The most ardent supporters of Israel are white evangelical Christians. Israel is supported both emotionally and financially.

Dishonesty like this is how they keep the rubes of Whell’s World seething.

us us us us us us us and them them them them them them them

because of ancestry, or territoriality, or religion or ideology? really?

or because we've got instincts finely honed to keep us alive when we were a band of 50 hunters and gatherers, but the results are absurd when projected through a nation-state of millions?

There is a study, not recalling completely the details at this moment.

The jest was a small group of people IIRC around 50 or less. They got along and cooperated well together. Had to work for the common good.
Increasing the group quickly devolved into tribal competitiveness. Jockeying for control over the rest.

And the other set of rubes, how are they hooked?

The last paragraph from the link:
"Even during war, Ari, they go to their point of major fanaticism, which is climate change," she said. "That's what Americans should be uniting around - not Israel's survival".
.................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ......

If there is any country in the Middle East that is assured survivability in terms of war that country certainly would be Israel...Israel is the only nuclear power in the area.

Nobody sane claims religion is rational.

Don't they despise Muslims too? I guess if you don't believe in the Holy Trinity you're sol?

What is bullshit is the phony shock from the christian world when the news and the newreels of the liberated death camps were released in early 1945.

Fucking Germans who threw up the nazi salute and who lived within smelling distance of Belsen Bergen and Dachau feigning shock, shedding bullshit tears, when they were forced to go to the camps and toss the rotting Jew bodies from mounds of them into mass graves in the newsreels.

I can tolerate all kinds of crap out of you, whell...but don't be an asshole about the holocaust.
