CW for childhood bs and brief mention of , racism/white supremacy
All right, this is finally something I have wanted to talk about for a while. I grew up in the US in the-other-South in one of those interim Protestant marginally pro-zionist households with a church and family that was trending toward MAGA evangelical Christianity and all that entails. As a young geography nerd(geography bee school champion in the 5th grade nbd nbd) I might have been more clued into this stuff than I should have been which is why I even asked my family about Israel in the first place. These fully grown adults told me that the Israelis in Israel were the same Israelis that we read about in the Bible in church and Sunday school every week. Forgive me, but lying to children is bad. And a sin, if you believe in that sort of thing. Matthew 18:6
I think it is worth dissecting the lie and to contextualize where it came from. Otherwise, we will wind up confused, like our dear President Lolita Express. What you are hearing from Bill here is the lie that US Christians have been telling themselves for the past 50 years to protect their white supremacy and commit and contribute to genocide without ever having to feel bad or reflect on it.
My grandfather served in the US military during WWII, but didn't go overseas. When I knew him he couldn't get enough of the History Channel WWII docs. He once got mad at a Sikh person for wearing a turban on Wheel of Fortune and immediately became irate that Pat Sajak would allow a Muslim person on his favorite game show, like 8 years after 9/11.
We wouldn't really talk about Israel or Jewish people in our household or church but what we did talk about was Jesus' apocalyptic return. This is the pre-internet 90s, everything I know comes from the people around me. And these people, my family, told frightening stories. What I knew about Jewish people is that they were going to hell for not being Christian, same with the Mormons and the JWs and everyone else.
My aunt was addicted to those Left Behind novels, we watched the movie Tribulation with Gary Busey half a dozen times. In our household, the End Times were upon us, imminently. But in the meantime, our church began bringing in wackier and wackier speakers, evolution and stem cell therapies were a hot topic for denouncement from the pulpit every Sunday. And we celebrated sending missionaries to Ukraine(true story). As it turns out, it was always just about white supremacy, our old church had been a meeting place for the KKK in the 50s, and in the 80s my grandmother had led the movement to resegregate the black and white Baptist congregations in our city, which was successful as I don't think I ever saw a black person in our church. One of the Republican state senators who wrote my state's anti-trans 'bathroom bill' was a prominent member of our church
This is all to say that I had no idea what a Palestinian was until maybe 2010. I've learned a lot since then.
(I am going to continue a little later. Full sending this first half before my screen goes blank.)
So I assume all the settlers will be moving out of the US and back to Europe immediately? After all, the Native American peoples were there first.
Fucking Clinton crime family, all of those fuckers are just despicable.
"Want to kill Israelis" hundreds of thousands of palestinians are dead. Famine so bad IPC classification It estimates that 677,000 people, or 32% of all Gazans, are in “catastrophic” conditions today and a further 41% are in “emergency” conditions. It expects fully half of Gazans, more than 1 million people, to be in “catastrophe” or “famine” within weeks. "comparison, the worst famine on the IPC record books struck Somalia in 2011, through a combination of war, drought and a shutoff in aid. At its nadir, 490,000 people were in “catastrophe” conditions with a larger number in “emergency” conditions. An estimated 258,000 people perished over 18 months."
"Make israel uninhabitable " "It could take 350 years for Gaza to rebuild if it remains under a blockade, UN report says
Shut up
Those are Zionist talking points to justify colonialism, there’s no connection to the current settlers occupying Palestine.
Also, Bill “Epstein” Clinton should stop breathing.
If people ever wonder what Germany would have been like today if the Nazis had won, all you have to do is to look at America.
I'll fedpost for you
Bill clinton, I hope you get -d
Bill Clinton just endorsed unlimited genocide on americans because they weren't there first.
That is a shit tonne of work for the poor natives. Better put the settlers on a diet first.
So if one calls a country "Roman Empire" that means they were there before and have a right over the entire Mediterranean?
I'm still blackmailed to death by Pissreal so you have to support them too!
Berating people for the crime of compassion. Bold move, Cotton. Idk if I were I'd try to keep the Esptien particles as far away from my campaign as possible. But this is Kopmala so......
Its funny to me that people think being a Rhodes Scholar is a prestigious thing. Every one I know of is a complete idiot ghoul
It may even be a red flag because it seems like it's a crony position given to fail kids so they don't stay fail kids.
i coulda sworn we had him in the speed dealer sunnies but now i cant find it so i guess not
If blood and soil mattered — which it shouldn't unless you are a literal fucking fascist ffs I mean jfc — the Palestinians have the best claim to being the descendents of those tribes anyway.
Monica Lewinsky did nothing wrong unlimited blue dresses on the Clinton household
This but unironically. She was sexually assaulted by her insanely powerful boss who should be rotting in the clink instead of standing at the podium
