When people say this shit, are they arguing that it's ok to kill children?

[–] alphanerd4@lemmy.world 44 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Frankly, . Yeah. “War is war” is the phrase i have heard most often. It makes me wonder about what exactly the second invasion of Iraq looked like on the ground.

We've all heard stories, none of them good

I didn't have to hear stories. I saw. Not because I was there.

My cousin took his digital camera with him. He has a BLAST showing off his photos when he got home. I've never been so sickened up to that point in my life.

It was a game to most of them.

Some of them went over there broken, and some came home broken. Either way it's a tragedy

Christian evangelicals are the worst offenders. You would think that they would support Palestine on the basis that their Christian population is the oldest Christian community in the world but no. They have to support Israel because of "end time prophecies", "Rapture/Revelations" or other bullshit.

Most of what you said would be news to Christian evangelicals. Also they wouldn't care.

Yep. Evangelicalism was born through the teachings of the Scofield Reference (or Study) Bible. It's a pro-Zionist narrative injected into the Christian faith. If my memory serves me right, the King James version of the Bible is the bible that intermixed with Zionism.

I live in an area where there's Christian Arabs, they are far different than Christians from the Western world. Almost night and day differences.

It's a sad time in America when even politicians walk by protestors calling them, "terrorists"...

So... not killing children of a certain race (that definitely isn't Jewish) is antisemitism? How the fuck do these two things line up? They really shouldn't.

They're CHILDREN, not parasites.
