Comment on America and it's racism and Israel?

GreenBeard@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

American Christians have always had a complex relationship with Judaism. On the one hand the American sentiment toward racial, ethnic, and religious purity is deeply ingrained and an important control mechanism for the corporate aristocracy. On the other hand it’s very clear that textually they don’t get heaven if Jews don’t control Jeruselem and rebuild the Jewish temple… again. How they square this tension is individual. Most don’t know or care that it’s a self-contradictory position. Of those who know, most do the “God works in mysterious ways” thing, and there’s also a menagerie of different smaller attempts to rationalize it, only a few of which include actually discarding racism. Ultimately it almost always boils down to a contradiction though, so yes, fundamentally, their answer is hypocrisy, or just ignoring the conflict altogether.
