It was the literally reasoning behind why the British Christian generals chose to go ahead with it, in the 1940s.
News to me. Is there some source to this?
British high command, as Palestine was part of the British empire back then. As if you're sealioning the fundamentals of the history of that reason.
I suggest you learn some history about the region before commenting further.
I knew Palestine was British at the time I just never heard that the British elites portrayed as evangelicals before. I always clocked them racist imperialists, not zealots trying to bring about the apocalypse.
Also calm the fuck down. I'm not sealioning. I'm legitimately curious. You're more than welcome to go through my comment history to see I've taken a clear stance on Palestinian liberation.
Youre right, I shouldn't have replied to you like that. Apologies, I've had to deal with some appalling human beings in this thread and it made me overly defensive. Of course, thats still 100% my fault but I hope you might be able to understand how I made that mistake, at least.
Oh yeah, and in one of the ironic twists of ignorance, many religious people use that as proof that god is real and can tell the future. I mean, whatever anyone beleives, with all the details, it's a terrible argument.
