Promised Land

fun fact.

The US army gave people ammunition for free if it was used to kill bison for a period of time.

Bison almost went extinct.

Bison were a source of food for the natives.

I love american history!

It’s just greed. They throw in god’s name to relieve themselves of any personal responsibility.

Ok. Native here. Get out, both of you.

Reminds me of this.

I think at this stage we can just call manifest destiny "Americanism."

I've met a guy who no shit said this to me as if it was a justification for Israel's actions in Gaza.

The notion of a "promised land" is a lie humans tell to themselves to monopolise the resources we all share with all living things.

So, if they kill in the name of God, why aren't we calling them "terrorists" by now like we do with any other religious group, i.e. muslims ... or ... mhhhm... or.. wait... do we call anyone else terrorists, besides muslims?

So dominant (heart) :)

This comic would have been just as effective--and less insulting--had they not included the explanation at the top; the graphic gets the point across just fine.

As someone who's been referred to on here as a "Christian fundamentalist", I struggle to see the theological justification for either of these events. Although I probably don't have much to say in regards to these Jews as it's a different religion, but I don't understand why some Christians are obsessed with Israel and specifically these Jews having it.

Who are you trying to convince to do what, exactly?

The situation isn’t comparable. The majority of Jews in Israel are not European (or from anywhere else), they’re native Israeli and they trace their roots to Israel back for millennia.

The problem is not that Israelis want to live there. They have a right to live there. The problem is that they’re depriving Palestinians of their right to live there instead of seeking peaceful coexistence.

This is dumb propaganda on so many levels. Zionism isn’t a religious movement. Israelis are not primarily white. This equation is just dumb af

Linkerbaan, where are you yourself from?

Palestinians aren't natives. they migrated at the same time as everyone else, 1 million people in 10 years.

Well, except Europeans never lived in America before Columbus, but Jews did live in Palestine/ Middle East
