The US has a “biblical” duty to support Israel’s annexation of the occupied West Bank, former US President Donald Trump’s ambassador to Israel argues in a new book, unveiling a plan for “one Jewish state" that he said he would share with Trump.
“President Trump has often said that he was indifferent to one state or two states - whatever the parties might agree to,” former US ambassador David Friedman writes in the book, One Jewish State: The Last, Best Hope to Resolve the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.
“His goals always were practical and targeted toward tangible improvements in the quality of life. I believe that if Israel will support this plan, he will as well,” according to a copy of the book obtained by The Forward.
Friedman argues the US should support Israel’s annexation “based first and foremost on biblical prophecies and values”, saying that such a policy “hearkens back to basic Judeo-Christian values of kindness, human dignity, humility and prosperity”.
Friedman told The Forward he will share his annexation plan with Trump “at the appropriate time”.
It’s ok Arabs that say they won’t vote for Harris. Here you go. Take the other edge of the sword and just sign your own death warrant.
And yet people kept calling biden genocide Joe as if this was not the alternative at the time.
Would be very convenient if Trump was in charge right now. But hey, somehow Democrats can project their crimes on Republicans.
And we were promised Trump would be doing the Genocide that Genocide Joe is doing right now.
Apparently crimes only matter when Republicans do them.
Just ban all religion. This crap needs to end.
China did that. They built some vocational centers in Xinijang to “re-educate” religious people. That sure solved everything.
One day you’re standing up for China, and the next you’re kicking it around. I’m beginning to think you just like talking shit to cause trouble. 😘
Human rights isn’t a game of picking sides where they don’t matter if your own side is violating them. Though for most voters that sure seems to be the case.
If only there was some term for a group of people glorifying and praising every aspect of something in a cult-like fashion…
You don’t need to ban it. Just ignore it. Take away their voice from government, like it was supposed to be.
Soviet Russia tried that. Didn’t stop people believing in Christianity. And their anti-theist government wasn’t exactly perfect.
Maybe human ideology is the issue.
I don’t think we should be taking advice on anything from religious people. It simply doesn’t make sense to listen to people who are delusional at best, and maniacal at worst
Edit and I think it’s inherently antisemitic to say that the only reason the Jewish people deserve a homeland is because of religion. No, Jews deserve a place to call their own, and it’s fair that it should be where it is currently because of their historic ties to the region. Neighboring ME countries should accept it and move on. The rise of Zionism had, and still has, roots in European antisemitism, so I don’t believe this Judeo Christian fraternity for a second.
There is no god and the bible and all other religious books are made up. I hope this helps.
