Give back the hostages and surrender.  Why hasn't that happened?

Israel isn't the problem.  The focus should be on the fundamentalist Islamic regimes that should be eviserated.  Cut them off economically by usurping their oil for starters.  This should have been done 30+ years ago.

How does one go about usurping their oil?

Quote from: MuggsyB on June 17, 2025, 08:02:15 PMHow many people have died in Ukraine, Russia, Gaza, and Israel?  My opinion is the 5 Point Plan would have saved tons of lives if we acted immediately.  I understand that many people disagree, but that's fine.

Can't disagree (or agree) with a mirage.

Israel is most certainly part of the problem. And there is no way to "usurp their oil." Honestly you're like a child at this point.

Israel is certainly part of the problem.  Zionism is a fascist ideology.

The only reason they exist is we've propped them up as a settler colonial state for 75+ years.  We get our free unsinkable aircraft carrier where the oil is, and they get all of the weapons we can send their way.

And this is what's driving me crazy here. We are now the world's largest oil producer! We don't need to get involved with any of this.

From ChatGPT.

Did God revealed Himself to mankind through the Jewish people?


ChatGPT said:
Yes, in the Judeo-Christian tradition, it is believed that God revealed Himself to humanity through the Jewish people. This belief is central to Judaism and Christianity and is based on the following key points:

In Judaism:
Covenant with Abraham: God made a covenant with Abraham, promising to make his descendants a great nation and to bless the world through them (Genesis 12:1–3).

The Torah at Sinai: The most significant moment of divine revelation in Judaism is when God gave the Torah (Law) to Moses and the Israelites at Mount Sinai. This is seen as a direct revelation of God's will and character.

The Prophets: God continued to communicate with His people through prophets like Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel, who delivered divine messages and guidance.

In Christianity:
Christianity sees the Jewish people as the chosen recipients of God's revelation in the Old Testament, preparing the way for the coming of Jesus Christ, whom Christians believe is the fullest revelation of God.

According to Christian belief, Jesus was born a Jew, fulfilled Jewish prophecies about the Messiah, and extended God's revelation to all nations through his life, death, and resurrection.

Broader Perspective:
This view is not universally accepted by all religions. For example, Islam acknowledges the Jewish prophets but teaches that the final and complete revelation came through Muhammad.

Secular or non-Abrahamic perspectives may interpret these claims metaphorically, historically, or critically.

So, within the Abrahamic religious framework, especially Judaism and Christianity, yes — God is believed to have revealed Himself to mankind through the Jewish people.

I used to support Jesus until he damaged businesses during a protest.

He did destroy the property of some money changers in the temple.

Threads like these constantly remind me how irrational mankind can be, and when it comes to morality, how many people think it is perfectly rational to think that when people unlike me and my beliefs do X, they are terrible, horrible people, but when people like me and my beliefs do X, they are righteous, without any qualms whatsoever.
