be able to answer basic questions: is Norway opposing settlements—or making Jewish presence itself the test?

Fascinating subject. Countries are made of stories. Kings didn’t need their subjects to agree, but nations do. So to build a nation, they need to make a story that helps people feel a shared identity, nationalism, and what distinguishes them from their neighbors. Back-creating a history. Founders of Israel did this brilliantly.

korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
