Defiant Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu doubled down on opposition to Palestinian statehood, deepening the divide with Israel’s closest international allies, as cracks in his wartime “unity” government became increasingly evident.

Anger with Netanyahu is also increasingly visible on the streets, even though there is broad public support for the war. On Saturday, protesters gathered in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Caesarea and Kfar Saba, some calling for bolder action to secure the release of hostages, and others demanding the prime minister step down.

One in Jerusalem held a placard that read: “Mothers’ cry: we will not sacrifice our children in the war to save the rightwing.”

That we allow religion to hold such massive sway is such a point of shame for our species, and out countries.

Not only that, it’s also a complete crazy pants interpretation of the Christian Bible. US politics is held captive by lunatics.

I mean, the Bible is the one with the Book of Revelations. Mainstream Christianity, despite saying "don't read that book!" still seems intent on keeping it in the New Testament.
