He's not wrong from a BIBLICAL standpoint.
The Bible also says disobedient children should be murdered. The Bible says that if you rape a child, you have to give her dad $50 and marry her. The Bible is OBSESSED with foreskin collection.
It says a lot of very stupid tripe, that's why nobody bothers following it.
I always laugh at this argument, because there's a more amusing argument. Yeah, it's Israel's land and they're G-d's chosen people. But multiple times in the Bible G-d has taken that land from them and even had them enslaved by nearby nations! At this point in the mythos, G-d, the Messiah, has yet to reveal himself. He's still in silence lol So, based on all that, it sounds like Israel needs to take some responsibility for what they do.
The Bible is OBSESSED with foreskin collection.
That makes sense tho...
Like Old Testament was for the one group in the area who removed those as children. No adult spy would do that for cover, and it would take substantial time to heal to pass
So it wasn't "we love foreskins, gimmie them foreskins" as much as "give me the one thing that proved you killed an adult man who wasn't part of us".
It was genocide, if you weren't part of 'the tribe' you were an enemy and should be killed.
So yeah, totally evil, but logical.
Christian Zionism is a deranged cult.
Well I have a God given right to punch Huckabee straight in the face.
It's in the Bible, somewhere...
Excited to hear Mike Huckabee's other theories on which ethnic groups enjoy sovereignty over which geographic regions
Religious rationalizations are irrelevant.
Entire Middle East Land.
Fuck you NBC for continuing to sanewash your batshit headlines on actual, batshit people saying batshit stuff. Just editing out ONE word changes the tone of this article for the millions of people who will glance at it and shrug.
They want ALL of the Middle East, Mike said they have a mandate or some such shit to be entitled to basically the entire nation of Egypt all the way across Iran and down across Saudi Arabia and the UAE. For those not proficient in geography, that's a region of land over half the size of the US and occupied by hundreds of millions of people, who likely do not want to be converted into rubble so that Israel can expand indefinitely.
But God and Allah are the same entity?! Is he sure Allah is keen on this?
God damn he got old.
I'd like to see that progress rapidly to a natural conclusion, honestly. Thankfully he's not in the news much anymore, but all things considered it would be harder to find a bigger gaping asshole even in this land of self-glorified assholes, which is currently enjoying its own golden age of assholery. He's like asshole emeritus now.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
