I am a Christian. I have gone on Israel National News (Arutz Sheva) many times over the past couple of years. I have checked out their comment section. Considering the Jews in Israel claim to be “God’s chosen people” they how a lot of hatred for those who are not Jewish, especially hatred for anyone in Gaza.
Often times, I am the only commenter who tries to convince them that Gazans are just as human as they are. They see Gazans as Hamas. They don’t see them as regular people. The Israeli Jews claim that Gazans are brainwashed to hate Jews, yet, the truth is that Jews are the ones who are brainwashed. They show the same hatred that they accuse Gazans of having.
The ZioNazis need to be defunded, dismantled, prevented from ever occupying any nation. They should be sent to Siberia, let them build snowmen, and women and children made of ice and snow for their target practice. They deserve to be banished to the edges of the frozen tundra, exiled, excluded from society.
the jews are NOT a ” chosen people ” and never were… It was a claim they themselves invented, there is Nothing of GOD in the claim… Other peoples invented a similar claim: the Inca believed they were the chosen of INTI, the Romans said they were the chosen of VENUS GENETRIX, the Sumerians believed they were the chosen of ENLIL, the Egyptians believed they were the chosen of AMUN-RE… the jewish claim to be the only ” chosen ” is meaningless and is a Myth and a Lie and a Blasphemy.
