The River Perat, commonly identified with the Euphrates River, is situated in the Middle East. It flows through several countries, including Turkey, Syria, and Iraq, before emptying into the Persian Gulf. In biblical contexts, the Euphrates River is often mentioned as a significant boundary in the promises made to the Jewish people regarding the Land of Israel.
It's not just Lebanon. They want it all, because the bible said so. The US needs to stop supplying them with weapons.
The holy book I worship and just wrote (and update from time to time) promises me endless riches, a camel and as much ice cream as I want. They have to obey, it said so in paragraph two.
I kinda understood the disproportionate response for the first few weeks of this war. I just thought they were trying to be thorough, or to make a point, so that those terrorist events didn't happen again. As time went on I started to see more indiscriminate bombing, more killing of civilians, more territory being claimed by Israel.
The pager "supply chain attack" was madness, they had no regard for who might be nearby. That seemed a lot like the terrorism this started this current leg of the conflict and was a clear escalation. They haven't been able to claim self-defense for a very long time. They are clearly the aggressors, and yup, if you try to criticize their actions you are accused of being an anti-zionist or a nazi. It's all so broken and sad.
Why? We're all about validating cruelty under the guise of because the Bible tells me so.
The US, my shithole of birth, will do whatever is in the economic interests of the owner class, and Israel is sadly a very good customer and business partner. But yeah, the politicians will absolutely thump a bible in front of some idiot constituents to keep selling it.
The "Promised Land" should become like the Garden of Eden - Promised to God's people, but God's people fucked up and failed to follow his instructions, so they had to leave.
Return it to the animals. As least they won't send missile strikes wherever they think they should be "living".
That’s weird, where are all the Lemmy liberals here to point out the same tired BS propaganda excuses in the same exact order of increasing dismissiveness until finally completely pretending genocide was even mentioned and immediately pivoting to some weird excuse about how Trump will do the domestic policies that Biden has literally been signing for the past 4 years?
It’s almost like they don’t give a shit about anything and don’t believe in anything.
