A Strange American Dichotomy

Trey Smith

The morons who rule the American sheeple are not only dumb and blind, they are deaf as well. The ears of the American “superpower” only work when the Israeli prime minister, the crazed Netanyahu, speaks. Then Washington hears everything and rushes to comply.

Israel is a tiny insignificant state, created by the careless British and the stupid Americans. It has no power except what its American protector provides. Yet, despite Israel’s insignificance, it rules Washington.

When a resolution introduced by the Israel Lobby is delivered to Congress, it passes unanimously. If Israel wants war, Israel gets its wish. When Israel commits war crimes against Palestinians and Lebanon and is damned by the hundred plus UN resolutions passed against Israel’s criminal actions, the US bails Israel out of trouble with its veto.

The power that tiny Israel exercises over the “world’s only superpower” is unique in history. Tens of millions of “Christians” bow down to this power, reinforcing it, moved by the exhortations of their “Christian” ministers.

In all honesty, this reverence of Israel has always perplexed me. Led by Christian leaders of all stripes (as well as conservative Jews), Israel can do no wrong in the eyes of the American government.

The part that really befuddles me is the Christian angle. From the standpoint of Christendom, it was the Jews who murdered Jesus. Yes, the crucifixion was carried out by the Roman authorities, but according to the stories in the Bible, this was done at the behest of Jewish leaders. Throughout history Christians have held this interpreted sequence of events against the followers of Judaism and yet these same Christians today bow down at the feet of their chief religious adversary.

Because the Jews have been held responsible for the death of the "Christ," Jews have been discriminated against and worse ever since. The annals of history record that Jews were thrown out of country after country. In those nations in which they were allowed to stay, they often lived under oppressive restrictions. Not only were the Jews tortured and murdered by the Nazis during the Holocaust, but they suffered this same fate at the hands of other regimes as well.

I know of a lot of Christians who don't trust Jewish people as far as they can throw them. They paint them as greedy and power hungry. They look down on their religious practices and, of course, they still hold much animus against them for being Jesus killers.

Despite all this negativity toward Jews, fundamentalist Christians are some of the biggest cheerleaders for all things Israel. If Israel wants to attack Egypt or Iran, these people are all for it. If Israel wants to abuse the Palestinians, these people give them a big thumbs up.

What I simply do not understand is how a conservative Christian can hate Jews so much, but love Israel. Has anyone ever pointed out to them that Israel is the homeland OF the Jews?
