Jewish extremists in West Bank pose biggest threat to Israel: report – Pearls and Irritations

They have always been there but have been ignored. They have assassinated Israel’s PM and were forgotten. They are in the Israeli cabinet and have never been as powerful as they are today except for before Israel was created. They are what Israel has become today run by terrorists and gangsters. Ben Gvir has been and still is a terrorist who wants total control of Gaza. While Smotrich ran a blockade against Gaza not to keep Palestinians locked in but to stop Jews from leaving. They are the genocidal maniacs running Israel and Netanyahu is their puppet

The conclusion? “After 50 years of failure to stop violence and terrorism against Palestinians by Jewish ultranationalists, lawlessness has become the law,” to use the words of Bergman and Mazzetti. Yet no Israeli politician will dare say this in public.”

But two highly experienced reporters from The New York Times recently filed an extremely detailed report outlining the threat that the country faces from Jewish terrorists in the occupied West Bank – something which, according to the material they gathered, far exceeds any threat from the sources mentioned above.

Racism

Unearthing racism’s Christian roots: How far-right Christianity quietly fueled Jacksonville shooter | Salon.com

Christians and Jews both turn to the Bible for their inalienable and God-given right Right to do whatever they wish to “nonbelievers” and in particular Black people. Simply ask Ethiopian and Sephardic Jews together with converted Christian First Nation peoples and ask how they’re treated. Even when they’re far stricter and more devout practitioners of their religions.

This distorted Christianity is at the core of our nation’s deep history of racism. Starting from the very beginning of European settlement, colonists used the Bible to claim Christian explorers had a divine right to seize lands that were not inhabited by Christians. They also argued that they had a godly duty to bring the Bible to native lands. These “Biblical” missions left fields of blood and fire behind them.

Then, as colonists took over the South, Christianity became a lynchpin of slavery. Faith leaders and policymakers professed that the Bible contained passages that clearly supported enslavement. For example, they claimed that Noah’s curse on Ham in Genesis 9:20-27 justified the subjugation of Black people. In some areas, slaveholders also distributed tainted Bibles that removed mentions of freedom and equality.

In Sea Change, US Presbyterian Committee brands Israel’s Occupation of Palestinians Apartheid, calls for end to Collective Punishment in Gaza for

 Last week, the International Engagement Committee of the 1.2-million-strong Presbyterian Church passed a resolution entitled, ‘On Recognition That Israel’s Laws, Policies, and Practices Constitute Apartheid Against the Palestinian People.’ There are roughly 75 million Presbyterians around the world, and it has a strong presence in Africa, with 3.4 million members there. The development came in the same month that the seven million US Lutherans came to a similar conclusion. Eric Ledermann and Greg Brekke writing in the Presbyterian Outlook quote commissioner Leslie Latham as saying that she was initially reluctant to use the word Apartheid,

LNP Government

As the world turned to shit, the Coalition turned to religion – » The Australian Independent Media Network

If this didn’t tell you what Morrison and the Pentecostalists were intent on doing then nothing will. They wanted the end to the separation of powers, go the way of Israel and turn Australia into an Apartheid White Christian State. More so they were intent on doing it by stealth. It’s why the religious discrimination bill was their priority if they had won the election.

With all that’s going on in the world – a pointless war, a global pandemic, rampant global heating leading to increasingly severe and compounding natural disasters, superpowers competing over our region, soaring cost of living, rising inflation, unaffordable housing, poverty, social unrest – the last government spent its dying days fighting for a religious discrimination bill we didn’t need and arguing over trans women playing sport.
