I would like to apologize in advance if this post comes off as angry. But I’m angry. I’m angry at all this unfair bloodshed and I’m angry at feeling betrayed by fellow Christians. I’m angry at ignorance. I’m angry at propaganda that shoves misconstrued realities down peoples’ throats.
I am aware that most of the Christians I know are westernized, and thus, like myself, have been raised with Zionistic, anti-Islamic viewpoints. But I hope that if nothing else, then through this blog post you would at least consider the other side: there are Christians who love Jesus as much as you do, they’re Palestinian, and they can’t support what Israel is doing.
I’m not an expert on this topic, and I don’t claim to have an expert understanding of it. All I have is personal experience, personal study, and personal conviction. I really appreciate you taking the time to hear me out.
I’d like to jog your memory for a brief moment. Would that be alright?

I stand somewhat corrected. Jonah’s tomb was in a mosque, not a church.
Agitprop. She could improve her thinking with a self-inflicted hole in one.
Dear Ronia,
Yes yes, you’re a good dhimmi. Keep spouting Jew-hatred loudly enough, and maybe your Muslim “friends” will kill you last.
Love and kisses,

Nazareth is in Northern Israel, and is not under PA control; I saw no shortage of Christians when I visited there about a decade ago. Bethlehem *is* under PA control, and has been more-or-less ethnically cleansed of Christians.
Hmmm....that explains the huge Christmas celebrations in the Nazareth town square that I saw on TV last year. Yule trees, decorations, Santa Claus, churches decked in lights, etc.
Seemed strange given what I had assumed.
Glad I could help.
Stupid is as stupid says.
You read through the whole thing? I tried, but even skimming it, the manipulation and fluff were at toxic levels.
You don't have to be.
You just have to decide which side in behaving in a civilized manner.
Then you support that side.
Occasionally an Israeli behaves in an uncivilized fashion. The Israelis promptly squash that person.
Quite often the Arab settlers behave in an uncivilized fashion. Not only in Israel but in every country that has tried to take them in. They are cheered and hailed as heroes by the Arab settlers.
In this case I side with Israel because they are the civilized.
Because while civilization may chafe me a bit it is the best way for the majority of humans to live.
Yup. Under the rubric of “know your enemy.”
Pretty sure it cost me 20 IQ points doing so, though...
At least. You don’t really need to know your enemy that well. A few more like that, and they’ll start making sense to you, and then you’ll need to smack yourself around before you join OWS, or something.
LOL. don’t worry, not going to happen...
LOL, don’t worry, not going to happen. After all, I am a dyed in the wool Texan...
Oh. That explains it. If you were a Northeasterner or West Coaster, you’d be susceptible. But Texans are immune. Some sort of gene or something.
LOL. Actually, I was born in Ohio. Lived in 5 states. But knew I was “home” when I first stepped foot in Texas.
Texas is a place. But it is also an attitude.
PS To any libs reading this, we are also a bunch of gun totting racist Bible nuts. And the weather is awful. Tornados kill thousands every week. Then there are the poisonous Texas Killer Butterflies. If their wings brush you, it’s 6 weeks in the hospital. If they bite, you die.
PPS Actually convinced a female California lib about the Texas Killer Butterflies. LOL again.
“Actually convinced a female California lib about the Texas Killer Butterflies. “
Y-you mean it wasn’t so?
Well, here in Israel we do have scorpions and poisonous snakes, but mostly it’s Palis and leftists that you have to watch out for.
Like she has Christian friends....
